It’s been about Bonds today

The focus today has been all about the Bond rout and the yin and yang consequential spike with yields and this is being reported as the reason for the move out of stocks. I am a chartist and not an economist but I understand the relationship between Bonds and yields. However, I am reading, from far more learned people in this matter, that the slide with BOTH Bonds and Stocks is a worrisome issue. I also note that there has been no Flight to Safety into Gold but there has been some into the Yen. Perhaps this is the chop that comes with ‘Distribution’?

 

NB: I spoke too soon about my email situation. I am now able to send emails but not receive. The web hosting company is helping me sort this but it seems to be taking some time 🙁
