The Federal Reserve raised rates by 25 basis points, but Peter explains why this move is purely symbolic. The committee was backed into a corner by its own rhetoric, forced to act despite having no real ability to contain rising inflation. This quarter-point increase fails to address the underlying economic reality where diesel and oil prices remain at record highs.
Markets reacted immediately as the bond market signaled deep trouble ahead, with 10-year Treasury yields pushing toward 6 percent. Peter breaks down why this tightening cycle is destined to fail, leading to an inevitable economic crash rather than stability. He also covers why 8 percent mortgage rates are on the horizon and explains his outlook for gold as the Treasury struggles to fund itself.
