“Stock investors are placing too much weight on inflation and Federal Reserve monetary policy — and that’s ‘bizarre,’ given longer-term US bond yields are more important, a top Bank of America strategist has said.”
USAGOLD note: There will be new bond concerns as we move into September, and the Fed’s withdrawal from the market as a buyer becomes more of a direct factor in pricing. The strategist mentioned – Savita Subramanian – sees the yield curve as more critical than Fed jawboning. “This is a very complex moment for equities,” she asserts. From a historical perspective, it might be helpful to note that the ten-year-two-year yield curve has not been this inverted since 2000 (just before the launch of gold’s secular bull market) and before that in 1980 (the peak of the 1970s stagflation).
