Take a look at what is happening in the bond markets which trade based on inflation in the real world. When inflation rises, bond yields rise and right now, sovereign bond yields are rising around the world.

- …The yield on 10-Year German Bunds has also broken its downtrend.
- Even Japan’s sovereign bonds are coming into the “inflationary” crosshairs with yields on the 10-Year Japanese Government Bond just beginning to break about their long-term downtrend.
…Central Banks cannot, and will not, risk blowing up this debt bomb. [Instead,] they are going to choose between…

- OR letting the bond bubble blow up, destabilizing the entire financial system and rendering most governments insolvent [and]
Central Banks are going to opt for #1 every single time. Period.
