Summary While 2022 was one of the toughest years ever for markets, the final quarter provided some relief. Major central banks, including the Fed, European Central Bank, and Bank of England, continue to wrestle with stubbornly high inflation rates. There's much disagreement about wh...
Summary High yield bonds are back above the inflation line. The Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Index now stands at 8.19%, which is now more than 100 basis points over our average inflation rate. It has been gradually creeping higher, partially because of the Fed’s rate manipulatio...
Summary The current slope of the US Treasury yield curve is inverted. Two-year yields are higher than 10-year yields, and to us that means that investors are focused on a few things. We’re starting to see a slowdown in interest-rate-sensitive sectors, most pronounced in US housin...

Summary Bonds were yielding nothing or just next to it for some time now, and didn’t seem to represent a decent investment opportunity. The Fed, in their meanderings, have changed all of this, and bonds are beginning to get more interesting lately. High-yield bonds are now on...
Summary Top-down and bottom-up forecasts are increasingly diverging, and we think 2023 will be largely about how these divergences resolve themselves. In commodities, after a major spike in 2022, top-down commentators point to slowing growth and inflation, and the historical pattern of ...
