Peter Schiff Blames Bidenomics For Surging Bond Yields, Energy Prices: 'What Happens If In A Year...Oil Is $150'
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Economist Peter Schiff has warned that rising bond yields and energy prices could indicate worsening inflation. He suggested that if 10-year Treasury yields reach 7% and oil prices hit $150, it could be a sign of inflation. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note recently hit 4.372%, the highest since November 2017, due to investor expectations that the Fed might not reverse its rate hikes soon. Crude oil prices have also risen due to supply-side concerns. The iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP) ended Tuesday's session down 0.28% at $105.03.
