Wall street indices had another up week with S&P500 finishing in the green for it’s 5th week in a row (longest streak since March)
…And Nasdaq ended higher for 6th week in a row (Longest streak since May).
While many are ecstatic about Wall Street in record territory, few are keeping in mind the bond yield inversion that happened a few weeks ago.
If you are wondering why I’m watching Bond yields more than previous years:
1) yields affect bank profits.
2) inverted yield curve precedes recession.
3) we are seeing wild swings recently (chart above) impacting demand for risk-on or risk-off assets (as well as currencies and commodities).
4) over a quarter of debt is negative already globally, a sign we may see a cashless society very soon.
