The Bond market in the US looks like it is beginning to turn as there is now a non confirmation between 30 year bonds and shorter term. The implications of this are higher bond yields (deflation) which would set up a huge dollar rally and falling asset prices like stocks and property. In this situation QE2 is going to look like a dinghy.

Any thoughts, can the central banks control all parts of the interest rate curve?
