The fact that L-T rates are rising may mean several things - foreign CBs buying them, our own Fed buying them via shady offshore entities in the Caribbean etc., or investors buying them because any other "cash equivalent" may be loaded with mortgage crap! So, L-T bonds are a mere parking place for scared money. Don't look at them for deciding whether there will be deflation or hyperinflation in the future.

Crude oil is up from 87 to near 93 in less than 2 days. Gold is up from 795 to about 815 in just one day. The commodities vigilantes are not buying into the "no inflation" theory that the Fed are selling together with the deflationists.
