The theme holds that sticky inflation and heavy government deficits keep long-dated bond yields elevated, which hurts bondholders. Of the 134 houses covering it, 91 argue for the thesis, citing oil-driven inflation, supply-side price pressures that limit rate policy, and a lack of imminent Fed easing. A minority of 23 houses argue against it, pointing to flight-to-quality rallies in Treasuries and the view that headline inflation prints are overstated relative to core.
