As the basis of the idea of this thread was that actually as opposed to what I had previously thought, that pensions needing to pay retirees would by definition need to sell stocks, and act as negative on future stock valuations, the lower interest rates are actually causes pensions to be underfunded so they need more contributions, which has a feedback loop to the stock market.
