"But consistent with the desires of a central banker who works for a profligate government. On the one hand he needs bond yields to stay low. On the other he needs stocks to recover to support the illusion the economy is recovering. Can you have both a rising stock market and rising government bonds? Gee, I dont think so. Its going to be a fascinating show to watch."

I'll add to that. You can't have gold rising in that environment too, surely, especially when the USD is going up too.

If everything is rising it means that the world is awash with cash - which it aint (yes I know the printing presses have been in overdrive, but where is the liquidity derived from this printing).

Something has to give.

Equities have been rising along with bond yields, but it is interesting to note that the former has been doing so on thin volume (at least the DJIA according to this article: http://www.kitco.com/ind/palha/apr082010.html).

So if bonds and equities are rising, but on thin volume (at least for equities), then it would be reasonable to suggest that there is some form of manipulation going on. If gold is also going up then that just adds to intrigue.

Can anyone comment on the volume of gold trading over the last few months. Is it consistent with previous periods or is the volume high/ low? It would be interesting to compare market participation in the bond, equity and gold markets.

On reflection I have one possible reason for everything going up. Perhaps money is moving out of the Euro and certain european markets into USD/ GOLD/ BONDS/ Foreign equity markets. This due of course to the Greece etc debacle.
