Terry, the yield curve suggests that bond traders are looking at current economic conditions more favorably than future conditions. also, think back to the time when inflation actually peaked, in the early '80's. the bond market didn't want to believe it at first. the 'inflation is here forever' mindset took a while to be changed. the same is true of the disinflation mindset. btw, i don't think that the secular deflationary trend is vanquished yet - i'm pretty certain it will re-assert itself eventually.
