Quantitative Easing is dead and buried. The bond curve just hit a steepness that was last seen in October... not of last year but of 2003.

If this continues it will destroy any plans for providing cheap 30 year mortgages. The alternative: make near durations unattractive to the point where banks start losing money from the curve flattening.
