Ten Thousand Words - June 2019


Bond yields are in focus as the RBA cuts rates and speculation that the Federal Reserve will do the same increases. We get a look at the German 10-year bond and how its decline into negative yield mirrors the same event in 2016; a convergence between the US 10-year bond yield and the market's dividend yield; while Deutsche Bank says half the US market is choosing index funds now and Goldman Sachs' number crunchers show Australia's "growth" stocks are the world's most expensive. We like the chart from AKRO investiční společnost showing how banks have improved their capital position since the financial crisis; and finally we view hard evidence that software is where investment dollars are increasingly being spent.
