Writing’s on the wall for the bond market – for those who can read it

There is a good deal more to the rapid rise in bond yields around the world, not least in Asia, than meets the eye. It suggests a recognition by financial markets that governments are spending beyond their means, tax revenues and borrowing power. The implication is that either taxes need to rise or public spending needs to fall, or alternatively that financial markets, stock markets in particular, must shift their priorities away from glamour stocks in the tech and artificial intelligence (AI)..

New study shows world pouplation could halve as early as 2064, how would you invest in times of population decline?

We invest because in the long run, stocks only go up. But a lot of this growth comes from a non stop growing world population. What happens if this trend reverses? Global population forecasts have already adapted to more conservative growth projections for the short/mid term future. A new math based study even finds a worst case scenario where the world's population could halve by 2064. This scenario assumes a major global crisis, for example due to climate change or another major pandemic. http

US man asserts if simple teacher and China farmer can grow a forest, world leaders can find peace

A retired American teacher is planning to travel to China in late summer for a reunion with a female farmer he assisted decades ago. In 1999, Ronald Sakolsky, then teaching English in China, was inspired by Inner Mongolian farmer Yin Yuzhen’s battle against desertification and donated US$5,000 to support her tree-planting efforts in the Maowusu Desert. This contribution enabled Yin to plant some of her earliest trees, sowing the seeds of a lasting friendship across continents. Recently, the two.

Hong Kong to curb flavoured tobacco in next phase of controls: health chief

Hong Kong authorities will crack down on flavoured tobacco substances in the next phase of its enhanced smoking control measures, with the health minister describing such products as a “poisoned chalice” designed to hook younger people.

Good Morning! Unfortunately, I'm not an expert on this topic, but I wanted to ask if someone could give me some food for thought here.

I'm using Wise at the moment, but I'm not really happy with it because it's not a "real" bank. What could I possibly consider?

Does it even make sense to run a building savings contract?

So I looked in the portal and I have two building savings contracts running. (Why ever 2, does that make any sense other than double the fee?) One is designed for up to 100k, of which you'll probably save 40k yourself, then a 60k loan at a fixed interest rate of 1.25%. Now that doesn't sound so bad per se. The other one is designed up to 36k, so I don't know exactly what the interest rate will be. The problem is that I don't actually plan on buying an apartment. I live in my own apartment in my house
