Yields on 10-year US Treasuries have fallen to 2.4pc – a level that was unseen even in the Great Depression. This is "return-free risk", said bond guru Jim Grant.
The problem is that timing this trade is pretty hard. I doubt that it will take a better part of the decade for Helicopter Ben to reflate the economy, but the better part of a year or two ... that doesn't sound so crazy. This is why it's so hard to go short treasuries and long inflation at the moment.
