US vs EU Credit: No Yield Edge After Hedging

There’s little yield advantage between US and EU investment-grade bonds.

With high forward hedging costs, US credit offers limited appeal to European investors.

As a result, most flows are expected to stay within Europe.

After hedging, the yield differential is so small that cross-border returns would likely be negative.

BLS likely overstated 2024 job gains by 907,000

According to new data, the U.S. may have added far fewer jobs in 2024 than previously reported.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) originally said private payrolls grew 1.2% last year. But more accurate data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), which covers 97% of employers, shows growth was only 0.6%.

That’s a 907,000 job gap — or around 75,583 jobs overstated every month.

Elon Musk posted a cryptic message

While he didn’t explain, many believe it refers to his fallout with Donald Trump.

On Thursday, their feud turned public — with both trading jabs over social media and in the press. The immediate trigger was a budget bill Musk opposed, but deeper tensions had been building.

Still, U.S. media reports suggest both sides may now be looking to cool things down.

trading doesn’t just reveal your identity - it exposes who you are

your impatience
your need for control
your addiction to being right
your fear of being average

you’re not addicted to the market
you’re addicted to how it makes you feel about yourself when you win

and every time you lose
that fragile identity as a “winner” fractures a little more
