• How's that bond market doing today?

  A recent and rapid rise in bond yields has sapped some life from the stock market. Julia Coronado, president and founder of MacroPolicy Perspectives, said that things are more stable at the start of this week. “We’re opening the week in a calmer mood,” Coronado said. She also said money is headed back into the stock market. “Everything is relative.
