The Fed controls the short term rate. The long term rate is determined by the market place based on inflation expectation. If the dollar drops, import prices go up. Coupled with tight labor market, that may raise fear of inflation. XAU goes up and long bond goes down.

But so far deflationary effects seem to be dominant.

HB,

I believe Jay said it well in his post to you, that the Feds control the near term rates, not the long bond prices.
