interest rates
In this week’s Off The Cuff I sit down with Wolf Richter to discuss:
- The future implications of rising Treasury yields
- How long can the full-blown mania in the markets last?
- Why Wolf thinks the Fed’s hand will be forced to tighten by rising inflation
- San Francisco homelessness/crime boom a sign of things to come nationwide?
Treasury yields have been rising, with the 10-year just hitting its highest level in nearly a year. What does this signify?
Wolf Richter watches the bond market closely and thinks this is an early tell that the Fed may end up disappointing the markets eventually.
Like many of our recent guest experts, Wolf sees higher inflation ahead. And at some point, he sees the Fed — despite its recent stated willingness to let inflation “run hot” for a while — being forced to try to contain it.
Before it gets to the “unthinkable” stage of raising interest rates, it will use the other arrows in its quiver like slowing/stopping QE and eventually selling assets off of its balance sheet. So by allowing the long end of the Treasury curve to rise now, the Fed may be taking its first baby step towards ending its longstanding easing efforts.
Of course, if true, the ramifications of this are tremendous, as Wolf explains here:

A full decade and some $14 Trillion in newly-printed money later, plus the cheapest interest rates in recorded history, and yet the central banks have not been able to restore growth to the global economy. The experiment has failed.
What good is Dow 30,000 if 75% of us can’t afford a house or scrape together $400 in an emergency?

- How the rich are using hard assets to protect their wealth
- Life strategies for a low-energy future
So much ground to cover… John Rubino returns this week to discuss the recent Not-QE program announced by the Fed. What exactly will it be? And why is the Fed implementing it now?

Over the past decade, the world’s central banks have distorted the price of money by bringing interest rates to record lows.
With credit so cheap, asset prices have risen dramatically as companies and governments have borrowed to the hilt.
On top of all that, it takes energy for an economy to function and conventional economists have assumed energy away. The debt predicament would be hard enough on its own. Without sufficient energy it’s impossible to solve, and mainstream economists cling to absurd notions of how the world works.
To discuss this massive problem and propose some potential solutions is Steve Keen, professor of economics at Kingston University in London and author of Debunking Economics.
