On September 17, Jim Cramer argued that bond yields are reacting to two forces at once: the hawkish policy signals associated with Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, and a concurrent drop in crude oil prices.

A hawkish Fed chair suggests tighter policy and upward pressure on yields, while falling oil prices ease near-term inflation and can pull yields lower. Cramer's view is that oil is the more immediate lever.
