If I had your view of inflation I wouldn't put on such a flattening trade but, if its working, that's all you need to know. Never assume that the markets are supposed to make sense, huh?
Keep in mind that I've no plans to be in it even 2 weeks from now, and very possibly will be out of it sooner. If the mkt will give me a full handle, I'm gone, gone, gone out of it. We're not talking about a''macro'' trading position here, just a short-timer.
