Asian Stocks Set to Fall, Fed Keeps Rates on Hold: Markets Wrap Bloomberg.com The bond market to Kevin Warsh: What are you doing about inflation?

What it means
The genuinely new element here is not the Fed hold — that was widely anticipated and already reflected in the prior signal — but the surge in long-end Treasury yields to their highest levels since 2007, driven by bond market concern about inflation and fiscal borrowing costs. A spike in 30-year yields historically pushes long-duration bond prices lower. The equity downside was already called in the prior signal.
