5]Global Inflation and Bond Yields: “Many support the Fed’s decision to raise rates, and many think they will push the economy to ruin with this increase; however, the clear answer to the prospects comes from bond yields and inflation numbers. These numbers need to be watched closely to see if the stress shows any signs of easing,” said Sonam Srivastava of Wright Research.
