Experts warn that if inflation remains high while growth slows, the yield curve could fall across the board, putting global bond markets under pressure as well. The real test of the 5% era is how long it lasts.

Mars Finance reports that analyst Ali posted on X that Bitcoin recently encountered resistance while attempting to break through $87,000.
