Banks are bracing for a recession as Treasury yields surge

Posted: 10/3/2023 By: news.google.com
  • The tough talk has dampened the year’s rally in stocks and reignited a dramatic selloff in the roughly $25 trillion Treasury market
  • “Right now, there is nothing standing in the way of higher Treasury yields,” Kathy Jones, chief fixed-income strategist at Schwab Center for Financial Research, told MarketWatch
  • Rising Treasury yields are upsetting financial markets
  • Higher yields on newly issued Treasury bonds erode the value of portfolios that include lower coupon debt issued when rates were lower
  • Banks also tend to hold large exposure to commercial property loans that could be difficult to refinance if rates stay higher for longer
  • Potential fallout from higher rates or a recession has been a focus at the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department
  • The Fed responded with an emergency lending facility for banks to tap for liquidity to prevent forced asset sales
  • The march higher in longer-dated Treasury yields has largely wiped out U.S. bond-market returns for the year.

Why we know so little about cannabis – and why scientists are worried

Posted: 10/3/2023 By: news.google.com
  • So why, given our long history with the drug, are there so many unanswered questions?Research into cannabis really only started in earnest two decades ago

  • Even in Canada, where recreational cannabis use has been legal since 2018, federal and provincial restrictions have encumbered research
  • That has people like Sultan worried
  • We don’t know what doses are appropriate, what their long-term effects are or even what people are consuming, he says
  • “In fact, we know the things they’re getting are not what the label says they are.
