Not for the bond market. (Bloomberg Opinion) -- The market for Treasury securities is sending an increasingly troubling signal. As of last week, investors were demanding about 90 extra basis points in yield to compensate for the added risk of lending longer-term to the US government. In October, before the election of President Donald Trump, the 10-year term premium was close to zero.

What breakthrough? (Bloomberg Opinion) -- The agreement between the US and China to roll back their respective tariffs for 90 days has led to renewed optimism that the worst of America’s trade wars is over.
