Ben chabot(@chabot_ben):What's driving the increase in bond yields? A new post on the blog: https://t.co/5yagcKIfDd Neither the increase in issuance nor changes in uncertainty can explain the increase in bond yields over the past 8 week. Fear of future issuance and models of contagious runs do fit the data, however. I talk about what these models predict can happen to bond yields and what datapoints I'm looking for from Jackson Hole and the economy.
