Low yields mean HIGH bond prices. Low long term yields equate to low inflation over time?....Steep yield curve like today equates to recovery in corporate and banking profits? Food commodity index is up 6.5% annualized over the last 4 years. So if you don't eat or drive, then I guess you can say there's been no inflation. Yet commodity prices crashing for two plus years signal the opposite.. a mixed bag as I always say.. I would think the ultimate items to look for in cost push inflation over the long run would be oil prices, costs to construct, rents and wages?
