Rates are up primarily due to the fact that economic growth just does not show signs of slowing down (which should augur well for growth stocks). Although it has not been the case in recent history, strong growth is usually followed by uptick in prices. Most of the growth is due to gains in productivity; however, one could argue that some of the strength is due to one too many interest rate cuts last fall which has increased liquidity. Although the rate cuts had the desired effect on the international economies, they have sparked inflation fears at home. Today's inflation figures will keep stocks on the defensive for some time. The increase in the long bond may help slow the mortgage market - finallly some slope is returning to the yield curve (which may end up being good for financial stocks).
