The bond market is talking, but no one is listening.

As I explain in my bestselling book The Everything Bubble: the Endgame For Central Bank Policy, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury bond is the single-most important interest rate in the financial system.

This is the “risk free” rate of return… the rate against which ALL risk is measured (stocks, commodities, corporate bonds, mortgages, etc).

With that in mind, take a look at the following chart.

10-Year U.S. Treasury Bill Yield

As you can see, the yield on the 10-Year Treasury is breaking out to the upside, having broken above its 20-year trendline.

Why does this matter?

Because this chart is telling us, in no uncertain terms, that inflation is coming.

You see, bond yields track inflation (as well as economic growth). So as inflation rises, bond yields will also rise.

When bond yields rise, bond prices fall.

When bond prices fall, the Bond Bubble bursts.

When the bond bubble bursts, the EVERYTHING bubble follows.

It will take time for this to unfold, but as I recently told clients of my Private Wealth Advisory report, we’re currently in “late 2007” for the coming crisis.

The time to prepare for this is NOW before the carnage hits.
