Program and guest
A Wealthion interview with Chris Casey, founder and managing director of WindRock Wealth Management. Original English title: 7% Treasury Yields by 2028? The Midterm Warning.
Key points
- Rising interest rates compress valuations, so investors should stockpile inflation hedges: precious metals, real estate and cryptocurrency 0:07
- The bond market is “hitting the debt wall at 80 miles per hour”: the market took a long time to wake up, but over the past two years, especially this year, 10-year and 30-year yields have begun to respond appropriately 6:13
- Debt of 40 trillion dollars, with another 60 trillion to 80 trillion dollars to be spent each year, is an existential threat to the US government, and the bond market will continue to wake up 7:25
- A 10-year yield of 7% by the 2028 election would not be surprising: substantially higher interest rates two years from now would likewise not be surprising 7:38
- The effect on the stock market is not uniform, but high-valuation stocks whose value comes primarily from long-term future cash flows are most at risk, because those cash flows must be discounted at higher interest rates 13:44
