That's a representation of the cause, AD being low. The bond market shows a couple things:
Lack of confidence in equity market performance - searching for yield. Apparently bonds, at a negative real yield, are better at maintaining wealth than playing with equities. Or at least it was. I think that's changing now....finally.
More confidence in national governments than market performance. Again, you saw waaay too much correlation within equities as it relates to geopolitical events and government policy.
I don't get how any of this suggests government debt is the cause. It clearly isn't.
