Commodities!
Here is a chart showing TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) vs TLT long-dated bonds.
As inflation fears rise TIPS outperforms TLT . (Color RED)
As the CRB commodity Index rose (Color Blue) TIPS outperformed TLT .
Now that the CRB INDEX is hitting 12-year resistance area it is likely to at least pause along with
inflation fears. If the CRB breaks out here we could see a wave of selling in bonds pushing yields
even higher. At some point, the FED will have to act with operation "TWIST" (buying more long
dated bonds rather than short) or increase QE .
From a social perspective expect people to start bitching about Food inflation and supermarkets.
Again IF the CRB breakout.
