A strange phenomenon is emerging in the bond market

Futures and commodities broker Carley Garner stopped by the Action Alerts PLUS investing club to explain the strange phenomenon developing in the traditionally inverse relationship between stocks and bonds. Related: Like it or not, a wave of Treasury short-term debt issuance is comingFULL VIDEO TRANSCRIPT BELOW: J.D. DURKIN: OK. Let me ask you about bond yields here. The 10 year of, course in, particular, been such a focus for the last several weeks and months. Let's talk about the relationship between stocks and bonds for our members. Typically, bonds go down, stocks go up, or vice versa. Is this still a pattern to expect? Or are we kind of in this whole new world where maybe it's a little more difficult to try and figure out how some of these typical metrics play themselves out? CARLEY GARNER: Right. Well, that's exactly what they taught us in finance 101 while we were in college, right? Stocks up, bonds down. And in this particular situation, we're seeing the exact opposite. I ran the stats over the last 90 days, and the US 10 year note Treasury future versus the S&P 500 future has settled in the same direction about 90%, 92% of the time over the last 90 days. So not only are they not negatively correlated, but they're highly positively correlated. And what this tells me is a lot of that weakness that we saw in stocks over the last month or so was really just an interest rate story. Higher interest rates spooked investors and caused various reactions in the marketplace. But if interest rates have stabilized or bottomed, as I think they probably have-- if treasuries have stabilized or bottomed, interest rates topped, I think that we're in an entirely different environment. And I think both asset classes can climb higher as we go into the next couple of months, and maybe even quite a bit longer than that.

*'Dupe travel' is all over TikTok (here's how you can use it to fly on the cheap)*

In the beauty and fashion world, a "dupe" is a term used to describe a cheaper generic product that is very similar to an expensive designer one β€” a $20 black dress that mirrors the viral $100 Skims lounge dress popularized by Kim Kardashian or a drugstore mascara that provides a similar look to the one achieved by a $60 one from Dior CHDRF or Shiseido SSDOF. Over the last few months, the word "dupe" has also started seeping into the realm of travel. In its annual joint travel trends report for 2023, Expedia Group EXPE, Booking BKNG and Hotels.com named "destination dupes" as one of the crazes drawing in travelers at the moment.Related: Major U.S. Airline Makes a Big Bet On Popular Vacation Destination Unlike the usual interest in "hidden gems" and off-the-beaten path places, the term refers to cities that are similar in style to a more popular (and, subsequently, more expensive) destination β€” Palermo in Italy for those who like the Portuguese capital of Lisbon and Taipei in Taiwan instead of the much larger Seoul in South Korea. @wanderlustwest Episode 4 | Travel Dupes Santorini is beautiful and all but tbh the crowds make it unbearable even in off season. Try early October in Paros - you wont be disappointed. #paros #parosgreece #traveltipsgreece

*Billionaire makes several bold claims about Elon Musk's Tesla*

Billionaire Tesla investor Ron Baron continues to be bullish on Tesla, and he's got a few reasons why. Baron, who is the CEO and chairman of Baron Capital and has been investing in Tesla since 2014, gave his thoughts about Tesla on NBC's Squawk Box on Friday. He said that what sets Tesla apart from the rest of the growing pack of automobile companies looking to tap into the electric vehicle market is that Tesla's data and technology allows it to be efficient with its costs. "[Tesla] can't possibly be matched by anyone else. They have data, technology, they make cars cheaper than [the rest,]" Baron said. "When Ford makes one of these cars, every car they make, they lose $36,000 on ... Our company now makes about $8,000 or $9,000 of profit a car."Related: Tesla stock jumped 6%, but not for why you think Baron also added that Tesla gets about 100 million miles a day which will only improve its technology versus the rest of the competition. When asked about the slowdown in demand of the total electric vehicle space the country, Baron cited that he still expects all cars to become electric down the line. However, the pace has slowed for a few reasons: quality, price, and the dealers. "The reason there's not more demand is that cars that are out there are not very attractive and they're expensive," Baron said. "In addition, the dealers who sell them, they don't want to sell them because there's nothing to service. The dealers make all their money on servicing." Baron was also asked about Tesla's market in China and whether he sees that market as key for the company moving forward. The billionaire did not give a direct response on the business growth in the country, instead saying that the relationship between Musk and China is strong with a purpose that goes beyond Tesla's sales in the market.Related: Top investors defend Tesla bull case after stock slides on HSBC report "The idea is that China invited Musk in and invited him in because the Chinese car companies have done very poorly for a long time, and the promise was that he is going to help become better car manufacturers β€” he's not trying to take over the market in China β€” and develop a local supply chain," Baron said. "I think the relations they have with China are exceptionally good. Both people are getting something from it. I think that that business will continue to grow." Baron then cited Tesla's looming Model 2 launch which he expects will be good for markets like China and in making EVs more accessible for the masses. "Wait until you see what's going to happen when all of a sudden they start selling cars instead of for $40,000 apiece for $25,000 apiece, which is going to happen in about a year, year and a half from their new model," Baron said. "The new model, they think, is going to do 5 million cars a year for the Model 2. That's coming." Get investment guidance from trusted portfolio managers without the management fees.

*Technical bounce is happening in crude oil, but here's when to get bullish*

In this sneak peek from the Action Alerts PLUS investing club, futures and commodities broker Carley Garner broke down her outlook for oil. Related: Good news for bulls - Here's how the S&P 500 could soar to 4,700FULL VIDEO TRANSCRIPT BELOW: J.D. DURKIN: Brent crude futures hitting their lowest level since at least August this week. Do you expect that downturn, specifically, and a bit of that downward pressure to continue? CARLEY GARNER: When oil started to rally on news of violence in the Middle East, it failed to break above 95. And I knew then that this market was probably in trouble. The market was just too long in the 90s. Speculators were buying on the news. And then they ended up selling on the fact, which is generally what happens. Often, when you get violence in the Middle East that causes a crude oil rally, speculators are disappointed, because usually the supply disruptions that the markets are pricing in don't materialize. And then we get liquidation of that trade. And so often, the price of crude oil is often lower at the end of the news cycle than it was in the beginning, which is ironic, because just from a fundamental standpoint, that's probably not how most people would expect it to work. But that's how it works more often than not. The numbers we had coming into the last week or two as support were 76, which we surpassed yesterday. Our next number is about 72, 71. I do think we see the low 70s. So if you're bullish, maybe exercise a little patience. We're getting a little bit of a technical bounce here over the last couple of days, but my best guess is that's not going to last. Seasonally, crude oil generally trades lower from mid-October through mid to late December. So I'm not in any hurry to get bullish, but I do think once we do get into the 70s, it's probably a good value play. J.D. DURKIN: Absolutely. Brent's at 81.10 as we're currently having this conversation. We'll track it very closely.

*FDA may ban key ingredient found in many popular junk foods*

Many of us know that familiar feeling. You're out to dinner, enjoying a meal with friends or family, and decide to go for the indulgent option. Maybe it's a burger and soda. Maybe you splurge for the dessert. Maybe you just get the really big salad. Related: Sweetgreen makes a key ingredient change that will affect most orders But a nagging voice in the back of your head pulls at you once you've been served: What exactly is in that food? For those of us who follow nutritional labels religiously and strive to shop only the cleanest peripheries of the grocery aisle, this can take the fun out of dining out. Many foods get either tossed or severely restricted from our list; take one look at many of the dietary fads in recent years and it's easy to see that plenty of Americans are on board with at least one strain of elimination dieting. Gluten free, dairy free, low protein, vegan, vegetarian, plant-based, carnivore diet, keto, paleo β€” there's a lot of camps to attach yourself to. But even if you don't have a diet tribe, you have probably at least heard of the increasing panic around seed or vegetable oils and the potential harm associated with them. These oils β€” which include canola, soy, or sunflower oil β€” typically contain high concentrations of Omega 6 fatty acids, which can lead to inflammation.FDA makes a key proposal And now, the FDA has made a proposal as it relates to one substrate: brominated vegetable oil (BVO). BVO is a vegetable oil that has been chemically modified to carry Bromide β€” a reddish brown chemical with a bleach-like odor. Industrially, it's used for things like pesticides, insecticides, dyes, and drugs. But in foods, it's suspected it may actually present toxic side effects. A sign for the Food And Drug Administration is seen outside of the headquarters on July 20, 2020 in White Oak, Md. (Photo by Sarah Silbiger/Getty Images) Sarah Silbiger/Getty Images So on Nov. 2, the FDA proposed banning the use of BVO in food. The substance isn't as popular nowadays but may be used as a preservative in orange and citrus-based drinks. It had been listed as "Generally Recognized As Safe," in 1970 but has been used since the 1920s. "The FDA is issuing a proposed rule now because the agency has recent data from studies it conducted that demonstrate adverse health effects in animals at levels more closely approximating real-world human exposure," the FDA wrote in its proposal. "Based on these data and remaining unresolved safety questions, the FDA can no longer conclude that the use of BVO in food is safe. Results from these studies show bioaccumulation of bromine and toxic effects on the thyroid – a gland that produces hormones that play a key role in regulating blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, metabolism and the reaction of the body to other hormones." Concerned customers can check the labels on their foods or beverages for the presence of BVO to be safe. But, the FDA says, most companies stopped using BVO a long time ago. "Over the years, many beverage makers have reformulated their products to replace BVO with an alternative ingredient. Today, few beverages in the U.S. contain BVO. Consumers who wish to avoid products that contain brominated vegetable oil may do so by looking for it by name in the ingredients list," the FDA writes. If the proposal is finalized, BVO will no longer be acceptable as a regulated additive to food or beverages. The FDA is accepting comments on its proposed rule until January 17, 2024.
