FREDERICA ABAN/iStock via Getty Images Modest Quarter/Great Year Moderate positive total returns across the investment grade bond universe in the fourth quarter capped a year of strong overall returns in 2025 amidst a heightened backdrop of uncertainty. Despite plenty of intra-year volatility, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (Agg) managed to post positive total returns for each quarter of 2025. Since the debacle that was 2022, which marked the worst annual return the Agg experienced since its 1976 inception at -13.01%, the three-year annualized return for the Agg is now a respectable 4.66%. The five-year annualized total return, which includes that historic 2022, remains slightly negative at -0.36%. Longer term returns also remain challenged, with 10-year annualized and 20-year annualized returns of 2.01% and 3.25%, respectively. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) starved the market of a normal income component over those longer term time frames. Hopefully ZIRP remains a distant memory, and never again a multi-year monetary policy setting. The fourth-quarter total return of 1.10% for the Agg was actually the lowest quarterly return for the 2025 calendar year, while the full year return of 7.30% was the best since 2020 (7.51%). Looking back over the previous 30 years, the median total return for the Agg was 4.79%. So in the context of that backdrop, 2025 was an excellent year for the investment grade bond market. The government shutdown that lasted for essentially the first half of 4Q suppressed volatility in the rates market, given the lack of fundamental data inputs that normally flow from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau, and many other government agencies. Trading ranges declined dramatically across the yield curve, with two-year, five-year and ten-year benchmark Treasury yields staying within a 20 to 24 basis point (bps) range. That was considerably less than the 45 to 65 bps ranges seen over the prior qu...

mustafaU Global markets are “struggling to price where the risks are” amid the ongoing Iran War, according to Nick Nelson, head of global equity strategy at Absolute Strategy Research. In an interview with CNBC, Nelson said the uncertainty surrounding the conflict makes it “very, very difficult for markets to react,” as investors grapple with questions about the war’s duration, its damage to the global economy, and its effects on growth, inflation, and equities. Before the conflict erupted, the U.S. economy showed remarkably strong fundamentals. Nelson noted that profit growth was running at nearly 15% year-on-year and was “broadening out” beyond the technology sector ( VGT ), ( XLK ), ( IYW ). “From an equity market perspective, the fundamentals are pretty robust,” he said, but added that “when you have this external shock and when you have this uncertainty,” those fundamentals become overshadowed by geopolitical concerns. The current trading environment reveals a direct correlation between equity prices and oil markets, with the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) essentially tracking the inverse of Brent crude prices ( CL1:COM ) on a day-to-day basis. However, Nelson emphasized that what appears to be a simple risk-off move is actually more nuanced. “Winners have become losers, and losers have become winners,” he explained, pointing to the fact that traditionally defensive sectors like consumer staples, health care, and telecoms have underperformed during this pullback. The U.S. has emerged as a relative safe haven, transitioning from the worst-performing major market before the conflict to broadly the best-performing one since hostilities began. Nelson attributed this shift to several factors: the dollar’s ( DXY ) strength, the country’s status as a net energy exporter unlike Europe and Asia, and its position as a large, liquid market where investors can “repatriate assets” during turbulent times. While concerns have emerged about distress in private markets—particularly around s...

Crédit Mutuel Chairman Daniel Baal said a rapid acceleration in price is the biggest risk for European banks from the Iran war. “We have total uncertainty right now regarding the extent and duration of the conflict,” Baal said at Bloomberg’s Future of Finance event in Paris on Thursday. “So for us, the main concern that I’m identifying at the moment is that of a new inflationary shock, and rate developments that are not really in favor of banking activity.” The surge in energy costs triggered by the conflict in the Middle East has created widespread concerns about rising prices. The European Central Bank may end up raising interest rates sooner than anticipated, Governing Council member Peter Kazimir said earlier this week. Read More: ECB Hike Potentially Closer Than Thought, Kazimir Says European banking stocks have been hit by the uncertainty and are largely down this year to date. During the event on Thursday, Baal appealed to the European Union to make progress on integrating financial services as one way to deal with the fresh challenge to the region. He also suggested that new banking regulation known as Basel 3 should be relaxed to support the industry. “A major part of the savings collected in Europe is redirected to the US, €300 billion in European savings, flee to the US,” he said. “Conversely, we can see that the many large French corporates or European corporates are financed by American banks.” That’s “because we’re in a context of competition that is distorted in a way, European banks have constraints, especially strong equity constraints related to an almost complete application of Basel 3” unlike banks in the UK and the US, he said.

U.S. consumer prices rose moderately in February, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.3% for the month, according to data released by the U.S. Labor Department. The reading, which left the annual inflation rate steady at 2.4%, suggests inflation remained contained before the surge in oil and gasoline prices (following the recent U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran) began to weigh on consumer prices. With inflation still above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target but potentially shifting amid the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, attention is turning to the consumer discretionary sector, including Amazon AMZN and The Home Depot HD, as well as the ETFs that hold them. Before discussing the specifics of these ETFs, it is important to examine how recent economic data, along with geopolitical developments that are frequently shifting the narrative, may influence consumer spending and, in turn, the consumer discretionary sector. When prices rise, the key question is not just whether consumers can spend, but whether they will continue to prioritize non-essential purchases. Decoding the Data: CPI, Retail Sales and Consumer Resilience The connection between the latest CPI data and consumer spending, particularly for discretionary items, is crucial. The February inflation report showed that core inflation (excluding food and energy) remained contained, rising just 0.3% for the month. This stability in prices for many goods, outside of shelter and food, helped support consumer purchasing power. This is reinforced by the CNBC/NRF Retail Monitor’s February data, released by the National Retail Federation (NRF) that showed another month of sales growth. Total retail sales rose 0.28% sequentially and witnessed a robust 6.24% increase year over year. Key discretionary categories performed well, with clothing and accessories stores surging 11.05% year over year, and general merchandise stores up 7.77%. NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay attributed this growth to "continued wage gai...

Neither of the two Pakistan internationals in the women's auction were bought on Wednesday, after which coaches of Hundred teams linked to IPL franchises told BBC Sport they had not been instructed to avoid Pakistan players. There are 13 Pakistan players in the men's auction after pace bowler Shaheen Afridi withdrew. None of Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan or Saim Ayub attracted bids when they were made available for sale on Thursday morning, though they could re-enter the auction later in the day. Spinner Usman Tariq, a star of the recent T20 World Cup, was the subject of bids from Birmingham Phoenix and Trent Rockets - two franchises not affiliated to the IPL. Tariq was eventually bought by Phoenix for £140,000. In the final sale of the morning, Abrar received bids from Sunrisers and the Rockets after entering at a base price of £75,000. After securing Abrar's signature, Sunrisers posted on X: "Abrar at Headingley, soon." The auctions are the latest stage in the revamp of the Hundred after the sales of stakes in the eight teams last year. Collectively, the franchises are investing just over £7m in salaries each year in the women's competition, and more the £16m per year in the men's tournament. For some owners, entry into the Hundred is a further boost to their portfolio of teams in franchise leagues across the world, while all investors are looking for a return on their outlay through commercial deals, ticket sales and TV rights.

The war in Iran means the U.S. military will need to restock its ammunition – and that could be a positive catalyst for shares of missile suppliers Lockheed Martin and RTX , according to Bernstein. The U.S. has exchanged missiles and drone strikes with the Islamic Republic since late February, burning through $5.6 billion worth of ammunition in just the first two days of the conflict, The Hill reported , citing a congressional source familiar with the matter. That outsized spending is likely to continue as the Trump administration gives mixed messages about its timeline and objectives in Iran, and is likely to translate into more business for missile manufacturers, according to Bernstein. "Heavy usage of U.S. tactical weapons and [Gulf Cooperation Council]/Israeli usage of interceptors have led to the need for urgent restocking," Bernstein analyst Douglas Harned said Wednesday in a note to clients. "In any scenario, munitions restocking means upward pressure" on both companies' share price. Defense executives met at the White House last Friday to discuss ramping up weapons production. The meeting fueled expectations that several defense contractors could soon win additional federal contracts to rebuild ammunition supplies. Before last week's discussions, Lockheed Martin and RTX had already talked with U.S. lawmakers about ammunition supplies, suggesting the pair could top the list of firms poised to clinch government contracts due to the war, according to Bernstein. "We expect this meeting to cement transition of production frameworks at RTX and Lockheed Martin to actual contracts," the investment firm's analysts wrote. RTX, which makes the Patriot Air and Missile Defense System, has gained 62% over the past year, while Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, is ahead 37% in just three months. Caveat Iran is already showing signs that its attack capabilities are "effectively destroyed," Bernstein analysts noted. Iran...

Senegal has paid coupons and principal on its foreign bonds ahead of this Friday’s deadline, avoiding a potential default as the nation seeks aid from the International Monetary Fund, people familiar with the situation said. The West African country’s central bank transferred €380 million ($438 million) to the holders of its 2028 euro-denominated notes last Friday, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing the payment details. It also paid $33 million on dollar notes maturing in 2048, they said. Officials in Dakar, the capital, describe the March 13 payments issue as “closed,” one of the people added. At least four bondholders said they are aware that the authorities have made the payment and are waiting for the funds to show up in their accounts by the end of this week. The transfers are done via custodian banks, which usually means there’s a slight delay, one of the holders said. Spokespeople at Senegal’s finance ministry and central bank declined to comment. The coupon payment comes as the government in Dakar seeks to restart IMF aid, suspended after the discovery in 2024 of about $7 billion in previously undisclosed debt — including about $5 billion in external loans — which were accumulated by the previous administration. Senegal has relied on funding from a regional market for West African nations to gain the financing to service its foreign-currency bonds. Read More: Senegal Secures Funding to Cover Eurobond Payments Due March Senegal is Africa’s riskiest sovereign credit, with its dollar bond yields trading more than 12 percentage points over comparable US Treasuries, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. index . The 2028 euro-denominated bond traded around 69 cents on the euro on Thursday, down about 10 cents from this week’s high after the coupon payment was made.

Concerns have been raised about the capacity of Scotland’s fire service to deal with large fires like the one that gutted a Victorian office block in Glasgow as it emerged that the city’s only remaining fire engine with a high-reach ladder was unavailable on Sunday.

Concerns have been raised about the capacity of Scotland’s fire service to deal with large fires like the one that gutted a Victorian office block in Glasgow as it emerged that the city’s only remaining fire engine with a high-reach ladder was unavailable on Sunday. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that, while standard city-based fire engines were on the scene within minutes of the first 999 call, the nearest available high-reach appliance – which adds vital additional capacity to tackle a large blaze – came from Coatbridge, an 18km, 26-minute drive away in light traffic. The Guardian understands that, after cuts in 2023 that reduced the number of high-reach fire engines across Scotland from 26 to 16, there is now only one stationed around Glasgow city centre, at Maryhill, with another in the nearby town of Johnstone. On Sunday, there were two other significant fires in the east end of Glasgow and also in Dumfries, and a hazardous materials incident in Edinburgh, where that vehicle may have been deployed before the Union Street fire was called in. Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar challenged first minister John Swinney over these cuts at FMQs, saying: “We don’t know right now what difference the reduction in fire service capacity would have made on Sunday. “We need an immediate investigation into any potential impact this may have had on the response so that lessons can be urgently learned”. Standard fire engines were initially mobilised from three stations in or very near Glasgow city centre – Calton, Cowcaddens and Maryhill – with the earliest arriving five minutes after the first emergency call. Further appliances came from Springburn and Polmadie, outer suburbs of the city, and Bellshill, a town 10 miles south east of the city centre. After a request for further support, the first high-reach appliance was mobilised from Coatbridge, 13 miles and 26 minutes away in light traffic, with further high-reach appliances based in Greenock (25 miles), Kilma...

panumas nikomkai T.D. Cowen initiated coverage on several networking stocks and gave Buy ratings to Arista Networks ( ANET ), Coherent ( COHR ) and Ciena ( CIEN ), while initiating Lumentum Holdings ( LITE ) at Hold. "We view Arista as likely to emerge as the preferred vendor of choice for Ethernet-based scale-out and scale-across switching based on its strong foundational software and hardware design IP," said T.D. Cowen analysts, led by Sean O'Loughlin, in an investor note. "Multi-tenant LLM inference serving is not for the faint of heart—Arista's data-driven networking platform is excellently positioned to enable the next-gen AI data center." Arista also received a $170 price target. "In our view, one of the most misunderstood aspects of Arista is its low-level hardware differentiation, and the use of merchant silicon should not be interpreted as a lack of hardware superiority," O'Loughlin added. "Beyond the obvious point that switch silicon is just one component of a larger switch system, we highlight the deep hardware/software co-design that has led to two of the strongest proponents of open-source networking (Microsoft and Meta) to be Arista's largest customers for the last 10+ years." Meanwhile, Coherent received a $330 price target as it remains a key beneficiary of AI infrastructure demands due to 800G/1.6T adoptions and CPO/OCS for scaling up. "A key element to Coherent's business model, in our view, is the marriage of legacy Finisar's transceiver business with legacy Coherent's laser business--vertically integrating a key differentiating component of the optical transceiver," O'Loughlin noted. "Importantly, Coherent does not sell its lasers externally--they are consumed by its own transceiver business, which is then supplemented by external sources from suppliers such as Lumentum. We prefer this business model, as we believe it should largely alleviate concerns regarding the potential impact of laser capacity overbuild, as Coherent would likely simply sto...

David Papazian/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction It’s been an uncertain last few months for the US home building industry. While the most recent new home sales have held up , margins and returns have been under pressure, and industry CEOs have been citing affordability constraints , elevated sales incentives, and consumer confidence as issues. And that’s all before the impact of the events in the Arabian Gulf, with gas prices rising and consumer sentiment likely to flounder further. The risk of political interference is a further complication, with even talk of stock buybacks being banned until affordability improves. Dream Finders Homes ( DFH ) has not been shielded from these challenges, with recently reported 4q25 results demonstrating margin pressure and reduced return on equity. More positively, the order book is holding up, with new orders up 9% compared to 4q24. In my view, the company’s strategy, discussed below, is perfectly legitimate. My enthusiasm for the stock is tempered, however, by what I believe is a somewhat unwarranted premium valuation, even after a sustained period of relative decline in the stock compared to other publicly traded peers. In the context of choppy sector conditions likely to persist for some time, this is not one of my preferred names, and so I rate the stock a hold. A little background first Dream Finders Homes was founded by CEO Patrick Zalupski in 2008 and came public in January 2021. The founder owns or controls around 61% of the shares as of early March this year . From the beginning as a public company, the company’s own press releases have emphasized that its business model revolves around being asset-light. In its early years of being publicly-traded, the stock enjoyed a premium multiple of tangible book value compared to peers, as this comparison with D.R. Horton ( DHI ) and Taylor Morrison Home Corporation ( TMHC ) illustrates: Dream Finders historic Price/Tangible Book Value (Koyfin) This is likely to have bee...
