423: The higher-for-longer reckoning

from L&G Talks Asset Management Hosted by L&G

Ben Bennett, Chief Investment Strategist for Asia, examines one of the market's biggest puzzles: why equity markets continue to shrug off rising bond yields, elevated oil prices and tightening financial conditions. Ben discusses what a surge in US Treasury yields above 5% could mean for investors, and whether markets are underestimating the risk of a renewed inflation shock. He also explores the growing competition for capital between governments and AI-related investment, the implications of record debt issuance, mounting fiscal pressures in Europe, and what a stronger US dollar may be signalling about the global economy.
