Friday 29th October 2021Three year bond yields rose well above the RBA’s target of 0.1 percent yesterday, but the central bank didn’t buy any up as part of its yield control.

Christine Lagarde said there was a lot of soul searching at yesterday’s ECB meeting, where the discussion was all about "inflation, inflation, inflation". In the end they reaffirmed that inflation was a transitory issue and there was no need for the bank to react. Yet Germany and Spain reported the highest inflation rates in decades.
