Stocks, oil and ten year bonds: why I'm scratching my head
Posted on 16:52 by nice news
For much of this year, whenever I've glanced at financial market prices, I've been left feeling more than a little confused.
There are three key numbers which I've often used as a shorthand way to understand what is happening in the global economy. And at the moment, they aren't behaving as I'm used to.
Those three indicators are the price of oil, the yield (or interest rate) on US government ten year bonds and the level of the S&P 500 - the key index of the US stock market.
Now, of course, this is an imprecise way of examining the health of the global economy.
But as a quick guide to what is happening at any given moment, these numbers have usually served me well.
The three numbers all tell us something different.
