for example, last year, when interest rate ->0, the bonds should be up. but
they were not.

l**********t 发帖数: 5754 | 10 what "bond" do you refer to?
if you refer to the credit markets -- commercial papers/corporate bonds/MBS/
high-yield bonds, the return is determined by both risk-free interest rate (
i.e. Treasury etc) and credit spread (i.e, chance of default /bankrupcy).
During the crisis last year, credit spread widened dramatically -- some part
of the credit market literally forzen in the mid of the panic.
While, the tide turned and credit spread narrows this year (so far). |

last year, the rate was down, gov bonds should be up. but bonds were actually
down (right?).

h*******y 发帖数: 864 | 15 Equities, gold and government bonds all produced double-digit returns over
the past three months. That has occurred only twice before in the past 50
years. On each occasion when it broke down, the casualties were equities and
the gold price as the economy slipped into a double-dip recession.

h*******y 发帖数: 864 | 17 2 points do not show trend. The future is always unpredictable. But one
thing is certain: the three asset classes have very different exposures to
risk (equities are risky, bonds and gold are safe havens) and to inflation (
gold is a good inflation hedge, bonds are not, and equities lie somewhere in
between). So when they do rise at the same time, it's because one or the
other of them is mistaken. Fair-price is always boring so it should be
exciting to see some mis-price in the current market. T

h*******y 发帖数: 864 | 18 That's correct. But it doesn't explain why gold is going in the same
direction. High inflation/inflation expectation will push bond/stock price
down while the gold price rises.
Last time when that happened, the economy is entering double-dip recession
in late 1982. The gold traders thought the inflation will come back up by
the FED's easing to fight the recession. The equity and bond holders
believed that Volker will stand firm. The equity and bond market traders
both enjoyed 20 years of rally a

Yes. And it could happen again. After all, 20 years into their crisis, and
with gross government debt heading for 200% of GDP, Japanese bonds yield
just 1.3%. So ten-year treasury bond yields of 3.5% may be reasonable after
all.
The question is still, would the future be inflationary or deflationary?
Government bonds work great in a deflationary world.
