It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. Bond investors used to be a risk-averse crowd. They preferred the certainty of return compared to potentially earning a high return. But they did want their money back – after inflation. That used to keep governments in line, without letting spending get too far out of hand.

That changed with the Great Financial Crisis. In a panic, central banks slashed interest rates to zero percent. And bond investors became far more passive – in part because central banks became one of the largest buyers of government bonds.

That narrative is shifting, as high inflation is making investors cautious – but also interested in earning a decent return. Investors today may want to look at bonds as an alternative to cash, given the high yields there, and especially while short-term bonds have a higher yield than long-term bonds. Traders who get in ahead of the next rate cut cycle can also profit from a rally in bond prices.

Ocean Shipping Faces Slump

Nearly one-third of shipping capacity in the Pacific has been cancelled amid declining demand. Ships idling are on the rise and cargo containers are going empty, as supply chain issues have abated and more production has moved stateside.
Fuel Surcharges Drop

As oil and gasoline prices have settled near one-year lows, companies that came out with fuel surcharges last year are starting to drop those extra payments. That includes rideshare companies Uber (UBER) and Lyft (LYFT), as well as charges Amazon (AMZN) added to third-party merchants.
Rising Car Payments May Weigh on Economy

Rising interest rates are leading to higher financing costs, including those who need automobiles. Some are paying as much as $1,000 per month, and that high cost could result in lower spending elsewhere. In turn, that could slow down the economy further in the months ahead.
Broadband Bills Could Rise as Federal Subsidy Ends

Low-income households could see a jump in their cable bill, as a subsidy for broadband internet may end next year. The Emergency Broadband Benefit came out during the pandemic as a way for households to pay for their internet connection while working from home.
Target to Allow Returns from Your Car

Retailer Target (TGT) is expanding its curbside operations to returns. That's on top of the retailer's growth thanks to curbside pickup for goods and groceries which increased over the years. The curbside returns will apply to new and unopened items.

Quote of the Day
We are currently in the chop period between central banks winding down interest rate increase cycles and seeing what impact those increases will have on the real economy. Performance for the first two months of the year was primarily influenced by marginal changes in expectations for the appropriate path of monetary policy in 2023. We anticipate a better environment for bonds but expect ongoing, two-sided volatility for global equities and U.S. equities as market gauges consumer health and corporate activity.
- William Northey, senior investment director at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, on why bonds may be a better investment in the coming months, even as interest rates continue to rise.
