sits oddly with

English英语译成Chinese汉语 商务/金融 经济学 World economy
So what has caused this burst of volatility? One popular explanation conjures up fears of rising inflation and hence higher interest rates. Yet this sits oddly with the fall in bond yields and the gold price over the past week: if inflation were the culprit, you would expect both to have risen. The real puzzle is not why volatility has suddenly increased, but why it had been so low in the past year or so. The answer seems to be an abundance of cheap money, which lured investors into complacency. Now they are starting to demand higher returns on riskier assets. Emerging-market equities and metals, not (generally safer) bonds, suffered the biggest mauling in the past week. It could be a healthy correction.

"下跌"好像太严重,下降比较合适 given that both yield and gold price are moving higher.
