Oh ok, that makes more sense to me. So why have rates AND bond prices gone up?

IMO simply supply and demand. political instability + weaker economic growth make bonds w/ a fixed coupon payment more attractive relative to stocks.  
  
 Assuming relatively constant amounts of bond supply, as more people want move money into bonds, demand goes up and so does price even with rising rates
