Mike Shedlock: Multiple factors drive long-term bond yield surge
Drivers of long-term bond yield surge

Mike Shedlock, author / blogger at MishTalk, challenges the prevailing explanations behind the recent surge in long-term bond yields.

He states it is not primarily due to the deficit or oil prices, suggesting other underlying factors may be playing a significant role.

Shedlock has recently highlighted a 0.4% increase in August consumer prices in his article on the likelihood of a September Fed interest rate hike. He also reported that U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by 29,000 in September, noting a concurrent rise in unemployment to 4.2 percent. These observations follow his ongoing coverage of key economic indicators.
