I have read about bond yields being prescient, you guys are saying that 2017 will be good, I have read others who say that 2017 will be bad. They use bonds, demographics and trends in the graphs to predict. They make their living off these projections.

They are also predicting that the second half of this year there will be a mild recession.

There has been a mild rise in 10yr bond rates which would seem to indicate a slow down in the latter part of this year.

Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't a economy based on debt be at the risk of Federal Reserve action who have a primary impact on short term rates.

The cost of money rises when they make that decision up or down. A direct impact to many consumers which will impact DTI levels

Also, it's not just buying the treasuries as well, it's also purchases of MBS.
