How best to safeguard your portfolio amid geopolitical risks
Israel has launched a retaliatory attack on Iran, but markets have shown a relatively muted reaction to the news. Carson Group Global Macro Strategist Sonu Varghese joins the Morning Brief to provide insights on how to navigate one's portfolio amid heightened geopolitical tensions. Varghese notes that the strike Israel launched was "smaller than expected," and although it initially weighed slightly on markets when first announced, stock futures are now trading flat on the news. However, Varghese emphasizes that these geopolitical tensions underscore the importance of maintaining "value in protection" when building investment portfolios. Varghese suggests that the key question to ask is: "Does this shift the macroeconomic regime that we are already in?" He explains that if the macroeconomic backdrop is already weak, "these sorts of geopolitical tensions add to that." Conversely, if the macroeconomic environment is strong, he does not believe that "geopolitical tensions will significantly exacerbate that."

TREASURIES-Yields rise near 5-month highs after jobless claims data; TIPS auction strong
U.S. Treasury yields hovered near their highest levels since November on Thursday as investors weighed steady labor market data and warnings from Federal Reserve officials that the decline in inflation may have stalled. Yields have jumped near five-month highs this week following stronger-than-expected inflation data last week. Markets are now pricing in a total of 42 basis points in interest rate cuts by the end of this year, down from more than 160 basis points in cuts expected in January, and now see the first cut coming in September, according to CME's FedWatch Tool.
