Jim, Bond prices are simple to explain. Phony low short rates have allowed the carry trade to generate extraordinary profits for scamster corporations, banks and govts, borrowing short at negative rates and lending long at a large spread. It is possible that short rates may catch up to reported inflation by the end of the year and real inflation within a couple of years, at which time the carry trade starts to die and bond prices take a dive.
