The man who coined "bond vigilantes" in 1983 says they are back. And the market's most famous bull is turning cautious, for now. Dr. Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, joins Ankita Pathak, Head of Global Investments at Ionic Asset, for a macro investing masterclass: why bond yields are rattling equity markets, why he still sees no recession, what AI means for jobs and earnings, how to think about global markets and the dollar, and why he is bullish on gold.

• His view that interest rates are "back to normal" after the post-2008 era of rigged yield curves

• The G-shaped economy: why a generational story explains consumer spending better than a K-shaped one
• Why AI is "the real deal," and what he is watching to confirm the spending pays off
• On Gold: from "no opinion" for 50 years to a 10,000 scenario by the end of the decade
• France, the midterms, and what a bond-market "bazooka" might look like
