4. Term Of The Day 📚
Negative Convexity
📖Definition: A feature of certain bonds where the duration decreases as interest rates fall, making them less attractive

💡Example: A mortgage bond may be paid off early if rates drop, reducing investor returns due to negative convexity
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧Song: “Back to Life” by Rascal Flatts
Genre: Country
Why it hits: Smooth vocals with heartfelt lyrics—great for reflecting on life’s moments while keeping things easy and uplifting.
