Today we're joined by Jonathon Costello, Client Portfolio Manager, Australian Fixed Interest at Janus Henderson.

Equity markets and bond markets are telling different stories. If we look at equity markets, the outlook looks strong as markets rebounded from the Liberation Day falls. However, take a look over at the bond market and yields keep creeping higher despite rate cuts as fixed income investors get nervous.

Today, with Jonathon, we unpack what the bond market is telling us:

• Why the bond market and equity market seem disconnected at the moment (and who is right)
• The early warning signs the bond market is flashing
• How many Aussie rate cuts the market is pricing in
• Concerns around US Government debt, and should there be a similar concern in Australia?
• How advisers can add defensive income to their portfolio
