El-Erian Says Bond Market Is Now More Consistent With Economy Evading 'Deep Recession'
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz's chief economic adviser, believes the bond market, with the U.S. 10 Year Treasury around 4%, is now more consistent with the economic outlook, suggesting the economy may avoid a deep recession. He previously indicated that a 2 Year Treasury Yield around 4% would make him more bullish on future stock market performance. The bond market is currently projecting a 62% chance of a rate cut in March. Meanwhile, SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) were slightly negative, while the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) was up slightly in Thursday's session.
