Bond Bears & Why Rates Won’t Rise

Jon Alternative Media, Banking, Blogosphere, Market Commentary

Here we go again…
Since June of 2013, I have been writing about the reasons why rates can’t rise much and why calls for the end of the ‘bond bull market’remain wrong.
Regardless, about every 3-months or so, there is a tick up in rates and you can almost bet that soon thereafter will be a litany of articles explaining why THIS time the ‘bond bull market’ is really dead. For example, just from this past week:
Great Ready For The Great Bond Bust Of 2020 The Great Bond Bull Market May Be Coming To An End 700 Years Of Bond Data Forewarn Of Rapid Reversal From Low Interest Rates What is the argument from low rates will rise?
It basically boils down to simply this – rates are so low they MUST go up.
