Episode notes
Fed Backfire
- The Fed's recent rate cuts backfired, causing the bond market to sell off and yields to rise.
- This mirrors the late 1970s, suggesting a loss of confidence in the Fed's actions.
Potential Bond Rally
- A bond market rally is possible if the economy or stock market falters.
- However, a subsequent recession and rising deficits could worsen the bond market due to increased supply.
Identifying Opportunities
- Look for breakouts, especially multi-year range expansions, as strong buy signals.
- Be wary of ETFs with overlapping securities and consider sector-specific plays like financials.
