Clouds Are Forming Over The Bond Market

FYI: The bond market is flashing warning signals that bad times may be ahead for the stock market and the economy.

That is probably not what most people want to hear — stock investors especially. In the first half of the year, after all, stocks have performed spectacularly. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index returned 9 percent through June, churning out gains so regularly that it may seem churlish to note that clouds are appearing on the horizon.

Yet like a long-range forecast about a possible storm, an old and trusted financial indicator is telling us that trouble may be looming.

  • Hi guys!
    Seems to me.....another poo-poo article. The journalist must have had a deadline to make. As the song goes: "Everybody wants some. I want some too; everybody needs some. I need some too." Look around the world (i.e., in bonds). Why would you not be here? Could it be....maybe.....that's the answer.
    Just saying...
    God bless
