I know almost everyone keeps saying we're not going to have a
recession,"
I never understood why people say this. Of course we're going to
have a recession. It is just a matter of when. A recession is a
natural and expected part of the economic cycle.
Peter SchiffThe yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury is over 5% for the 1st
time since 2009. At 4.85%, the 10-year will soon following, rising
above 5% for the 1st time since 2007. Yields won't stop rising at
5%. 6% and 7% handles will likely follow in 2024, resulting in a
financial crisis."
Not a bad
prediction
also, the 40 year secular bear market in interest rates (secular
bull market in bonds) ended early last year with that trendline
break on the monthly
people with too much 'recency' bias thinking rates will
eventfully go back down - yes eventually rates will pullback here
once TLT bottoms (remember my monthly chart looking at this as a
5th wave and once complete should have a decent ABC bounce, which
would provide a pullback in rates).
anyway the point is: rates being higher is the new normal for
the next 10, 20 years as rates are in a secular bull market, bonds
are in a secular bear. Again rates won't go up the entire time, but
the floor has moved much higher- not going to see the 10 year
go back to 0.6% like it was a few years ago - maybe for my my
future grandchildren
I never understood this concept of 0-3% rates. In india the
lowest rate we ever had was 9%. Currently home loans are around
12-13% and people think its completely normal. Economy in India is
booming like no tomorrow. Inflation is also pretty much the same
over the years. They have welfare schemes too but not to the level
of madness we have in US
by everyone you mean everyone on CNBC, not us LOL, I"ve never
changed my stance on that, the storm is coming, like a storm, it's
simply been a very slow moving front, eventually it will eventually
reach us
