U.S. stocks now offer near the most minuscule yields in relation to expected inflation in more than a decade as the Fed's breakneck balance sheet expansion spurs imbalances in global financial markets.
The real earnings yield on the S&P 500 was around 1.64% at Tuesday's close. The measure, which strips out expected inflation in one year from the forward nominal earnings yield, touched a low of 1.16% in May. At the end of 2018, it hit a peak of 9.32% in Bloomberg data going back to the start of 2011.
