The stock market is reaching new heights, but the bond market seems to be singing a different tune. The question arises whether the bond market is signaling an impending recession.

In Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent visit to Serbia, he extolled bonds “forged with blood” between the two countries from NATO’s bombing of Belgrade. Yet, it is concerns over future aggression, not past wars, that have the world focused on China. The Biden administration, the US Congress, and other governments have raised alarms about China’s military build-up, arguing that Western investors should not be sending money to Chinese companies that are helping to support the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). As the UK non-profit Hong Kong Watch explained in a statement before the House of Lords...

It’s seen as a first attempt to test EU member states’ appetite for jointly issuing debt to bolster the bloc's defence industry as war rages on its eastern flank. Although divisive, French President Emmanuel Macron and Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas have both backed the idea in the past. In February's summit, Kallas suggested that the bonds should amount to a total of €100 billion.

New York (AFP) - The surge in US treasury yields has sparked much anxiety among investors, in part because there is no easy explanation for the rise. On Friday, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury note climbed to 4.88 percent for the first time since 2007, while the 30-year offering reached 5.05 percent, also a 16-year peak. Both have edged back in recent days, due mainly to elevated geopolitical risk, analysts say, although yields remain high. The most oft-cited justification for the rise has been expectations that monetary policy will stay hawkish in response to the resilient US economy. "T...

Washington (AFP) - Yields on the 10-year US government bond are flirting with a 15-year high this week, amid growing fears that strong growth and low unemployment could keep interest rates higher for longer. The US Federal Reserve has raised interest rates 11 times since March 2022, and has hinted it may have to do so again in the coming months if inflation remains above its long-term target of two percent. The 10-year US government bond, or Treasury note, is considered to be an especially safe investment, and is closely scrutinized due to its use as a benchmark for pricing everything from h...

Should I stay or try something else? -Jerold Still, you want your money to work for you, and the prospect of big returns is enticing.

S&P 500 buyers stepped in quite early indeed – no surprise as the sell into the open couldn‘t yet have lasted. Even the battle around intraday lows spelled the return of the bulls. Q1 2023 hedge fund letters, conferences and more (…) Still, the key theme of this week is going to be Wednesday‘s CPI – look for the headline YoY figure to come in at 5.4% (no higher than 5.5% really), but for the core CPI to remain more resilient. The market will in my view again take that as "the Fed will really pivot now" (really this time), even though the core CPI wouldn‘t support that notion. I continue to thi...

Don’t tell my wife. But me and Roth IRA Investments — we got a thing going on. After all, it’s the greatest wealth-building tool. Roth IRAs offer one of the best ways to invest for retirement, and many experts even consider them the best retirement account. This is because you can grow your Roth IRA money tax-free for decades and then withdraw it tax-free in retirement. In other words, the government will never touch your nest egg.
