Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Alix Steel Today’s Podcast Features are: Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist, discusses US Treasuries falling.

A correction can happen without a corresponding economic recession, and the majority of corrections don’t turn into more serious bear markets (which occur when the market drops 20% from its high.)
