Episode Description from the Publisher

The US 30-year bond yield has broken through 5%. That might sound like a technicality, until you understand what it means for every other asset class on the planet. John Stopford unpacks why yields are on the move, what a flattening curve signals for growth, whether equity valuations can hold and why he is selling into strength. Hosted on Acast.
