Australia's 3-year bond yield is trading at 2.79 per cent yesterday morning, which is of course a long way below the current cash rate target of 3.60 per cent.
I reckon it will be important to stay focused on the big picture over the next 3 to 6 months.
There will probably be a lot of jumping at shadows and shouty headlines about stagflation or a return to the 1970s.
