Our Chief Fixed Income Strategist Vishy Tirupattur explains why credit markets have held firm amid macro volatility, and the scenarios which could hurt its strong foundation.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I am Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist. Today, I will talk about why credit markets have been resilient even as other markets have been volatile – and market implications going forward. It's Tuesday, March 18th, at 11 am in New York. Market sentiment has shifted quickly from post-election euphoria and animal spirits to increasingly growing concern about downside risks to the U.S. economy, driven by ongoing policy uncertainty and a spate of uninspiring soft data. However, signaling from different markets has not been uniform. For example, after reaching an all-time high just a few weeks ago, the S&P 500 index has given up all of its gains since the election and then some. Treasury yields have also yo-yoed, from a 40-basis points selloff to a 60+ basis points rally. Yet in the middle of this volatility in equities and rates, credit markets have barely budged. In other words, credit has been a low beta asset class so far. This resilience which resonates with our long-standing constructive view on credit has strong underpinnings. We had expected that many of the supporting factors from 2024 would continue – such as solid credit fundamentals, strong investor demand driven by elevated overall yields rather than the level of spreads. While we expected the economic growth in 2025 to slow somewhat, to about 2 per cent, we thought that would still be a robust level for credit investors. These expectations have largely played out until recently. While we maintain our overall positive stance on credit, some of the factors contributing to its resilience are changing, calling the persistence of credit's low beta into question. While we did anticipate that sequencing and severity of policy would be key drivers of the economy and markets in 2025, growth constraining policies, especially tariffs, have come in faster and broader than what we had penciled in. Incorporating these policy signals, our U.S. economists have marked down real GDP growth to 1.5 per cent in 2025 and 1.2 per cent in 2026. From a credit perspective, we would highlight that our economists are not calling for a recession. Their growth expectations still leave us in territory we would deem credit friendly, although edging towards the bottom of our comfort zone. On the positive side of the ledger, cooling growth may also temper animal spirits and continue to constrain corporate debt supply, keeping market technicals supportive. Also, while treasury yields have rallied, overall yields are still at levels that sustain demand from yield-motivated buyers. That said, if growth concerns intensify from these levels, with weakness in soft data spreading notably to hard data, the probability of markets assigning above-average recession probabilities will increase. This could challenge credit's low beta, that has prevailed so far, and the credit beta could increase on further drawdowns in risk assets. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore the potential link between scoliosis and the immune system. While scoliosis is primarily a structural condition affecting the spine, emerging research suggests there may be indirect connections between scoliosis, inflammation, muscle remodeling, and immune function. Dr. Nalda breaks down these complex relationships and explains why addressing scoliosis proactively is key to supporting overall health and wellness. Key Topics Covered: ✅ Understanding Scoliosis – What makes scoliosis a 3D spinal condition, and why it tends to progress over time. ✅ How the Immune System Works – Your body's defense mechanism against infections, viruses, and disease. ✅ Is There a Direct Link Between Scoliosis and Immunity? – Current research on potential connections, particularly in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. ✅ Inflammation, Stress & Cortisol – How the physical and emotional stress of scoliosis may contribute to inflammation and affect immune health. ✅ Muscle Remodeling & Immune Cells – The relationship between scoliosis-related muscle changes and immune system response. ✅ Proactive Treatment Approach – Why structurally addressing scoliosis is essential, regardless of its underlying cause, to minimize its impact on overall health. Key Takeaways: ➡️ While no conclusive direct link exists between scoliosis and immune system dysfunction, research suggests inflammation, muscle remodeling, and stress may create indirect connections. ➡️ Scoliosis is multifactorial, meaning its causes vary widely, and the condition can impact the body beyond just the spine. ➡️ Proactive scoliosis treatment helps reduce spinal curvature, improve body function, and may indirectly support a healthier immune response.

Many of us are faced with some type of failure in our lives. It's the lessons we gain from those failures that can be beneficial in our lives. Failures can help strengthen our faith by forcing us to rely more deeply on God. It can also help us to make better choices when faced with a similar situation. We can also acknowledge our own limitations and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit during challenging times.

US equity markets were again weaker on Monday, investors worried that tariff policy uncertainty would tip the economy into a recession, something President Donald Trump did not rule out over the weekend in an interview. 'Risk-off' sentiment can definitely be seen in US market trading. The Dow fell 890 points or -2.08%, the 30-stock index dragged down by Nvidia, Goldman Sachs and Apple, down -5.07%, 5%, and 4.85% respectively.Canada's next prime minister, former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, took aim at President Trump in his victory speech. "There's someone who's trying to weaken our economy: Donald Trump," he said. Carney won with leadership of the Canadian Liberal party with 86% of the vote. He will be sworn in as the country's new prime minister in the coming days. He said he will seek new trading partnerships with "reliable partners." Carney has also vowed to maintain retaliatory tariffs "until the Americans show us respect."  

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice start today's show discussing a New York Times article which details a phone conversation between Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump, during which it is seriously suggested by the Americans that the two countries revise the boundary that separates them. Trump wants access to our resources, including water and critical minerals. Let's call this what it is: an old fashioned imperialist attempt by a superior power to exploit and extract resources from a weaker country. Coupled with the constant threat of tariffs, Trump's long term plan is to weaken us and then annex us. Janice and Rudyard agree: we are at economic war and this is a defining moment for our country. It's time to reorganize, embrace our national pride, and not let this crisis go to waste. To support the Friday Focus podcast consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt.

Edition No106 | 06-03-2025 - It is a move that Victoria Nuland could not have dreamed of in her wildest and most expansive fantasies, that the US could have enough raw power and influence, and the twisted will to deploy those, to effect regime change in Ukraine. But it seems that this is the plan. But this time it is not being done in the name of stability or democracy, but to directly benefit Vladimir Putin, one of the worst dictators seen in recent history, who is directly conflict in the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of his own people, never mind all of Ukraine's losses. Let's set the background. We are all familiar with the ambush in the oval office, and the orchestrated humiliated of Zelenskyy in the full glare of the world's media. What some people have been paying less attention to is the constant repetition of Russian talking points, not only by Trump and Vance, but also by Tulsi Gabbard, Cash Patel, Rubio and many others. “Peace is not Zelenskyy's priority”, Gabbard says. “President Zelenskyy has different aims in mind.” What dark lies she is hinting at, we can only guess. The Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard sharply criticized Zelenskyy's leadership of his country. Of course, they always position President Donald Trump as “working to end Russia's war”, but all the evidence of his actions suggest that all his efforts are focused on helping Russia to gain advantage on the battlefields and in the so-called negotiations. “President Trump is committed to peace and to freedom,” Gabbard told Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.” “We're seeing this big divergence here between his position, his commitment to these values and the interests of the American people and the interests of President Zelenskyy and these European leaders.” Black is white. Up is down. Day is night. Apparently, Europe is fighting for dictatorship and violence – that is her implication. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------LINKS:https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/02/gabbard-blames-zelenskyy-ukraine-relationship-00206879https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-allies-secret-talks-volodymyr-zelenskyy-opposition-ukraine-elections-yulia-tymoshenko-petro-poroshenko/https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/03/6/7501527/----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

In this thought-provoking bonus episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd is joined by renowned Austrian economist Bob Murphy to tackle one of the most debated libertarian slogans: "End the Fed." They delve into the fundamental Austrian critiques of central banking, including inflation, boom-bust cycles, and the impact of fiat currency on economic stability. Bob offers a masterclass on the role of the Federal Reserve in perpetuating these issues and explores practical proposals for transitioning away from central banking.The discussion takes a sharp turn into current debates within libertarian circles. Jacob and Bob address criticisms from figures like Tom Luongo, who argue that dismantling the Fed could empower globalist financial systems. They weigh the risks of centralization versus the potential benefits of free-market alternatives, emphasizing the need for a decentralized monetary system. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in Austrian economics, libertarian strategy, and the future of monetary policy.

In this episode, Jim talks about the habit of some deponents of qualifying their answers by using words like think, feel, believe, and presume. These words are known in academic and psychological circles as "linguistic hedges." They're common and harmless in social conversations. But in the unforgiving world of sworn testimony, they create a record suggesting witnesses don't know what they're talking about. Not only do hedges diminish the force of testimony, but they can render it entirely inadmissible. In the wrap-up, Jim provides specific practice strategies for impressing upon clients that the lax and incautious use of hedges can inflict grievous harm on their claims or defenses. He also explains how to train clients to avoid using hedges when testifying.SHOW NOTESStrategic Use Of (UN)certainty Expressions, Lorson, Cummins and Rohde, Frontiers in Communications, Mar. 18, 2021, https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/communication/articles/10.3389/fcomm.2021.635156/fullThe Use of Hedging in Research Articles on Applied Linguistics, Livytska, I., Journal of Language and Cultural Education (July 2019), https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/jolace-2019-0003Hedging and Academic Writing: An Analysis of Lexical Hedges, Demir, C., Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 14(4) (2018), https://www.jlls.org/index.php/jlls/article/view/812Linguistic Hedging In The Light Of Politeness Theory, Vlasyan, G., European Proceedings of Social and Behavioural Sciences (2018), https://www.europeanproceedings.com/article/10.15405/epsbs.2018.04.02.98A Study of Hedges in Courtroom Oral Arguments from the Perspective of Contextual Adaption, Chen and Zhang, International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Publications, https://ijmrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IJMRAP-V4N8P114Y22.pdfHedging in Courtroom Discourse, Lebedeva and Gribanova, http://ial-journal.org/en/node/53Middleton v.

Join The Rebuilt Man community on Skool - https://www.skool.com/therebuiltman/about   In episode 129 of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich discusses the insidious ways pornography is used as a weapon to weaken men, destroy families, and undermine society. He outlines seven key impacts of pornography, including the destruction of masculine purpose, the rewiring of the male brain, the epidemic of loneliness, the exploitation of women, and the diversion from faith. Frank emphasizes the importance of community and support in overcoming these challenges and reclaiming one's purpose and integrity.   Takeaways Pornography is a subtle weapon used to weaken men.   It destroys masculine purpose and ambition.   Porn creates false expectations about intimacy.   It rewires the brain's reward system, leading to addiction.   Weakened willpower affects all areas of life.   Loneliness and isolation are fueled by pornography.   Pornography objectifies women and promotes exploitation.   It distracts from spiritual focus and purpose.   Community support is crucial for recovery.   Men must reclaim their purpose to lead society.
