Global Stocks Hold Gains as North Korea Response on Talks Soothes Nerves
Global stocks remained resilient Friday, despite growing geopolitical concerns following President Donald Trump's cancellation of a summit with North Korea, as investors were soothed by a measured response from Pyongyang and calming volatility in U.S. stock markets. Trump's decision to scrap the much-anticipated June 12 meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, as well as his recent moves on tariffs and criticism of ongoing trade talks with China, hasn't hit markets in a significant way this week, with the CBOE's key measure of equity volatility, the VIX index, falling to four-month lows and 10-year government bond yields holding around the 3% mark. An official response from Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan, which noted that North Korea was "highly appreciated President Trump for having made the bold decision, which any other U.S. presidents dared not, and made efforts for such a crucial event as the summit," and suggested talks could still place, provided markets with broader support Friday as investors head into a three-day weekend in the U.K. and the United States.

[$$] From Housing to Stocks, Rising U.S. Bond Yields Are Being Felt
This year’s rise in government-bond yields is rippling through the economy, affecting everything from mortgage rates to stock performance. Signs of steady economic growth and expectations for rising inflation have helped push the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note this year to its highest level since 2011, leaving U.S. government bonds paying more than the debt from other developed countries. Many investors believe those conditions will persist, with minutes from the Federal Reserve’s May 1-2 meeting showing that central-bank officials could allow inflation to overshoot their 2% target for some time.
