Deep dives
Bond market fluctuations and reversal of trends
The podcast discusses recent market events that have impacted bond markets, including the rise in US 10-year yields due to higher oil prices and the Federal Reserve's messaging on policy rates. However, there has been a reversal of this trend as some Fed officials talk about tightening policies at the long end of the curve. The podcast also touches on the recent events in Israel and the potential knock-on effects. Overall, the podcast explores whether this reversal is just a retracement or if it is indicative of a time to buy bonds more aggressively.
