  • Welcome to the Liquidity Surge

    I’ve been trying to reconcile the apparent mixed signals in credit markets relative to stock markets in the past 2 months. Inflation expectations implied by the 10-Year TIPS breakeven rate broke an intermediate-term downtrend on Monday, suggesting that investors are not overly concerned with deflation at the moment.
