This is not the first trading session where sovereign bond yields and oil prices have decoupled. In fact, it is happening with greater frequency—a reminder that: • The protracted surge in yields is driven by forces far beyond energy markets; and 1 of 2.

Sheila Blair: ‘With its September rate decision, the Fed is correcting for its past misjudgments. In 2022, it was too hesitant to raise rates, despite persistent inflation, and in 2024, it was too quick to lower them with inflation still above target.’ www.ft.com/content/4339...

For once, the Fed has put Main Street before Wall Street
Rather than criticising the central bank’s rate increase, Republicans should be praising Warsh for putting American families first

Pepsi flagged higher prices this week. The 2021 to 2022 pattern is repeating, where companies raised prices despite flattish volumes. What looked like a one-off tied to the Iran war two months ago now looks structural. Companies are already telling markets they are raising prices into 2027.

Markets have punished the prudent lately. Prudence here means diversification across asset classes and among equities, rebalancing along the way to keep exposures in line. On a lookback basis, bonds have dragged on returns for a decade. Is this changing? New newsletter, free to read/subscribe.

Investors who have shunned diversification face maybe the best buying opportunity for bonds in decades
No diversification needed: The 10-year total return stocks minus bonds is near the highest in history.

Billy Joel releases “The Stranger” 49 years ago today. “I remember thinking, 'it needs some sort of introduction,’” Joel recalled. I played one for Phil [Ramone, the album's producer] “and whistled along.” “I said, 'What instrument do you think should do that?' Phil said, 'You just did it.'”

Mesabi executives have leaned on a Trump-world insider as the company has sought to expand its footprint in the United States. The company hired Jason Miller, a longtime Trump adviser, as its lobbyist, paying him at least $240,000 through his company SHW Partners, according to lobbying disclosure records. The government of India also hired Mr. Miller’s company, paying $150,000 per month for “strategic counsel, tactical planning and government relations assistance on policy matters before the U.S. government,” according to federal filings under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.
