Meeting Dan Burns1:26 – 2:33

Carmel CrimminsHost

1:26

So whenever I want to dig into the U.S. economy, I always call up our U.S. economy editor, Dan Burns.

Carmel CrimminsHost

1:32

He is knowledgeable, he's affable, and he doesn't mind getting up at the crack of dawn to record a podcast.

Carmel CrimminsHost

1:38

Good morning, Dan.

Carmel CrimminsHost

1:39

How are you and have you had your coffee?

D

1:42

I'm fine, Carmel.

D

1:43

Good to talk to you.

D

1:44

And I'm having my green tea.

D

1:47

As you know, my wife is English and I'm an American who doesn't drink coffee, married to an English woman who doesn't drink tea.

Carmel CrimminsHost

1:56

You're both singular, if that works as a sentence.

Carmel CrimminsHost

1:59

I don't even know if it does.

Carmel CrimminsHost

2:02

Dan, to take you away from your green tea, bond yields, right? So I said to you, let's do a whole podcast about why we should care about the 10-year treasury yield being at 5%, not 50%.

Carmel CrimminsHost

2:12

That would be a whole different podcast, 5%.

Carmel CrimminsHost

2:15

I checked this morning and it's at 4.96%.

Carmel CrimminsHost

2:18

So maybe we don't need to do a pod at all.

Carmel CrimminsHost

2:20

Like the market has kind of done the work for me.

Carmel CrimminsHost

2:23

Nothing to see here.

D

2:24

Crisis over, right?

Carmel CrimminsHost

2:26

right can we do a bit of economics 101 what is the 10-year treasury yield and why is it so important dan
