The autumn wind is blowing in and it's taking interest rates higher as the Federal Reserve boosted the overnight lending rate by a quarter point last week, as expected. Investors may be getting used to higher for longer interest rates and inflation as the stock market has been running in place for more than one month. It’s the bond market that everyone is focused on, and it’s the focus of Robin Wigglesworth’s new book, “A Fabulous Debt”. He joins The Express with the history of bonds and why they are so pivotal in the geopolitical tensions that define 2026. Plus, Warren Buffett steps down as Berkshire’s Chairman, but his legend continues.

Did you know that the New York Stock Exchange was actually a bond market to begin with?
Just imagine, it used to be cool.
Anyway, that story (and maaany more) is in my new book A Fabulous Debt, a history of the bond market, which is coming out any day now.

Moro å være i DN denne helgen (og ikke fordi jeg har skrevet noe for avisen, slik jeg alltid drømte om da jeg var yngre). Men tross overskriften så handler det om den nye boken min. dn.no/magasinet/portrettet/-…
