Essentially, longer-term yields are barely responding because of worries over on-going global deflationary pressures:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;global inflation is a tug-of-war between bottlenecks in parts of the rich world and imported deflation from emerging markets, and the enduring fall or stagnation of prices looks set to dominate for a while yet.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Economist describes three stark examples of &#8220;lowflation.&#8221; Saudi Arabia has helped drive oil prices well below levels required to maintain its massive public spending programs. Like oil-exporting Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia may soon be forced to drop its peg to the now strong dollar. As China struggles to maintain the high growth rates it needs, its pacing with the U.S. dollar could become increasingly problematic. An unanchored Chinese currency could touch off significant devaluations around Asia. Finally, lowflation could create an increasingly &#8220;lopsided&#8221; economy in the U.S. with services motoring along and manufacturing increasingly suffering. The Economist concludes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;All this would make for a strangely configured economy by the end of the year. An unemployment rate of 4%, a Fed Funds rate below 1%, an overvalued dollar, a strong housing market and inflation below the Fed\u2019s target of 2% is a plausible, if very odd, mix, which could portend either a sudden burst of inflation or enduringly feeble demand.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Most importantly for trading the U.S. dollar is that the export of deflation from struggling global economies should put further upward pressure on the U.S. dollar even if the Fed decides to stop hiking rates. Perhaps the Japanese yen might absorb those pressures, but the Bank of Japan (BoJ) is likely to act (panic?) against such pressures.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the U.S. dollar will continue to occupy center stage in 2016.
