How much stimulus is too much?

Tuesday 12th January 2020Bond yields continue to rise In the US as markets prepare for an expected multi-trillion dollar stimulus package from the President-elect.

Phil Dobbie asks NAB’s Gavin Friend whether political uncertainty is behind any of these moves, including a fall in equities, admittedly from record highs on Friday.

Maybe the issue will go away when Donald Trump leaves the White House.
