'You may find it surprising, but Macro Thoughts warns against complacency over lower yields'

So why now, as the ECB lowers its inflation expectations, as FOMC members start to question their own decision to raise rates, and as US yields fall below 2.05%, should Macro Thoughts warn against complacency over lower yields?

  • The US Government will find it increasingly difficult to sell bonds
  • Has Yellen underestimated the timing of the next financial crisis?
  • Pressure on US debt markets
  • Central banks will watch the RBNZ for guidance
  • Russia and China - struggles ahead
  • Europe - Growing political risk could threaten EU unity further
  • UK - Brexit optimism for consumers
  • Currencies – Buying Sterling, the new safety trade?

In May, Macro Thoughts forecast UK CPI to be close to peaking, and since then inflation has fallen slightly, (from 2.9% to 2.6%).  Next week, CPI data for August will be released and may be higher…. Sterling may start to increase in popularity as a safer place for investments...
