On January 31, 2013, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond stood at 2.00 percent, an increase of 62 basis points (0.62 percent) since the low hit in July 2012. However, the yield remains much lower than the 10-year average of 3.70 percent. With the December Core Consumer Price Index rising 1.9 percent year-over-year, inflation-adjusted bonds for the next five years are trading at a negative real yield. Yet, inflows into fixed income investment vehicles continue to outpace inflows into stock investment vehicles (which have seen net outflows since 2007).
