Tony Crescenzi Bonds Quotations

I believe the current decline in stocks could have a significant influence on the economy -- and hence, bonds -- if the stock decline is sustained.

The pattern of the equity market lately is that it doesn't retain its bid for long. Bonds started to strengthen on a bet that stocks would weaken. It's rare that stocks hold a bid these days.

The supply of bonds won't have a large bearing on the yield levels or the structure of the yield curve, ... The influence on interest rates will come more fundamental factors such as inflation expectations, competition for capital and monetary policy.

This just is a reflection of the current environment with oil prices rising, security concerns. All of these factors are pushing players to buy bonds over stocks.
