OBJECTIVELY, THE STRONGEST US ECONOMY EVER:
US bond yields have never been this low--and we looked at data going back to 1786 (Matt Phillips, 7/07/16, Quartz)
[T]o really understand what makes the bond market interesting, you have to look at the big picture. A really big picture. You basically need like 200 years worth of data. Luckily, the good people at Global Financial Data have just provided us with just that in the form of monthly US long-term bond yields stretching all the way back to 1786. Using more than two centuries of amalgamated data on long-term high-quality bonds, we can see that interest rates in the US have struck never before seen low levels recently.
