A 6 minute video is not an appropriate way to assess interesting things happening in the economy. It might as well just be a "French Bond Risk Hits Euro-Crisis Levels" tweet.
Economies are complicated beasts and the bond market represents the sum of all the thinking around what opportunities exist and how likely they are to pay off. It is a big, complicated beast. There isn't a lot of meaningful information about it that exists between the 7 word headline and 5 minutes of talking heads.
YouTube has some pretty good economic content but it takes at least a half-hour and more reasonably an hour+ to get even introductory coverage of a topic.
Depends what you're looking for. If you want fun factoids I like <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com/" rel="nofollow">https://marginalrevolution.com/. For introductory topics and macroeconomic ideas, YouTube search topic + pdh economist and videos >=20 minutes is often good although I will say I don't like Varoufakis' opinions when he turns up. That'll all usually end up in the world of podcasts because they host long-form content and leads naturally into more current headline topics.
For trading I do my own research based on whatever statistics come to hand. I have contempt for short term trading news on the theory that I'm too small to be tactical and will just going to ride along with big obvious trends. No recommendations there.
