The bull charges on
It has been another strong week for markets with the S&P 500 Index (measuring the performance of the 500 largest listed US companies) hitting all-time highs against a backdrop of a surging bond market. Previous iterations of this publication have highlighted the trend of fairly rapidly and persistently rising bond yields over recent weeks; the pause in this dynamic this week has been slightly strange, especially given the strong print on US retail sales which was announced on Thursday.
Charging Ahead
A recent report shows sales of electric vehicles across the world are growing significantly, we find out why this has happened, who the big players are and what the future holds.
A moment of quiet
It has been a strong week for equities as further dovishness from the Federal Reserve helped bolster market sentiment. Investors were relatively unfazed by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s further reminders that the pandemic is far from over, or by surprisingly high applications for US state unemployment insurance.
A pause for breath
After rising to their highest point since record lows in 2020 last week, the upward momentum in US treasury yields paused. Despite this pause, Jerome Powell stated that Federal Reserve officials have been monitoring the rise in yields since January but rejected claims that it warranted concerns.
