TIPS went negative yield on Monday.
Anticipating inflation??

Negative yields on TIPS signals deflation. Paul Krugman has been writing about how all signs point to deflation for over a year now (although no one on this board is likely to give him any credit for it).

I am confused. I thought negative TIPS yield signifies that people are expecting inflation.

Off topic. It’s 11:57 AM..Why do I get the sneaking feeling, the markets are going to turn around in the last hour and end break even or maybe even a little positive today after initially falling 100 pts this morning. Seems like sentiment is “we don’t give a sh!t the economy is bad, we’re going to rally anyway”… Bubble forming again?

I don’t know about the break even at the end of the day thing, but I’m 100% with you on “Bubble forming again”
