When Trump announced sweeping new tariffs, the headlines focused on politics and trade wars—but behind the scenes, the bond market was already reacting... and it didn't like what it saw.

In this episode, Karen Newton breaks down:

• Why the U.S. bond market holds more power than most people realize
• What the surge in Treasury yields really signaled
• How the market reaction forced a 90-day tariff pause
• What this all means for the economy—and for smart entrepreneurs navigating turbulent times

You'll also hear Karen’s current investment positioning and practical takeaways you can apply to your own wealth strategy.

Key Takeaways:

• The bond market signaled recession fears before the news cycle did
• Surging yields are more than numbers—they indicate rising borrowing costs and economic pressure
• Smart investors and entrepreneurs should monitor yield curve movements as a strategic advantage

Mentioned in This Episode:

• Yield curve spread (10Y vs 2Y) as a forecasting tool
• PCA (Pound Cost Averaging) in dividend shares
• Why bond markets often lead, not follow, economic news
