8 adviser fears for 2019
The interest rate yield curve, which graphs interest rates on government bonds, inverted on Dec. 3, meaning short-term interest rates are higher than longer-term rates. This can signal that investors are pessimistic about the economy, and advisers like Brian Jones, a financial planner with Nextgen Financial Advice, worry it's a sign a recession is coming. If the curve remains inverted in 2019, Mr. Jones worries it's going to drive a lot more volatility in the market and make investors feel more uncomfortable.
