Rising bond yields have thrown cold water on the major averages, but a few winners may emerge even if rates remain elevated. These developments have spurred worries that the Fed policymakers could keep rates higher for longer. Bond prices and yields are inversely related, which means that as yields rise, bond prices will fall. Generally, insurers benefit when interest rates rise , since their investment portfolios will generate more yield. Shares of both real estate investment trusts, which specialize in communications services, could take a hit as higher rates make their dividends less attractive.

☆ Oil markets will face 'serious problems' as demand from China and India ramps up, IEF secretary general says
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-22 | by ( Charmaine Jacob | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Oil prices are expected to increase in the second half of 2023, according to the International Energy Forum. Oil prices are set to rise in the second half of the year as supply struggles to meet demand, according to the Secretary General of the International Energy Forum. McMonigle attributes the push in oil prices to increasing demand from China — the world's largest importer of crude oil — and India. "India and China combined will make up 2 million barrels a day of demand pick-up in the second half of this year," the Secretary General said. Asked if oil prices could once again spike to $100 a barrel, he noted that prices are already at $80 per barrel and could potentially go higher from here.

LONDON, July 7 (Reuters) - Unsure which way the cookie crumbles from here - investors are being tempted to drop the bond. The broadest measures of government and corporate bonds have just stuck in mud. Two-year government bond yields are soaring. With June U.S. jobs growth going up yet another gear, U.S. Treasury yields hit 16-year highs above 5%, German equivalents hit their highest in 15 years and British gilt yields scaled 2008 peaks. For all but longer-term pension and insurance funds or banks, bonds may be neither fish nor fowl for a while to come.

☆ Analysis: OPEC+ in driver's seat as oil supply growth lags demand
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-04 | by ( Alex Lawler | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

U.S. shale oil drillers over the last two decades helped to turn the United States into the world's largest producer. OPEC has this year been lowering its U.S. shale oil output forecast, having also done so in 2022. OPEC trims shale forecastsAn OPEC+ source, asked if OPEC+ is in the driver's seat when it comes to the oil market now, said: "We are not in the passenger seat". LACK OF INVESTMENTOPEC sources have cited a lack of sufficient investment to increase supply as likely to support prices this year. Demand growth is expected to exceed non-OPEC supply growthThe International Energy Agency, which represents 31 countries including top consumer the United States, also expects demand growth to exceed supply growth, although to a smaller extent than OPEC.

It's the end of a wild first quarter for stock and bond investors, and ETF flows are reflecting that turmoil. The good news: Despite big market swings , equity and bond ETFs still saw overall inflows in the first quarter. ETF flows year to date: $70 billion inflows Consisting of: Equity: $24 billion inflows Fixed Income: $43 billion inflows Other (currency, etc. ): $3 billion inflows Source: ETF Store While that is still inflow, it is far less than has been typical in recent years. Much of that uncertainty can be seen in a notable pickup in money going into money market funds, traditionally a safe haven asset.

☆ How ETFs are expediting bond market modernization
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-08 | by ( Kevin Schmidt | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Despite equities having long transitioned to electronic trading, over-the-counter trading remains common in the bond market. Bond ETFs are changing that. "Bond ETFs are 20 years old today, and they trade the same way as some of the technologies in fixed income." Roughly a decade after equity ETFs were first introduced, the first four bond funds launched in July 2002 — the iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Fund (SHY) , the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Fund (IEF) , the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) and the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) . "And it just sounds really familiar to the way ETFs had grown with the equity markets."

☆ Buy these ETFs if you believe the Fed will pivot to a slower tightening pace

That means that market rates could fall, even if the Fed continues to hike for the next few months. Bond yields move opposite of price, so the ETFs should go up in value. There are several large ETFs on the market focused on Treasurys, including the iShares' 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) and 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) . Similarly, Vanguard offers the Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF (VGIT) , which has a fee of just 0.04%. Corporate bonds carry more risk than Treasurys, but should rally if Treasury yields fall.
