Bonds Drop as Israel-Iran Strikes Raise Inflation Fears (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
US stocks have staged a modest rebound even as flaring tensions in the Middle East sent oil prices and bond yields higher. Futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.2% after a selloff in artificial intelligence stocks came to a halt. Bond traders are wagering that inflation figures this week will show the biggest surge in consumer prices in several years, adding to pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. Global bond markets have seen a profound shift since late February, when the US and Israel's attacks on Iran sparked a surge in oil prices, derailing bets that the central bank was poised to lower rates in 2026. Lindsay Rosner, Head of Multi-Sector Investing at Goldman Sachs Asset Management explains. (Source: Bloomberg)...

Korean Officials Are "Paying Close Attention" As Foreign Outflows Trigger Bond/Won Collapse
Unless you have been living under a rock, you'll know that South Korea's stock market has been rocketing higher on the back of the AI/Semi speculation as SK Hynix and Samsung have dominated (accounting for over 40% of the KOSPI market cap)...
But, as the following chart from Goldman Sachs shows, this surge in Korean stocks has been driven by domestic Retail investors as Foreign investors have fled that market en masse...
These outflows have sparked a collapse in the Korean Won (exacerbated by pressure some Asian currencies face as the Iran war drags on), now at its weakest versus the USDollar since 2009...
...and pushed yields for South Korean bonds to their highest in almost 3 years...
With all that in mind, Bloomberg reported earlier in the week that South Korean officials have intensified monitoring of the government bond market through daily phone calls and a private messaging group wit...

|
|
|
Bloomberg's Bruce Douglas discusses the recent developments in the private credit market, highlighting significant institutional activity. Pimco's purchase of $400 million in investment-grade private credit assets at a yield of approximately 6.5% signals renewed confidence.

Goldman Bond Trading Miss Outweighs Equity Record (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Bloomberg Intelligence Financials Analyst, Neil Sipes discusses Goldman Sachs' earnings out before the bell Monday.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. shares fell after the bank reported a surprise drop in bond-trading revenue, casting a shadow over what was another record quarter from the firm's equities team.
Fixed-income, currency and commodities revenue was $4.01 billion for the first quarter, according to a statement Monday. That was more than $800 million below the consensus of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg and 10% less than the same period last year.
The bank also warned investors that its backlog of fees decreased slightly compared to the previous quarter.
Shares of the company slumped 4.2% to $869.88 at 9:33 a.m. in New York, by far the biggest decline in the 24-company KBW Bank Index. The drop left the stock down 0.8% for the year.
