Everyone is running their mouth. Bernanke is talking about indefinite QE, Yellen is saying that she will accommodate the markets any way that she can and Larry Summers is talking about 0% interest rates to avoid economic depression. All of that is garbage.
The only thing that truly matter is the 10-Year Note chart above. As you can see the chart is extremely bullish. I have said numerous times here, it is fatal to believe that the FED’s can control interest rates. They can influence them over the short term, but interest rates will behave as they should over the long run. The chart above clearly indicates that interest rates have reversed their course and are climbing up. Given massive amount of leverage and speculation in the system, even a misery 0.5% increase from this point on will have huge negative consequences. Should interest rates zoom up within a short period of time (which they might) there will be hell to pay.
This is the most important trend to watch going forward. So far the trend is incredibly bullish (for interest rates). This plays very well into my forecast of the bear market starting in 2014. This fundamental development confirms it.
