  • Is Investing in Treasury Bonds Still Low Risk? Bank of America Strategist Weighs In
    On WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-hosts Telis Demos and Gunjan Banerji start the show by explaining how financial trading platform Robinhood’s stock may tell investors what they need to know about the markets right now. They discuss how company’s CEO, Vlad Tenev, recently visited the White House to discuss “MAGA Accounts,” President Trump’s proposal for a new tax-preferred savings account for children. Plus, with the Federal Reserve’s next interest-rate decision coming this week, the hosts share how tariffs may play a role in the question of when to cut rates.  Later on the show, Meghan Swiber, senior U.S. rates strategist at Bank of America's investment banking arm BofA Securities, shares the latest happenings with the world’s largest bond market, the U.S. Treasury. Long-term Treasury bond yields have risen in recent months, raising concerns that U.S. or international investors are backing away from assets that are usually considered risk-free. She explains what’s going on, and how investors should think about volatility in what usually feels like a placid part of the market. This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.
