With the election of Trump, things have changed in basic ways. For investors, the market is more uncertain, information is less reliable. People can lie more because the consequences are fewer. Thing are more uncertain, and I expect the market to compensate for that in a variety of ways.==Hiram
Trump is often Babout things because he often takes all sides on an issue. Trump campaigned against inflation, but without ever giving and indication of seriously thinking about the problem.

And of course higher prices are bad for bond prices. --HIram
