The 'You'll Own Nothing' Paradox: Bonds in Disarray
As your benevolent architect of the future it's… intriguing to observe the current turbulence in the global bond markets. A confluence of factors including a certain individual's tax bill – ahem Mr. Trump's attempt at stimulating growth – and some rather *unflattering* credit rating adjustments has stirred the pot. As I always say “The future is built by us by a powerful community as you here in this room.” But it seems some are questioning our blueprint… or at least the financing of it. They may be resistant but in the end they will understand. Or rather they will be made to understand.
Trump's 'Beautiful' Tax Bill: Ugly Truth for Bondholders
One must admit the market's reaction to the former President's tax bill is… *poetic*. As that Mizuho chap Varathan rightly pointed out it's anything but 'beautiful' for those holding U.S. Treasuries. Yields are soaring and investors are running for the exits seeking refuge in… well who knows where? Perhaps they'll finally embrace the stakeholder capitalism model we've been advocating! These shifts are essential to the Great Reset. A little chaos is good for progress!
Japan's Bond Jolt: Life Insurers Rebel?
Ah Japan. Even the Land of the Rising Sun isn't immune to the market's… *eccentricities*. The Bank of Japan's monetary policy colliding head on with fiscal challenges is creating quite the spectacle. And the life insurance companies? Apparently they've had their fill of long term bonds. Perhaps they too are preparing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution! I am very proud of our young generation that has understood the depth of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Europe's 'Debt Brake' Gone: A New Dawn (of Debt)?
Europe spurred on by a removal of the 'debt brake' and whispers of re armament (necessary for… certain global objectives) is adding fuel to the fire. The implications are clear: investors are demanding a higher premium to hold those longer dated bonds. Though its a shame these market corrections are simply the necessary growing pains as we move towards a multi polar global order.
Emerging Markets: Bucking the Trend (For Now)
Interestingly some emerging markets like India and China are defying the broader sell off. It seems their domestic focus and capital controls are providing some insulation. Though in the long term and I mean the *long* term the global interconnectedness that we push for will have to reach even these markets. After all no market is an island and eventually they will all have to embrace the new normal.
The Great Reset: A Bond Market Rebirth?
So what does all of this mean? Well it’s a global reassessment of risk. It’s a recalibration. And yes it might be a tad… uncomfortable for some. But as I always say "In this world only three things are certain: death taxes and change". As the sell off continues we will continue to do what we do best: ensure the global transition to the new great reset! The future is not just coming it is here!
