Markets Caught Between Tension and Relief

from The InvestSense Podcast Hosted by InvestSense

In this episode, we unpack a turbulent week in global markets as trade tensions, political uncertainty, and bond market volatility take centre stage. Key highlights include: Markets on edge: Equity markets recoiled early in the week amid escalating U.S.–China trade tensions and concerns over central bank independence, before staging a modest recovery. Yields on the move: U.S. 10-year Treasury yields surged past 4.4% before easing — a reflection of rising inflation fears and fragile investor sentiment. Australian yields followed a similar arc. Global outlook softens: The IMF downgraded growth forecasts, adding to the cautious mood. Investors are now watching for signs that trade disruptions and weak demand could deepen economic pressure.
