The market isn't some kind of oracle. It's driven by sentiment.

And the bond market controls rates.



The bond market controls rates, but the fed sets the floor.

For example, if you believe we would had decades of a near zero federal funds rate, you might be willing to accept a 2% yield on a 30 year bond. But if you thought the long term federal funds rate was going to be 2%, you might want 4% or more on the long bond.


The fed follows the market rates - their control is an illusion.
