Bianco on the Bond Market and Bitcoin Adoption

Bitcoin Magazine has published a video conversation with Jim Bianco of Bianco Research, titled 'Jim Bianco: Macro Outlook, The 4th Turning and Bitcoin Adoption'.

According to Jim Bianco of Bianco Research, the bond market had been indicating for two years that a rate hike was necessary, and the Fed recently delivered its first increase in over three years. Bianco notes that during the rate-cutting cycle, the ten-year yield rose from 3.7% to 5%, marking the first time in over 50 years that long-term yields climbed while the Fed was cutting. During the discussion with Grace Remington and Sean Hagan, Bianco outlines the conditions in the long end of the yield curve that would convince him the Fed has won back credibility with bond investors. He also addresses why the October 28 decision, coming one week before the midterm elections, carries more weight than Wall Street realizes.
