Equity market rally stalls and US Treasury yields surge

The equity market rally seen earlier in the week stalled yesterday and 2 and 10-year US Treasury yields climbed 13 basis points amid fears of a global slowdown. The Japanese Yen is inching towards the psychological barrier of 150 relative to the US dollar, so investors are watching closely for further intervention to support the currency. Nicolas Jordan, CIO Strategy & Investment Analysis, provides details on the latest discussions with regard to the bank’s investment strategy.
