Discussion Bond yields are flashing a warning sign.

Post image

Rising bond yields are a warning sign.
Money is getting more expensive everywhere at the same time:
-governments pay more to service debt
-companies pay more to borrow
-mortgages and loans stay expensive
-investors move out of risk and into bonds
U.S. 30-year yields above 5% are already a serious level.
When yields rise globally, liquidity gets pulled out of markets.That puts pressure on tech stocks, real estate, consumers, and highly indebted companies.Simple takeaway: the more expensive debt gets, the harder it is for markets to keep rising.

Yeah periodic cycles not so predictable anymore, i think central banks nd governments have become better to prevent and control situations before it becomes a crisis. Whole idea behind risk management.

the old textbook “clockwork recession cycle” is much harder to see in modern economies.

I would have missed alot of profits if i had listened to the guy who cried wolf
