Investors are now tasked with trying to understand where bond yields go next, and what the drivers of those yields would be. Forget about the technical charts, he says — they are not driving the bond market right now. While Fed policy has consequences for the bond market, investors drive the yield, Johnson said. That means trying to predict where bond yields will settle will be very hard. But fear in the stock market could translate to greed in the bond market as investors flee to safety.

☆ Analysis: Sharp drop in equity premium may mark return of 60/40 portfolio

The thinning spread between returns from stocks and bonds is set to bring the 60/40 portfolio strategy back in favor. The Fed's move to tighten monetary policy at the fastest pace in decades pumped up bond yields after nearly two years of near-zero interest rates. On the other hand, "during a recession, yields will fall and Treasury bond prices will rise," said Roberts. While the economic downturn would hit stock returns, drop in bond yields should provide some relief in such a scenario, according to analysts. "For me, the best risk-reward portfolio in this environment for now is long duration Treasury bonds, and deep value, dividend equities," Roberts said.

NEW YORK, March 1 (Reuters) - Investors reeling from the recent volatility in global financial markets are eyeing another potential worry: a rebounding dollar. MSCI’s index for emerging market stocks (.MSCIEF) has slipped 8% from its January highs, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Currency Index (.MIEM00000CUS) is down 3% from its early February high.

Jay Howard Leve discovered that people were much less likely to hang up on telephone pollsters if they heard a familiar, trusted voice. Jay H. Leve pioneered a novel type of polling technology in the early 1990s by combining automated phone calls with the recorded voices of local television anchors. Mr. Leve, the founder of SurveyUSA, discovered that people were much less likely to hang up if they heard a familiar, trusted voice and were promised they could hear the poll results that night on the TV news.

Some investors worry the dollar trade has become excessively crowded, raising the risk of a sharp unwind if the case for owning the currency changes and investors try to exit their positions all at once. International Monetary Market speculators held a net long U.S. dollar position of $10.23 billion for the week ended Sept. 20. Barring a brief period of peak pandemic-related uncertainty, broad net options positioning data going back to 2014 shows U.S. dollar long positions are the most stretched ever, according to Morgan Stanley. While a hotter-than-expected u.s. inflation report in August dashed those hopes and sent the dollar higher, the dangers stemming from the crowded dollar trade have only grown, investors said. But with the dollar scaling new multi-decade highs, positioning for a pullback can be painful.
