Episode Synopsis

The bond market has taken a major U-turn in recent weeks, causing the ever-important 10-year Treasury yield to jump from a three-year low of less than 1.43% in September to almost 2% on Thursday. Is this a turning point for fixed income or just a correction in an overbought Treasuries market? Robert Tipp, chief investment strategist at PGIM Fixed Income, shares his thoughts. Bloomberg Executive Editor Chris Nagi also explains what the rise in yields means for a U.S. stock market that touched record highs this week.  Mentioned in this podcast:Career Risk Flashing in Fund Land as Only 29% Beat BenchmarksU.S. Rates: Low for Long, But Likely PositiveRobinhood Traders Discovered a Glitch That Gave Them ‘Infinite Leverage’​​​​​​​Correction: This post incorrectly identified Robert Tipp’s title.
