The Big Market Report Take
Looks like the bond market's getting a bit twitchy about inflation again, and it's not just about the usual suspects. Strong jobs numbers and geopolitical jitters are adding to the headache, especially for those trying to stretch their retirement dollars. Not exactly a surprise, but certainly not ideal.
