The beginning of 2025 is marked by two events of great importance for investors: the wobble of bond markets and the rise to power of President Donald Trump.
It’s fitting in a market that many believe could go in either direction in the coming year, that investors are trying to unravel whether both are a sign of future trouble or an opportunity to be seized.
