Bond yields are climbing — the U.S. 30-year is at its highest level since 2007 — and the market is sending a message about inflation, deficits, and trust. Jonathan Wellum, CFA (CEO & CIO, Rocklinc Investment Partners) joins Marc Patrone on News Talk Sauga 960 to break down what rising rates mean for Canadian investors: the tariff deadline with the U.S., why $1 trillion in capital has left Canada over the past decade, the pressure on the Canadian dollar, why central banks worldwide are stacking gold while the Bank of Canada holds zero, and the investment playbook when yields rise — short duration, essential and scarce businesses, hard assets, and caution on high-multiple tech.📖 Chapters ⏰
