Your chance to ask some searching questions on our upcoming article tomorrow. What gives with these markets?

I wonder what a weak Payroll number (June's released on Friday) might do to the chances of a September Fed rate cut? Bond yields are creeping lower in anticipation...meanwhile equities don't have a care in the world. This writing business. Overrated if you ask me. and Marcus Ashworth bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Central bankers are turning notably dovish...ECB is alive (at last) to disinflation = more rate cuts to come probably. Euro isn't listening as the need to hedge dollar exposure from investors who crammed into US assets remains overwhelming. Knotty one bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

We had a good shakedown of the problems facing the property market, none too cheerful.

Exorbitant Disprivilege is the ongoing legacy of not just the last government but increasingly this one too. Is the die cast for higher taxes and inevitably higher borrowing too? If bond markets know anything then...the gilt market is voting with its feet bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Interest rates need to fall...trouble is cutting overnight official rates ain't working how it used to...cos yield curves are voting with their steepening feeties. Marcus Ashworth - spend less and borrow shorter bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

It might not be Mag7 fervour but European stocks have a life of their own now...not something that could be said without a sideways glance last year. Marcus Ashworth bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Managing the economy doesn't just mean more spending, and more tax. So far the alleged brilliance upon taking office has escaped me - she's lost the room. writes Marcus Ashworth bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Being surprisingly nice about EU negotiatiors and other mysteries

Our wonderful regulators do so make the UK the must-come place to do fings like tech 'n finance. Our Rachel - needs a lesson in realpolitik as Bailey is world-class in blame avoidance - but she needs to win this battle bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

The UK pension triple lock isn't as generous for retirees or as burdensome on state finances as critics claim, argue @mbrookerhk and Marcus Ashworth. Maybe it should have a cap of say 5% on it - but these are not the droids you should be looking for. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Italy's spread over France is the lowest since before the GFC..what's that telling us...Italian magnificence reigns again like under the Medicis? Or...the core just ain't what it was? This is no time/reason to go in-at-the-top on Italy but it is a warning bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

The dynamic duo chew the cud again in a vibrant fashion

"I only drink Champagne when I'm happy, and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it—unless I'm thirsty," bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

When you look at a spread of two things it's important to look at both - not just the volatile riskier one but the underlying reference rate. Which ain't so much of a reference anymore sadly. The world order of debt is evolving. Marcus Ashworth bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
