Bonds and business cycles

As you know, I am a big believer the business cycle drives the price of all assets -- even the price of money.

As I discuss in detail in my The Peter Dag Portfolio, bond yields decline following a slowdown of the economy.

This time is no different.

I know what you are thinking. And the US deficit? All the analysts who believed that the deficit would be bearish for bonds were painfully wrong.

Watch the business cycle. Bond yields decline and prices rise following a slowdown in the economy. Yields rise and prices decline following stronger growth in the business cycle.

It is that simple.
