U.S. Treasury Boosts Debt Buybacks, UAE Cuts Off Iran, MRNA & MRK Melanoma Trial Results
from Schwab Network · host Schwab Network
The U.S. Treasury is "at least" doubling debt buybacks for longer-dated nominal coupon securities, causing a surge in fixed income activity after yields hit highs not seen in years. Kevin Hincks explains why the headline is so significant for bonds and beyond. He turns to global movers tied to the U.S.-Iran war after the United Arab Emirates cut off trade with Iran. In equities, Kevin discusses the massive move in Moderna (MRNA) shares after it and Merck (MRK) announced positive phase 3 results for a melanoma vaccine. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
