Misreporting Global Income: Incorrect reporting of worldwide income can trigger audits and penalties. Overlooking Tax Treaty Benefits: The Canada-U.S. tax treaty offers provisions to reduce withholding taxes and exempt specific income categories, which are often underutilized.

Get Exposure To Interest Rate Movements Via Interest Rate Futures With Plus500

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Bond investors know all too well how interest rates can impact the performance of their investments. After all, in 2022 alone, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 11 times in an effort to curb inflation and slow the red-hot economy, sending bond returns plummeting. Bonds ended up having one of the worst years on record back then, with the Total Bond Index, which tracks U.S. investment-grade bonds falling more than 13%, intermediate-term Treasury bonds losing 10.6% and long-dated U.S. notes with 30 year maturities plummeting 39.2%. The Fed has changed course since then, raising interest rates three times this year. That allowed for more stability for bonds in the run up to the Fed actions but they are again in volatile territory, with the market unsure of what’s next for interest rates. Year-to-date the iShares Core US Aggregate Bond exchange-traded fund (ARCA: AGG), an index fund that gives investors access to a broad representation of the bond market, is down about 2.5%, even though it's yielding about 3.5%. Bond Market Malaise Optimism earlier in the year that the Fed would be aggressive in lowering rates seems to have dissipated, which is weighing on bond returns. At the Fed’s most recent rate cutting meeting the central bank lowered its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point to a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, which was widely expected. What wasn’t as expected, however, was the Fed’s signal that it wouldn’t be so aggressive in slashing interest rates in 2025. The Fed said it now expects to cut rates by a half a percentage point in 2025, less aggressive than the full percent point reduction it had previously forecast for 2025. The Fed pointed to rising inflation as a reason to take a more cautious stance. Plus with a new administration coming into the White House in January and the prospects of potential tariffs impacting the economy, the Fed is unsure how the economy might fare in 2025. "It's kind of common sense that when the path is uncertain, you go a little bit slower," Fed chairman Jerome Powell told reporters. "It's not unlike driving on a foggy night or walking into a dark room full of furniture." The Fed’s new stance sent stocks plummeting and dampened optimism in the bond market. It will still make it cheaper to buy a car or home or borrow money, but for bond investors it means potentially more volatility and uncertainty. But it’s not all doom and gloom as we head into 2025. Bonds yields are doing much better than a few years ago when they offered a mere 1% to 2% payouts. That not only provides a cushion but is potentially making them attractive to some given that stocks have had a tough go of it as of late. Hedge Or Speculate With Interest Rate Futures While all that volatility could keep investors awake at night, it also presents an opportunity for bond investors to either hedge against rate increases or speculate on where interest rates will go via interest rate futures. These are derivative contracts in which the underlying asset is an interest bearing financial instrument such as a government bond. With an interest rate futures contract traders can lock in the price of the asset in the future. For institutional investors, interest rate futures can help them mitigate risk from interest rate exposures while for traders it can be a way to profit on betting the direction of interest rates. It can also be a capital efficient way to manage exposure to government bonds and money market securities, giving investors access to a wide range of benchmark products including U.S. Treasury Bonds, 10-Year Yield, 30-Day Fed Fund and more. Typically when it comes to interest rate futures the underlying assets include: Treasury Bonds, which are U.S. federal government long-term debt securities that provide semiannual interest payments. Treasury Bills, which are U.S. Treasury Department short-term debt. Their value is derived from interest rates and interest rate predictions. Eurodollars, which are deposits denominated in U.S. dollars and held in foreign banks or overseas branches of U.S. banks. The interest rates of Eurodollars serve as benchmarks for corporate funding. Plus500 Makes It Easy To Trade Interest Rate Futures Investing in interest rate futures is made easier with Plus500 Ltd. (OTC: PLSQF),Established in 2008, the firm has grown its importance as a player in the financial trading sector, being listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PLUS and included in the FTSE 250 Index. Through its platform investors can trade a bevy of interest rate futures tied to debt instruments including two, five and ten year U.S. Treasury notes, the Micro Ultra 10-year U.S. Treasury Note, the U.S. T-Bond, Ultra T-Bond, Micro Ultra T-Bond, Micro 10-Year Yield, the Ultra 10-Year T-Note and the 3-Year T-Note. And all it takes to get started, according to Plus500, is $100. The trading platform is working hard on carving out a name for itself catering to new and experienced traders, providing a straightforward and accessible way to trade interest rate futures. From its free education videos and articles designed to help traders stay in the interest rate futures market loop to its 24-hour customer support seven days of the week, traders are never alone.

PapersOwls Survey Reveals Gen Z Spending Habits Around Christmas

Rev Up Marketers

A recent survey conducted by PapersOwl offers valuable insights into Generation Z's spending habits during the Christmas season. The findings shed light on preferences, budget allocation, and shopping behaviors exhibited by this influential demographic. These insights provide a comprehensive view of how Gen Z approaches holiday shopping, gift-giving, and seasonal celebrations. Key findings: 59% of Gen Z strongly agree that Christmas is the most important holiday. 33% of Gen Z have gone into debt because of Christmas spending. For 8 out of 10 Gen Z, gifts dominate Christmas expenses. 46% of Gen Z feel pressured to spend more than they can afford. The survey revealed that Generation Z prioritizes thoughtful and meaningful gifts over extravagant or expensive purchases. A significant percentage expressed a preference for personalized items, handmade products, and experiences over traditional material gifts. This trend aligns with the generation's focus on creating memorable moments and fostering deeper connections during the festive season. Budget considerations play a pivotal role in this demographic's spending habits. The data (78% of respondents agreed) highlights a tendency to allocate budgets carefully, often setting limits to avoid overspending. Many participants indicated a preference for affordability and value-driven shopping, reflecting a conscientious approach to holiday expenditures. Discounts, sales, and promotional offers emerge as crucial factors influencing purchasing decisions for 87% of respondents. Online shopping dominates as the preferred method for holiday purchases among Generation Z. The survey results emphasize the convenience and accessibility of e-commerce platforms, which allow for price comparisons, customer reviews, and seamless transactions. Mobile devices play a key role in facilitating this trend, with many opting to shop via apps or mobile-optimized websites. Social media platforms exert a significant influence on this group's holiday shopping habits. The findings indicate that trends, recommendations, and product advertisements encountered on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest often shape purchasing choices. Influencer endorsements and viral product reviews contribute to the discovery of unique gift ideas, further shaping the overall shopping experience. Oryna Shestakova, Head of Communications at PapersOwl, commented on this: ”The burden of a “perfect Christmas” seems to be derived from social media. Almost half of Gen Z believe social media influences their perception of Christmas. In the meantime, 71% agree that Christmas has become too commercialized by social media, creating unrealistic expectations and encouraging excessive shopping. Moreover, one-third of Gen Z often compare their Christmas celebration to that of celebrities, further amplifying the pressure to live up to idealized standards. No wonder 8 of 10 Gen Z don’t broadcast their Christmas celebration online.” Gift-giving traditions remain central to holiday celebrations for 78% of Generation Z, with a focus on exchanging thoughtful tokens of appreciation among close friends and family members. The survey findings indicate an early start to holiday shopping among Generation Z, with many beginning preparations well in advance of December. Early planning allows for thoughtful decision-making, better budget management, and access to a wider range of options. This trend aligns with a desire to avoid last-minute stress and ensure a more enjoyable holiday experience. Digital tools and technology play a vital role in enhancing the shopping experience. The data highlights a growing reliance on price comparison websites, wish list apps, and budgeting tools. These resources enable more informed decision-making and help shoppers identify the best deals. Technology-driven solutions contribute to a streamlined and efficient holiday shopping process. Streaming platforms and digital media are integral to holiday entertainment for Generation Z. The survey highlights an increased inclination toward digital content, such as holiday-themed movies, music playlists, and virtual events. These activities complement traditional celebrations and add a modern twist to holiday festivities. The data further reveals that food and beverages play one of the central roles in holiday spending, giving up the championship only to gifts. A focus on specialty treats, gourmet options, and festive recipes reflects an interest in enhancing holiday gatherings. Many respondents indicated plans to explore cooking or baking as part of their seasonal traditions, emphasizing creativity and shared experiences. The findings from the PapersOwl survey provide valuable insights into the evolving Christmas spending habits of Generation Z. By prioritizing meaningful connections, sustainability, and affordability, this demographic demonstrates a distinct approach to holiday celebrations. The data underscores the influence of technology, social media, and ethical considerations in shaping shopping behaviors, offering a clear view of emerging trends in holiday spending.
