Ideas
Ira Jersey Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist 11:42
30-year yield could hit 5.5%
The market distrusts Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's communication and will demand higher yields to compensate for inflation risk. With core PCE still above 3%, the lack of clear reaction function will push long-end Treasury yields significantly higher, with the 30-year potentially reaching 5.5% and the 10-year near 5%, tightening financial conditions and slowing housing.
30-Year US Treasury Yield 10-year US Treasury yield HIGH
Edmund Reese CFO, Aon 25:04
AI data center insurance tailwind for Aon
AI data center buildout is creating a massive insurance demand that traditional carriers cannot meet alone. Aon is positioned to connect this risk with alternative capital from institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, and private equity, providing a multi-year tailwind for Aon's growth.

Brian Niccol CEO, Starbucks 43:19
Store uplift driving transactions and growth
Starbucks' low-cost store uplift program (around $50k per store, no closures) is improving customer and partner experience, driving higher transactions and comps. The company is seeing better throughput all day and is accelerating the program into 2027 because of the positive results.
