on Long-term bond yieldsNeutralOct 1, 2026· Prof G Markets
Long-term bond yields should be analyzed through factors other than Fed policy or inflation.
“it basically says to me, if you want to talk about— there's one big story of the day, what's going on with long-term bonds. If you want to talk about that, stop talking about the Fed. In fact, stop talking about inflation.”
