The Threat of Rising Bond Yields in European and American Bond Markets
Bond yields are the interest rates that investors receive when they lend money to governments or corporations. Bond yields have been rising steadily in recent months, both in Europe and the United States. This is due to a number of factors, including the Federal Reserve’s plans to raise interest rates and concerns about inflation.
Rising bond yields can have a number of negative consequences for investors and businesses. For investors, rising bond yields can lead to losses on existing bond holdings. For businesses, rising bond yields can make it more expensive to borrow money.
This article will explore the threat of rising bond yields in European and American bond markets in more detail. It will also discuss some of the risk management actions that investors and businesses can take to protect themselves from this threat.
Why are bond yields rising?
There are a number of reasons why bond yields are rising in European and American bond markets. One reason is the Federal Reserve’s plans to raise interest rates. The Federal Reserve raises interest rates in an effort to combat inflation. When interest rates rise, the cost of borrowing money increases. This can lead to a decrease in demand for bonds, which can cause bond yields to rise.
Another reason for rising bond yields is concerns about inflation. Inflation is the rate at which prices for goods and services are rising. When inflation is high, investors demand higher returns on their investments to compensate for the loss of purchasing power. This can lead to an increase in bond yields.
What are the risks of rising bond yields?
Rising bond yields can have a number of negative consequences for investors and businesses.
For investors, rising bond yields can lead to losses on existing bond holdings. When bond yields rise, the prices of existing bonds fall. This is because investors can buy new bonds with higher yields, which makes older bonds with lower yields less attractive.
For businesses, rising bond yields can make it more expensive to borrow money. Businesses often borrow money to finance growth and investment. When bond yields rise, the cost of borrowing money increases. This can make it more difficult for businesses to finance their growth and investment plans.
What can investors and businesses do to protect themselves from the threat of rising bond yields?
There are a number of risk management actions that investors and businesses can take to protect themselves from the threat of rising bond yields.
Investors
Investors can protect themselves from the threat of rising bond yields by diversifying their portfolios and investing in shorter-term bonds.
Diversification means investing in a variety of different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, Bitcoin and property. By diversifying their portfolios, investors can reduce their overall risk.
Investing in shorter-term bonds can also help investors to protect themselves from rising bond yields. Shorter-term bonds have less interest rate risk than longer-term bonds. This is because shorter-term bonds are more likely to mature before interest rates rise significantly.
Businesses
Businesses can protect themselves from the threat of rising bond yields by hedging their interest rate risk and borrowing money at fixed interest rates.
Hedging interest rate risk involves using financial instruments to offset the risk of changes in interest rates. There are a number of different hedging instruments available, such as interest rate swaps and options.
Borrowing money at fixed interest rates can also help businesses to protect themselves from rising bond yields. When businesses borrow money at fixed interest rates, they lock in the interest rate for the life of the loan. This protects them from the risk of rising interest rates during the term of the loan.
Conclusion
Rising bond yields can have a number of negative consequences for investors and businesses. However, there are a number of risk management actions that investors and businesses can take to protect themselves from this threat.
Investors can protect themselves from the threat of rising bond yields by diversifying their portfolios and investing in shorter-term bonds. Businesses can protect themselves from the threat of rising bond yields by hedging their interest rate risk and borrowing money at fixed interest rates.
I urge investors and business leaders to take risk management action to protect themselves from the threat of rising bond yields. By taking action now, you can minimise the potential impact of rising bond yields on your investments and your business.

Develop your business leadership skills with BusinessRiskTV
The importance of leadership in business is either underestimated or played down. Your team or business functions will operate in line with the inspiration you create or fail to create. Zombie businesses can survive in most business climates, but few will thrive in the business marketplace without good leadership, either from the top, or from middle managers who pick up the baton where the actual leaders have dropped it.
However a great business needs a great visionary. Most visionary’s are made not born. That’s the good news! The bad news is that few business leaders seek to create a vision for their business that everyone else can buy into.
Whats worse is that few businesses invest sufficiently in developing future business leaders
There are many reasons for this. For some businesses, existing business leaders fear training those below them in case they walk away from the business to competitors or to become a new competitor business.
One way to overcome this fear is to share the rewards developing leaders bring to the business and not be too greedy over short term spoils of new business generated and instead look to the long term benefit of fairly rewarding key business team members.
All hugely successful organisations and businesses need effective leaders
To become a great business leader requires much more than technical business skills that say accountants and lawyers may have. Great business leaders have bundles of emotional intelligence to bring in everybody into improve business performance not just the Board.
Top business leaders are not always brilliant business managers. You can be an amazing business manager, but may never be a business leader. Often great business leaders are not in management positions. Their talent is wasted cause they never get into a position to fully express themselves for the benefit of the business as a whole and themselves.
How do you find the business leaders in your business and bring business leaders together to focus on sustainable business growth?
Enterprise risk management methodology will help in this regard. Many SMEs and large businesses can benefit from developing the leaders who will guide us to a better future.
A look at the business news headlines in most week’s will reveal examples of bad business leadership. W need to help educate business leaders better to reduce frequency of bad business events and increase the occurrence and size of business successes. How we get there does not matter too much, but too often we don’t.

How To Improve Productivity In The Workplace In UK
For the UK to sustainably increase wages meet the needs of an aging population and develop business growth it needs to increase productivity by 25 percent just to match the productivity of German workers in recent times.
German workers have the same output in 4 days that it takes UK workers 5 days to produce, according to the UK Chancellor Philip Hammond in is Autumn Statement on the UK performance to date.

Improving Productivity In The Workplace
Increasing output for every hour of input
To improve productivity, the UK needs to produce more from every effort put into a business or enterprise. The UK government needs to play its part including boosting internet broadband availability and speeds, improving road rail and air transportation, as well as increase spending on other infrastructure improvements. However every business needs to work out what it needs to do to get more output from the same resources.
Poor sales growth domestically and internationally, reliance on cheap particularly foreign workers(most of UKs new jobs created over recent year have been foreign workers), and a lack of investment in training of employees is a big part of the UK Plcs poor productivity. Another significant part is the lack of engagement of existing assets the existing workforce. Business enterprise leaders have not involved the whole workforce in business decision-making. Every business has talented workers who know how to solve business problems and improve productivity but business leaders have not taken a holistic approach to productivity improvement. Where a business has poor productivity it is because not everyone is on the some bus to achieve a common destination. The solution is to engage the workforce more in business decision making process.
How do you improve your business productivity
The public sector also needs to do more with less, in an age of austerity. The UK needs to somehow get more out of every available resource invested in public services.
BusinessRiskTV will help you get everyone on the same bus!
BusinessRiskTV will use business enterprise risk management tools and techniques to engage your workforce to improve business productivity and overall performance.

Are You an entrepreneur of business leader who is procrastinating or fearful of the future
The UK has the skills and ability to be greater than it is right now
Don’t listen to the doom-mongers! The UK has more opportunities to grow faster than it has had in front of it for decades. Don’t look back at today and think, “I wish I had seized the day”. The time for waiting is over. Today will be the past and your great historic past is for the making now!
Business Leaders Need To Cut Their Cloth Accordingly
Are there huge economic uncertainties just now?
Of course! When haven’t there been significant uncertainties for business? However, should we wait before investing time and money in our future? Absolutely not! This is the time for sowing the seeds of your future success. Businesses in the UK have so many opportunities for growth.
Where are the growth opportunities ?
Well have you looked properly! They are there. Your competitors may have spotted them. Look and you shall find!
Too much noise and not enough action!
Everybody is busy, but being busy doesn’t mean to say you’re in the growth business. Are you working hard but standing still? Have you got the talent, the assets and the ambition but not the results you’d hoped for?
The UK was built on innovation and hard graft, but in the recent past, we’ve been grafting too much and not innovating enough. The UK’s business leaders need to think smarter, not just work harder.
I could do with some help here mate!
Talk is cheap! I hear you! However, talking with like minded innovators who want to move to the action phase quickly might produce new business growth for your company.
Do most business leaders want the same thing – growth? Presumably none want to down-size. Many are happy to stay the same, though few businesses can survive by staying the same.
Many of your peers are happy to share ways to overcome barriers to business survival and business growth. No one person knows it all and even if they did, what they learnt would soon be out of date. Unless you keep up to date with best practices and evolving methods of working, you are going backwards behind competitors.
Sometimes we need to be inspired by the actions of others
Olympic competitors are inspired by the achievements of other Olympians. They may be at the top of their game, but they can still be inspired by the success of their peers.
Balanced Enterprise Risk Perspective
Are you taking too little or too much risk? Poor business performance can come from too much, or too little risk.
Getting access to the horse’s mouth
If you don’t know – ask for free! It is highly unlikely that your business problems are totally unique. They might be unusual and have a different impact on your business, but the solution to your business problems have almost certainly already been found at another business somewhere in the world.
It is important to get risk into the right perspective. If you don’t know enough about your enterprise risks, it is possible that you are being overly cautious. Alternatively you might be acting (or not acting) recklessly, and are on the edge of catastrophic disaster, due to lack of risk knowledge. Are you deliberately not asking questions cause you might not like the answers?

10 Essential Habits to Nurture and Develop as an Entrepreneur
Becoming a successful entrepreneur requires more than just having a great business idea. It involves nurturing certain habits that can help you navigate the challenges and uncertainties of the entrepreneurial journey. In this article, we will explore ten essential habits that aspiring entrepreneurs should cultivate to foster personal and professional growth. By incorporating these habits into your daily routine, you can enhance your entrepreneurial mindset and increase your chances of success.
Embrace Continuous Learning. One of the key habits for nurturing an entrepreneurial spirit is a commitment to continuous learning. Successful entrepreneurs understand that knowledge is power, and they never stop seeking opportunities to expand their expertise. They read books, attend seminars, listen to podcasts, and engage in online courses to stay updated with the latest industry trends and developments. By fostering a thirst for knowledge, you can make informed decisions, adapt to changing circumstances, and position yourself as an expert in your field.
Cultivate Resilience. Entrepreneurship is a challenging endeavour, often marked by setbacks and failures. To navigate through these hurdles, it is crucial to cultivate resilience. Successful entrepreneurs view failures as learning opportunities and bounce back stronger. They develop a positive mindset, practice self-care, and surround themselves with a support network that encourages them during tough times. By embracing resilience, you can overcome obstacles, stay motivated, and persevere on your entrepreneurial journey.
Foster Creativity. Creativity is at the heart of entrepreneurship. To nurture your entrepreneurial spirit, make creativity a daily habit. Allow yourself to think outside the box, challenge conventional wisdom, and explore new ideas. Engage in activities that stimulate your creativity, such as brainstorming sessions, mind mapping, or artistic endeavors. By fostering creativity, you can generate innovative solutions, differentiate yourself from competitors, and seize new opportunities.
Practice Effective Time Management. Time management is crucial for entrepreneurs who juggle multiple responsibilities and tasks. Develop habits such as setting clear goals, prioritising tasks, and utilising productivity tools. Identify your most productive hours and allocate them to the most critical activities. Additionally, delegate tasks and outsource non-essential activities to free up your time for strategic decision-making and growth-oriented pursuits. Effective time management will enhance your productivity, reduce stress, and enable you to make the most of each day.
Build a Strong Network. Successful entrepreneurs understand the power of networking and relationship building. Cultivate the habit of attending industry events, joining professional organisations, and actively engaging in online communities. Surround yourself with like-minded individuals, mentors, and potential partners. By building a strong network, you gain access to valuable resources, receive guidance from experienced entrepreneurs, and open doors to new opportunities.
Develop Effective Communication Skills. Effective communication is vital for entrepreneurs, whether it’s pitching ideas to investors, collaborating with team members, or connecting with customers. Practice active listening, articulate your thoughts clearly, and develop strong interpersonal skills. Embrace different communication channels, including public speaking, writing, and digital platforms. By honing your communication skills, you can convey your vision persuasively, build strong relationships, and inspire others to support your entrepreneurial endeavors.
Embody Adaptability. In today’s fast-paced business environment, adaptability is essential for entrepreneurial success. Develop the habit of embracing change, seeking feedback, and staying flexible in your approach. Be willing to pivot when necessary and adjust your strategies based on market trends and customer feedback. By embodying adaptability, you can stay ahead of the curve, seize emerging opportunities, and navigate through uncertain times with confidence.
Prioritise Self-Reflection. Entrepreneurs often get caught up in the daily grind and neglect self-reflection. However, taking time to evaluate your progress and introspect is crucial for personal and professional growth. Cultivate the habit of journaling, meditation, or mindfulness practices. Reflect on your accomplishments, challenges, and areas for improvement. By prioritising self-reflection, you gain clarity, make better decisions, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your entrepreneurial journey.
Embrace Risk-Taking. Entrepreneurship inherently involves taking risks. To nurture your entrepreneurial spirit, develop a habit of calculated risk-taking. Understand the potential rewards and consequences of each decision, conduct thorough research, and trust your instincts. Learn from failures, iterate, and adapt. By embracing calculated risk-taking, you can uncover new opportunities, gain a competitive edge, and propel your entrepreneurial ventures forward.
Practice Resilience. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks and challenges. As an entrepreneur, it is crucial to develop resilience as a daily habit. Surround yourself with a supportive network, take care of your physical and mental well-being, and maintain a positive mindset. View failures as learning experiences, embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, and persevere in the face of adversity. By practicing resilience, you can overcome obstacles, maintain your focus, and ultimately achieve long-term success.
Nurturing an entrepreneurial spirit requires the cultivation of specific habits that foster personal growth, resilience, and adaptability. By embracing continuous learning, cultivating resilience, fostering creativity, practicing effective time management, building a strong network, developing effective communication skills, embodying adaptability, prioritising self-reflection, embracing risk-taking, and practicing resilience, you can enhance your entrepreneurial mindset and increase your chances of success. Incorporate these habits into your daily routine, and watch yourself grow into a successful and thriving entrepreneur.
