A Left-Tail Moment for U.S. Bonds? How to Safely Go Long on Treasuries
Recently, global bond markets have seen massive sell-offs, pushing the yield on the $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$ note to around 4.7%, the highest since April 2023. Since mid-September, the 10-year Treasury yield has surged by over 100 basis points in an almost uninterrupted climb.This trend mirrors the situations in 2022 and 2023, when global equity markets experienced significant declines. However, in this latest round of rising bond yields, equities have only seen mild adjustments. This could suggest that if yields continue to rise, the equity markets may face further downside risks.Goldman Sachs strategist Christian Mueller-Glissmann and his team highlighted in a recent report that the correlation between stock and bond yields has t

The recent rebound in Tencent's ( $TENCENT(00700)$ ) stock, driven by the company's share repurchase program, might appear tempting at first glance. However, the implications of being added to the U.S. Department of Defense's 1260H list should not be underestimated. While Tencent is currently not on the Commerce Department's sanctions list, the possibility of it happening in the future could lead to severe consequences. Being placed on the Commerce Department's sanctions list would mean U.S. companies would need export licenses to engage with Tencent, significantly limiting its access to crucial American technology and software. This could disrupt supply chains, increase operational costs, and potentially hinder technological innovation at Tence
