As we all try to understand the connections of a volatile global economy, here are some articles from outside sources that I found interesting. I thought of some “Why” questions that have been on my mind and found writers who do a nice job of providing commentary:
Why is investing never easy? (Of Dollars and Data)
Why do politics, debt, and populism matter for the economy? (Byron Wien)
Why you might need to rethink your retirement math? (USA Today)
Why are bond yields around the world low, even negative? (Ed Yardeni)
Why is the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates? (Bloomberg News)
Why is an inverted yield curve important for the economy? (Research Affiliates)
