But as President Donald Trump unleashes an assault on global trade, their status as the world’s safe haven is increasingly coming into question. Yields, especially on longer-term debt, have surged on the tariff announcements, raising fears that key foreign buyers could take their money elsewhere, in a form of buyers' strike.

Really enjoy listening to your podcast over the last several years thank you. Some feedback about the PG&E ads where it claims PG&E is listening to its customers and has some guy saying “it’s fair” is a a bit galling and maybe reflect on your show or shows that you’re using it in. Just thought I would chime in and never comment on things but I imagine I’m not alone and thinking it’s sort of important taste. And like I said galling is the best word I could think to describe it.

Way too much ads, content is ok
