Recall 2 weeks ago that news of the incoming German Chancellor’s ambitions to massively increase debt/spending led to the end of the bond rally in the US that took 10yr yields from 4.55 to 4.15%. The resulting bounce in US Treasuries was limited to roughly 15bps. Meanwhile, Germany’s equivalent 10yr yields spiked 3 times as much, with the March 5th being the worst day for German bonds since 1989 (fall of Berlin Wall). At the time, it wasn’t a given that the debt ceiling increase could pass muster in Germany’s constitutional court and parliament, but as of this morning, it’s a done deal. Thankfully, it seems markets already had this fully priced in.
Meanwhile, the US bond market’s consolidation continues in…
National Debt Relief LLC won a round in court when a judge ruled that a man who alleged he was driven to depression due to his workload and fired while on leave will have to take his claims before an arbitrator rather than a jury.
Marvin Kharrazi contends in his Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit that he was one of the top producers at the debt consolidation company’s Culver City office, but was still pressured to produce more and that the impact caused him to take time off. He further maintains he was told when he was fired while on leave in 2022 that it was because of too many absences.
On Monday, Judge Bradley S. Phillips granted NDR’s motion to compel arbitration. The judge also put the lawsuit on hold pending the outcome…

TORONTO: Hudson’s Bay Co (HBC) has fought to avoid a full shutdown in a Toronto courtroom, asking for permission to begin liquidating most of its stores this week.
A lawyer for Canada’s oldest company, Ashley Taylor, said HBC’s efforts to solve its cash flow crisis have “failed”.
Taylor also told a standing-room-only crowd at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice that if the retailer can’t find a workable solution with its creditors and landlords, it would need to fully liquidate.
HBC, which owes about C$1.1bil (US$770mil) in secured debt, sought authorisation to sell inventory over the next three months to raise cash.
Canada’s oldest company could start its liquidation sales soon and go on for up to 12 weeks—but what sorts of deals could shoppers find?
Lawyers for Hudson’s Bay appeared in court on Monday and outlined their plans, proposing a way for the retailer to remove some stores from the liquidation process should it find sufficient financing during those weeks when the company’s lawyer expects to offload its inventory.
Pending that court approval, the liquidation process could start within days—meaning inventory clearance sales at all 80 stores across the country, as well as three Saks Fifth Avenue and 13 Saks Off 5th stores that the company owns through a licensing agreement.
As the retailer winds down, Hudson’s Bay said in a…
