  • Investor Vincent Chan Highlights the Power of the $130 Trillion Bond Market in Wealth Building
    April 16, 2026, 7:27 PM EDT. Investor Vincent Chan stresses the importance of understanding the bond market, a $130 trillion system influencing mortgage rates, stock valuations, and employment. Chan explains the 'yield seesaw'-when bond prices rise, yields fall, and vice versa-which directly affects borrowing costs. Rising bond yields lead to higher mortgage rates, as banks use bond yields to set these rates, impacting housing affordability. The bond market also drives stock market flows, with low yields making stocks more attractive and high yields prompting a shift to bonds. Additionally, higher interest rates increase corporate borrowing costs, potentially affecting jobs. Chan urges investors to learn how to leverage the bond market wisely to build wealth effectively.
