If you think AG raising interest rates is the source of risk to the market -- and I don't know if that is what you or the thread thinks -- but if it is, then I would urge you to think again.<< Gst-- What? wasn't just a few months ago we were all crying wolf about deflation and that is still my concern not inflation. Gst i think that rates have been price into the markets 6- 9 mos out already. One thing i'll say this the markets are acting like this is because of uncertain direction in the economy. As long as it remains strong without inflation, i'm ok with this. Inflation is not a problem yet, imo. Typically the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds is three percentage points above the yield on three-month Treasury bills. When it gets wider than that -- and the slope of the yield curve increases sharply -- then long-term bond holders are sending a message that they think the economy( oh must think Global economy today, world has changed) will improve quickly in the future. Do we see that today? So i'm incline to say our markets can withstand a steeper yield curve right now.
