Fed Hike Next? Oil, Inflation and the Bond Market Warning
About this episode
The episode discusses market volatility, inflation risks, and the potential for Fed rate hikes amidst various economic pressures.
In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris, Saied and Rajeil break down a market that feels more like a casino than a pricing mechanism, from Trump-driven headline volatility and bond market warning signs to rising oil risks, shaky Fed cut expectations, and why the stock market may be ignoring the bigger problem entirely. They dig into the growing disconnect between equities and Treasuries, the real inflation threat hiding in energy, the possibility that the Fed may be forced to hike instead of cut, and why housing, flipping, and rate-sensitive assets are all flashing caution signs. Along the way, they also go off on AI addiction, productivity pressure, geopolitical chaos, and the uncomfortable reality that in a world run by algorithms, hype, and revisions, staying “plugged in” is no longer optional. This one is part macro breakdown, part group therapy, and fully THS. 💥 Have you left your "honest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" review? This episode is proudly brought to you by Fridays.
