According to Park City Journal, mortgage interest rates have gone up due to fear of inflation. Is that true?

I think on a gut level it must be true. Already, we’ve seen gas prices at the pump rise to unprecedented rates and have in fact doubled. Naturally, other things followed: A rise in grocery bills, home heating and cooling bills, prices in other areas of the economy. In order to make ends meet, people in virtually every industry have had to raise prices to meet their rising costs of living. It looks like inflation has already caught up with us.

As pointed out at PCJ, because of this fear of inflation (which is a real concern), bonds are being sold. That usually drives us mortgage interest rates and we see that happening. The big question is, How long will this continue before the economy stabilizes?
