The mission is an initiative of the 16-nation Southern African Development Community (SADC), but it is unclear how it will be funded. Rwanda has been training and funding the M23 rebel group in eastern Congo, and the new mission puts SADC on the opposite side of the conflict. South Africa is sending 2,900 troops to Congo at a cost of $124 million, which will likely strain its already depleted coffers. SADC approached the European Union for funding but was rebuffed, and the US Congress is hesitant to support financial assistance for a SADC force. A major concern for the mission is a lack of adequate air cover, as South Africa's air force is underfunded and has limited resources. [Extracted from the article]

A Jupiter Asset Management fund has increased its holdings of US Treasury bonds to a record high and predicts that the US economy is heading for a hard landing. The fund manager, Harry Richards, believes that the Federal Reserve may cut its benchmark interest rate by up to four percentage points during the upcoming easing cycle. Jupiter's outlook for rate cuts is more aggressive than the market as a whole, with swaps traders currently only expecting about 175 basis points of easing over the next two years. Richards also favors government bonds from South Korea and Australia, but is avoiding Japanese government debt due to interest rate divergence. [Extracted from the article]

South Africa is leading a regional force called Operation Thiba that is being deployed into eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The mission aims to replace a United Nations force and an East African Community deployment that have been unable to stabilize the region. However, this deployment risks putting South Africa on the opposite side of the conflict from Rwanda, which has been accused of supporting rebel groups in eastern Congo. The operation will also strain South Africa's finances, as it is already contributing troops to a force fighting militants in Mozambique. The funding for Operation Thiba is unclear, and SADC has approached the European Union for funding but was rebuffed. The US Congress is also hesitant to provide financial support. Additionally, there are concerns about the lack of adequate air cover for the SADC forces due to underfunding of South Africa's air force. [Extracted from the article]

The credit markets have experienced a significant decline at the start of 2024, resulting in the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars in value. The combined value of high-grade and junk markets has decreased by $240 billion to $13.6 trillion, the lowest since December 13. This decline has been exacerbated by the rebalancing of bonds underlying the indexes at the end of last month. Credit-default swap indexes have also seen an increase in spreads, indicating higher credit risk. The reversal of the optimistic sentiment from late 2023 is due to central bankers' reluctance to cut interest rates and concerns about a potential wider conflict in the Middle East. The widening gap between global high-grade bond yields and sovereign debt further highlights doubts about rate cuts. The issuance of new corporate bonds is adding pressure to the market, as portfolio managers may have to sell old bonds to buy new ones. Despite the recent decline, the credit market's value is still higher than it was in late October. The market is expected to remain volatile until central banks confirm expectations of rate cuts.

The credit markets have experienced a significant decline at the start of 2024, resulting in the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars in value. The combined value of high-grade and junk markets has decreased by $240 billion, erasing all gains made since December 13. Credit-default swap indexes have also risen to levels last seen in early December. This reversal of fortune follows the optimism of late 2023, when interest-rate cuts and economic growth were anticipated. However, central bankers are now hesitant to cut rates due to inflation concerns and the potential for a wider conflict in the Middle East. The market is expected to remain volatile until central banks confirm rate cuts. [Extracted from the article]

The US House of Representatives has passed a bill that would require TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a ban in the US due to concerns about national security risks and data security. The bill gives ByteDance six months to sell TikTok to a US or friendly country-based company. TikTok has been working with US-based tech company Oracle to address concerns about data protection. However, the bill still needs to pass in the Senate, and privacy experts argue that banning TikTok alone would not solve the larger issue of data privacy. The bill also raises concerns about censorship and the impact on other American tech companies. The Senate's slow legislative process may result in the bill not passing. [Extracted from the article]

California plans to sell $2.6 billion of bonds next week, despite the state's budget deficit. The high demand for these tax-exempt bonds is driven by investors looking to shield their income from California's high taxes and lock in yields before anticipated rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. California's bond deals can sell at yields lower than AAA-rated benchmark muni securities, indicating a strong market demand. The sale includes debt to fund various capital projects and will be underwritten by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. The budget deficit and potential tax increases at the state and federal levels are factors that investors are willing to overlook in favor of tax-advantaged investments. [Extracted from the article]
