Ep. 495 I BOND MARKET CRASH: THE SCENARIOS INVESTORS SHOULD KNOW NOW

Interest rates are rising worldwide. For example, the ten-year yield on U.S. Treasuries has reached 4.80 per cent, the highest level in 20 years, and the thirty-year yield 5 ½ per cent. Although interest rate levels differ (quite substantially) from one currency area to another, credit costs are climbing everywhere. We have repeatedly pointed to the extremely important “interest rate problem” in previous issues of Dr. Polleit’s BOOM & BUST REPORT. The reason: The interest rate is probably the most important variable for financial market activity. It is essentially embedded in every financial market price—whether stocks, bonds, real estate, or commodities: All these prices ultimately depend on the interest rate. And rising interest rates exert downward pressure on financial market prices. We take a look at future scenarios as far as interest rates and inflation are concerned.
