how yields, an see government debts, whether in u.k. or even in japan, surprisingly, and of course here in the u.s., they're going up and that is -- hat's some synchronization happening that we hadn't seen before. seems to be rallying the markets a bit as we saw today. what do you make of that? synchronized to the up side and we think the g part to play in this. dollar strength ending that hannel lower basically puts in place a requirements for global elds to go up to lock up the up. structure to move otherwise the dollar gets too rong and you have a negative looping into other markets. e think the dollar was the key and obviously the statements out of europe today where the effort

years. 28 do you think that could still wyden before it narrows? unfortunately, yes because we think the effort c.b. is going slowed.credibly by all accounts the fed will times to three more this year and programs one or two times next year. us a two-year in the u.s. up towards a 3% level. think we quite get there this year but it's likely that the front end of the german curve can keep up after a few months, they should catch up. do you think the ftness across the board is justified or programs temporary? a global ertainly growth trade that fueled the in 18 months to 24 months markets and real bullishness in

europe. think the flip side is going to become the concern. if you've had all this upside in flows and the positive and equity markets perform and still don't have rates higher, does increase the risk that the effort k.b. -- e.c.b. is in a tram. we think that the effort c.b. may be missing their window. to move quickly and it already may be too late. rates have a harder time moving up on the back end f the curve. yvonne: golden came out with a to t saying when it comes u.s. yield they think there could be more of a jump. is a time when the employment rate is at record lows they say hasn't lapped the vietnam and korean wars. they're saying we could just to by next year.

do you think that's overdone a bit? >> we do. the fed will push higher. however however, once you get second half of 2019, fed's response function is likely to change because rates we already be higher and think you act more slowly and ou'll be starting to look at the second half of 2019 when fiscal impulseis starts to roll out of the numbers that ultimately keeps 10-year rate contained in the u.s. a il we -- unless well see big influence come in. that's where we're looking to can go to 3 year a quarter. yvonne: it's interesting to see y officials talk about the inverted curve yield. bowler of the st. louis fed who says the fed
