I don't think there is such a thing as a secondary market for I Bonds. Such a thing would be TIPS. But that doesn't negate the increased value for individuals holding the higher yielding I Bonds currently. I read the decrease as an effort to more closely match the yield on the 5 year note. I looked at the 5 yr, as there is a penalty for cashing an I bond prior to year 5. I think 3% real return should be reasonable for govt securities- which implies to me that a 1% deflation rate would be required in pricing them in this manner.
