Episode notes
Bond Market Signals
- The 10-year Treasury yield rising above 4% is not unnatural, but the rapid pace of the bond market's move is concerning.
- This move may signal negative economic factors like increased bond issuance, not just a strong economy.
Market Volatility
- The market's volatility, up 25% in recent days, is noteworthy even with the S&P's relatively small decline.
- This rise in volatility could be linked to short-term interest rate expectations or geopolitical concerns.
Uneven Economic Landscape
- Investors should analyze a variety of economic data, not just rely on the payroll numbers, to assess the economy.
- The economy is currently uneven, with some sectors performing well and others struggling, according to Peter Bookvar.
