The Current Price of Stocks and Commodities Moving in Tandem with Yields on Government Bonds, Fuels Volatility

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

Stocks, bond yields and commodities have continued to move in unison lately, with the S&P 500, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and U.S. crude oil moving in tandem in 9 of the previous 12 sessions.

As a result, many individuals and entities are heavily invested in all asset classes, setting the stage for a sudden unwinding of positions once correlations break down.

Notably, assets moving in unison are always at risk of falling to volatile levels and could result in repricing when correlations fall apart. Therefore, it is prudent that financial advisors reduce the size of their positions, or raise cash, in order to lessen client exposure to market swings.

The attorneys of Eccleston Law LLC represent investors and advisors nationwide in securities and employment matters.

If the regulators are after you, and are trying to make a case against you, and you are going to contest their allegations against you, make sure you have the best securities industry defense lawyers, Eccleston Law Firm. My case was spun into a combination of penalties including fines, cash settlements, CE courses and suspension. They were the best I have seen in action. When all was said and done, they had done their magic, my situation was negotiated and settled with a simple "letter of caution" and a case closed without action. It is the most important legal business decision you will ever make, make it Eccleston Law.
