taylor: john, your thoughts. better growth optimism is an argument for higher yields, but i would highlight two other components. inflation continues to be very subdued. 2019 was supposed to be a year of higher inflation. not only did that not happen but inflation moved lower across a set of measures. the second component is the fed. they have adopted an asymmetric reaction function, unlikely to raise rates given the low inflationary environment. i think there is a chance they cut rates, whether that is in response to a growth downturn, which would be a straightforward reason to cut, or even if inflation is too weak, chance that they cut. against that, subdued inflation and asymmetric and accommodative fed. our view is those two things will matter more and keep yields , low for the foreseeable future. taylor: i wanted to talk about the fed, because john brought it up. the wirp function on the bloomberg shows no movement in either direction in the first half of the year. i know it is far out, but what is your take
