Today we look at the acceleration higher in US treasury yields yesterday, with the entire yield curve from 5 years on out lifting aggressively and finally getting widening respect outside of the yield sensitive USDJPY and gold, as the USD was broadly bid on the development and the speed of the move was likely also behind the weaker US equity market after early trading saw new all-time high. Also a look at oil and copper as we wonder if the yield rises continue and the impact broadens further. Today's call with Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we take a look at the three previous major highs in the equity market and compare conditions then with conditions now, as we continue to maintain a cautious stance, particularly given the recent rise in bond yields. On that note, a look at the next key levels for US and UK 10-year yields, a run through what is holding gold back as the reflation narrative otherwise thrives, and much more. Today's call with Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we discuss the further ramping of US equity prices to new record highs for the cycle on Friday, as US long treasuries sold off steeply and even added to their losses overnight, sending long US yields to new highs for the cycle. This represents a tightening of financial conditions that will have consequences at some level, and one that could arrive a bit sooner for this cycle given a more leveraged global economy and aggressive valuation multiples. Also a look at the effects of this backdrop on FX and the latest ramp in some commodities prices as well as how the market is positioned in commodities. Today's call with Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we discuss whether, with conditions about as good as they can possibly get and ever have been historically, it is time to hedge risk exposure and take a few chips (or more) off the table. We also drill into Disney earnings, the Bumble IPO, why gold is struggling for air and oil should be struggling for air and a look at whether EURUSD could stay capped here. Today's call with Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at some "disturbances in the force" as some of the more speculative stocks have suddenly been in for some rough sledding even as the US market poked at all time highs briefly yesterday. As well, we note the incredible reach for yield in junk debt at the same time markets seem hyper-sensitive to the least jump in volatility - an echo of the crazy jump in vol over the r/wallstreetbets attack on shorted names. A thorough investigation of gold and copper drivers also on the call. Today's call with Peter Garnry on equities, Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

The week is starting where we left last week with equities zooming higher into new all-time highs and US 10-year yield rising as well with the market preparing for inflation. Over the weekend Summers and Blanchard critized the $1.9bn US stimulus plan as having the potential to create the worst inflation in a generation. In the short-term equities benefit over bonds and that is what we see expressed but as interest rates levels rise we do expect a sizeable impact on speculative segments of the equity markets. We are also looking at commodities as this sector is at the receiving end of global stimulus. We discuss bottlenecks in global manufacturing, higher oil prices and the reaction in gold. Today's call with Ole Hansen on commodities and Peter Garnry hosting and on equities.
