The headliner from that article should have been "Real Interest Rates are Rising, even as Fed keeps their rates artificially low".

This is just the beginning. Pretty soon, the market will start demanding much higher coupon rates on Treasuries, which will force the rates higher. Either that, or our government will be forced to print enough money to buy 100% of it's own Treasury issuance to continue the charade that there's demand for low yield Treasuries.

Confidence continues to erode.
