Welcome to this Three Minute Talk™ for Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024. I’m Mark Scheffler, Senior Vice President and Senior Wealth Advisor for Johnson Financial Group.

The direction of rates is one of the powerful forces in our system, and it’s worth paying attention to.

Three Minute Trend Talk™ - Buckets of Opportunity
We've been saying for 20 years that it would be great to get back to a more normal and balanced market environment and away from the ultra low interest rates that were necessary following the attacks of 9/11 and the Great Recession of 2008. So the silver lining of this inflationary period is that the markets have reset to an environment in which fixed rate or what some might call “risk free” investing is now a much more viable path, at least for a while. And that's an important thing to consider because it means that we can really get back to a mo...

Three Minute Trend Talk™ - An Ounce of Prevention
In case you’re in a hurry, here are three things to know right now. First, the high-profile bank struggles of the past few weeks highlight just how important and interconnected every financial institution is. And since these are all social institutions, it makes sense that society – you and me and everyone else – take steps to protect depositors. Second, Appleton Group automatically converted most money market assets in managed accounts to assets backed by U.S. Treasuries. It’s worth mentioning again the double benefit of higher yields and increased security.  And third, you all know how much I love the w...

Three Minute Trend Talk™ - Go Big or Go Home
Wow, these are interesting times but in case you’re in a hurry here are three things you need to know: First, you’ve probably already heard the news that there was a major bank failure last Friday, the biggest since 2009 which is sending ripples through the banking sector and through the bond market. It’s a major concern, and the strategy adjustments we made over the past couple of weeks are really helping. Second, remember those great rates on Treasuries we talked about last week? They’re gone, following a two-day move in interest rates that should have taken tw...

Three Minute Trend Talk™ - Interest Rates on Tradable Money Markets Now at 15-Year Highs
As the Fed has raised rates, the interest paid on sweep money market funds has gone from next to nothing a year ago and to just under a half-percent per year right now. That’s a big move. But it’s nothing compared to the dramatic and relatively sudden increase in the rates on tradable money markets, which are now well above 4.0%.

Three Minute Trend Talk™ - CD and Short-Term Treasuries Are Seeing a LOT of Interest
I want to talk about one thing today and that’s a certain kind of investment (2 actually), that for the better part of 15 years had been a dead end. I’m talking about CDs and short-term treasuries. These vehicles are not a part of our flexible strategies since they’re designed to be held until maturity and shouldn’t. be actively bought and sold. But when the Fed started to raise rates early last year, rates shot up for all kinds of fixed income investments which finally makes them attractive for a lot of investors and savers. And right...

In case you’re in a hurry, here are three things to know right now. First, 2023 is off to a solid start for both the markets and our managed strategies across the board. That’s not surprising since markets had put in a floor back in early December and we’ve been invested more assertively since then. Second, last week’s blockbuster employment number was a real shocker – more than a half million jobs created last month despite massive planned layoffs in the tech sector. You’d think that’d be good news, but it’s not – it means that the Fed is go...

Three Minute Trend Talk™ - Best of Times, Worst of Times Part 3
In the first two episodes of my podcast in the new year of 2023, I laid out both an optimistic case and a pessimistic case for the markets, one for the bulls, and one for the bears. Now it’s time to lay out how we think investors should approach the coming year with both scenarios in-mind. Because here’s the important bit that needs to be said: it's VERY possible that BOTH scenarios unfold one after another.

To see just how unpredictable this year’s market has been, we only need to look at the unusual declines in inflation-protected treasuries (TIPS).

But through yesterday, a typical TIPS fund is DOWN more than 16% for the year. How? That doesn’t make sense. Or does it?
