No, I meant interest rates. There's an inverse correlation between interest rates and asset prices. Most governments have been keeping interest rates low since the financial crisis to spur investment, which causes asset rates to rise. So while asset prices are high on an absolute level interest rates are also much lower than the historical average. My guess is that if you account for interest rates being so low assets aren't priced all that highly.
