The real story is the weakening economy not the debt talks. If it was not, the bonds would be making new lows and not new highs. Maybe the Fed is taking profits in stocks and buying bonds. Either way, stocks are falling and bonds are rallying according to the trends. None of the experts are long bonds yet but they will be squawking it up for the bonds when their daddy the Fed wants to sell.
Commodities are generally weak but the precious metals and copper are still showing strength with Gold at a new high at 1631. It looks more and more that a double dip is coming. I have been saying for the past year that the winner will be the US bond markets and the losers will be equities, commodities and the economy. It looks like that day is coming closer.
