    THE most significant piece of news for many investors this past week was that inflation in the United States continued to ease in October.

    The headlines triggered a plunge in US Treasury bond yields, a sell-off in the US dollar, and a nearly 2 per cent jump in the S&P 500 index on Tuesday (Nov 14).
