Rising inflation, rising debt, and rising interest rates – a dangerous cocktail for markets?

Rising inflation, rising debt, and rising interest rates – a dangerous cocktail for markets?

Investors are getting nervous.

Since the market correction in March 2020, both bond and equity prices have skyrocketed higher on the back of enormous monetary and fiscal stimulus. Now, as inflation expectations continue to edge higher, investors are starting to sell government bonds, sending interest rates up sharply. The 10-year US Treasury yield has already risen to its highest level since the start of the pandemic. And as fiscal spending, debt levels and inflation expectations continue to rise, many investors are getting unsettled.

To discuss the implications of these developments, we were thrilled to have three brilliant minds join us on this podcast:

– Giles Keating, former Head of Global Research at Credit Suisse and current board member of Bitcoin Suisse

– Carl Verbrugge, Partner at Lombard Odier

– Guy Spier, best-selling author, prominent value investor and CEO of Aquamarine Capital
