Take this for what it is worth. I've been told by dealers of two separate instances of slow money selling IG bonds into big BWICs and switching into other asset classes. In my experience, this is kind of rare, given that most money stays within an asset class and just sloshes around between sectors (and cash).

I don't know the who or what, but I'll just throw this theory out there. I think some pension funds are getting a little too bold and could be switching from their immunization strategies (i.e., liability defeasance) into total return strategies (you know, the same strategies that made them overweight equities in 2000 and 2007, leading to their severely underfunded states.

If this becomes a small trend (i.e., asset/liability mismatches across the corporate and municipal spectrum), I would expect equities and commodities to catch a marginal bid.

I hope I'm wrong (think of the pensioners being thrown under the bus by their investment committees), but I wouldn't put it past any money manager right now to throw caution to the wind and start risking to chase a rally that already happened.

It's hard to go long when you're so close to all time highs. Some are willing to take that chance. I'd rather be a spectator. Plus the EU rumors are flying again so things must be getting worse.

It's funny that the MSM keeps hyping that EU officials are working on a bailout for Spain while Spain & Italy have said they won't seek a bailout unless yields surge.
