The Yield Awakening
Financial markets have entered a more unsettled phase, with long-term yields, until very recently, rising notably across the US, Europe, and Japan.

The US dollar and Treasuries
Savings and investment imbalances
Central banks' QE policies
US productivity growth
Productivity growth in other advanced economies
Electricity prices
