While the Treasury has signaled plans to buy back more long-term bonds in an effort to ease yields, questions remain about how much influence those purchases can have over time. \nIn the latest episode of The Wealth Enterprise Briefing, Managing Partner Michael Zeuner and Senior Investment Manager Sam Sudame examine the forces behind the move in long-term yields and what they may mean for investors. \nThey discuss:\nWhy $40 trillion in federal debt has brought greater scrutiny to the 30-year Treasury market\nWhy Treasury efforts to lower long-term yields may have limited staying power\nHow capital needs in the U.S., Europe and Japan are increasing demand for money and pushing real yields higher\nHow fiscal concerns can affect both the dollar and the term premium on long-dated Treasuries\nWhat higher long-term rates may mean for duration, gold and international assets in a diversified portfolio\nMichael and Sam separate the constructive signals of capital investment and economic growth from the concerns reflected in the long end of the Treasury curve. If you have any questions about how interest rates, currency movements and international markets may affect your portfolio, please reach out to us. \nImportant Information:\nThe Wealth Enterprise Briefing contains our current opinions and commentary, which are subject to change without notice.
