CIO Silverman urges muni bond extension as 10-year yields near 5%

Oct 26, 2026

The Fox Business segment features CIO Mike Silverman discussing current market conditions with host Jack. Topics include persistent inflation at 3.7% year-over-year, the upcoming Federal Reserve rate decision, rising oil prices driven primarily by refining capacity shortages rather than solely Middle East tensions or Ukraine, and the positive economic role of data-center construction. Silverman advises investors to extend duration in municipal bonds now that yields have risen, highlighting attractive after-tax returns especially for residents of high-tax states like California or New York. The conversation also covers the challenges of the Fed's single tool of rate hikes amid deficits and geopolitics, equity market resilience tied to earnings growth, and the wealth effect boosting upper-income spending.

S&P 500 hits records as under 48% of stocks top 200-day average

Oct 11, 2026

The segment features Schwab Chief Investment Strategist Liz Ann Sonders discussing the upcoming week of major earnings, CPI, and PPI releases and their potential impact on October Fed decisions. Sonders highlights "bad breadth" or "halitosis" in the market, with the cap-weighted S&P 500 performing well on mega-cap AI/tech leadership while most stocks lag, including fewer than half above their 200-day moving average and a record share with negative beta. The conversation shifts to diverging stock-bond correlations, labeling the current environment a return to the volatile "Temperamental Era" of the late 1960s-1990s driven by inflation swings, contrasting it with the stable "Great Moderation." Sonders advises favoring high-quality equities with strong balance sheets and investment-grade bonds over high-yield in the current rising-yield setting. Sourcing relies on Sonders' real-time analysis and referenced charts (e.g., data center construction up sharply while total construction declines), with no anonymous sources or external guests. The throughline emphasizes separating signal from noise amid concentrated leadership and the need for creative asset allocation beyond the traditional 60/40 portfolio.

Bond sell-off pushes US 10-year yields near 5% amid Iran war and deficits

Sep 2, 2026

The DW News segment examines a global bond market sell-off, with rising government bond yields pressuring debt-heavy economies. It covers the mechanics of borrowing via bonds, recent interventions by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent doubling long-dated buybacks, and President Trump's remarks suggesting military power as an "ultimate intervention."

The discussion highlights challenges for Europe in balancing defense spending against social programs as cheap borrowing ends.

Shein debuts on Hong Kong exchange at $26 billion valuation after Western setbacks

Sep 1, 2026

The segment covers Shein's September 1, 2026, listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the first day of trading after years of delays. It notes the share price opened at HK$48.56, fell initially, and attributes the lower-than-expected valuation to challenges sustaining ultra-low prices amid regulatory and competitive pressures. The report outlines Shein's pandemic-era growth, failed attempts to list in New York and London due to labor and environmental concerns, accusations of forced labor (which the company denies), its environmental initiatives, and the shift to Hong Kong as the remaining viable option.

Bessent Dismisses Recent Bond Volatility as 'Noise,' Predicts Decline on Fiscal Moves

Aug 20, 2026

In a brief Bloomberg clip, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to recent volatility in U.S. Treasuries by stating that any movement within a 24-hour period is 'noise.' He expressed confidence that once markets recognize the administration's focus on fiscal consolidation and restoring equilibrium in a thinly traded market, bond yields will continue to decline. Bessent also addressed a same-day spike in oil prices, which he said he did not fully understand, attributing it to non-economic factors and predicting that forthcoming economic actions would bring prices down sooner. The segment relies on Bessent's direct comments without named independent experts or on-screen graphics showing yield curves or deficit projections. It references the prior day's Treasury announcement expanding long-dated debt buybacks but provides no deeper sourcing on fiscal plans or oil-market drivers.
