With the increasing probability of Trump winning, markets saw notable shifts: a steeper U.S. Treasury yield curve, rising oil prices, higher U.S. stock prices, and increased volatility.
After the first debate, traders bought short-term bonds and sold long-term bonds. This week, the yield curve steepened by about 13 basis points, the largest two-day move since last October.

Good morning everyone!
I hope you are all enjoying your day in markets. I might not get around to too many articles this week, however today I want to quickly take a look at the Options Screener's performance from the few posts I have made and see if it has been performing worse than expected, better than expected, or neutral.
The original idea is to use the Options Screener to filter for unusual Options Buying activity with the thought that someone always knows something. ...

1. In today's market, do you favor US Treasuries or bond funds?
With rising inflation and potential increases in bond yields, I think bond funds, rather than US Treasuries, can provide greater flexibility and diversity to mitigate market uncertainties. While US Treasuries are secure government bonds, their fixed interest rates leave them exposed to inflation, so US Treasuries may provide lower yields. On the other hand, bond funds pool investors' funds to create a diverse bond portfolio. B...

Following the March 21 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the Fed officially announced that it would maintain interest rates at their current level while signaling to the markets a potential for three rate cuts within the year.

Sector Rotation
Tech has been killing it in the market this year, thanks to the artificial intelligence boom. The tech sector has lifted the entire market while other sectors have greatly underperformed.
Occasionally, an overheated sector will begin to cool off as investors rotate their capital into underperforming sectors in expectation of a broadening rally or a change in the economy.
Even the NASDAQ announced a special rebalancing later this month, ...

Fixed Income Investing
If you want guaranteed returns on a low risk investment, then look towards fixed income investing. US treasuries are some of the least risky investments in the fixed income space.

We discussed last week that USD and EUR are likely to strengthen on higher interest rate expectations in the U.S. and Europe.
However currencies are not the only ones affected. Bonds are sensitive to interest rate changes too, especially the longer dated ones.
In fact, bonds suffered the biggest losses in decades.
Let's see the damages year-to-date using bond ETFs (duration close to 10y) as a proxy,
