so we're about to enter a period of massive inflation whilst the Fed continues to cut rates?
news algos minor spike in futures up, expect price decay as day progresses.
inflationary FED, long term outlook has upside bias on yield, but gloommongerers would have you believe we are entering a depression, which implies 4% or lower on the 10 year. But with a proactive FED, the odds shift in favor of a inflationary yield explosion.

with the debasement of the dollar, the FED has very few choices in the face of unprecedented deflationary pressures. So they have inflate us out of this mess. Which is being realized on the dollar index and in some ways the bond market.
thanks Xymox. are you saying that the fed no longer 'cares' about inflation, ditto the BofE - they are more worried about a risk of recession? also, is the bond market not worried at all about inflation? thanks
the FED senses what can happen if they don't inflate, look at the Northern Rock fiasco, they need to escalate asset prices fast, mainly equities to preserve some good sentiment in the market place.
the FED oscillates between deflationary concerns and inflationary concerns, their main concern now is deflation as evidenced by the FED move this past week. FED will only be concerned with inflation once deflationary risks subside. The summation of all these dynamics are the yield oscillations that occur over multidecade spans. Thus risks are higher that yields move up in anticipation of inflation.
