“These tariffs on Canada will raise inflation expectations, it will raise the Treasury yield curve, right? 10, 20, 30-year bonds, they're going to go up on this.”
Thesis at the time
BearishThe host expects long-term Treasury yields to rise due to renewed Canada tariffs and lingering inflation concerns, which implies falling long-duration bond prices. He frames this as a headwind for both bonds and equities.
Key arguments
- New tariffs on Canada will raise inflation expectations and push the Treasury yield curve higher.
- Rising yields on 10, 20, and 30-year bonds will pressure broader stock markets.
