Bearish:

• $BONDS - Quinn argues that short-term bond yields, particularly in the two to five-year range, have limited downside potential due to inflation expectations, suggesting a bearish outlook on bonds.

  • “I would argue that two year and many outside of three months, obviously three months, whatever, super front end. But I would argue the two and five year don't really have much room to go lower. They're already in the threes and inflation is expected to come above three in the next six months.”
