Where should the 10 year Treasury yield actually be?

Jim Bianco says we're already close to fair value, and that's a good thing.

🧠 His logic: interest rates aren't supposed to be as low as possible. They're the cost of money, and if that cost is too cheap, bad investments survive that should have failed. He puts fair value at a "five handle," meaning rates approaching 5%. The 10 year is already at 4.75%. The 30 year and most corporate bonds are already there.

🎣 The catch: getting to fair value probably means home price growth slows down. Homeowners won't love that. Renters finally get some relief.

Do you think 5% is the right target, or is Bianco underestimating what higher-for-longer rates could break?

🎙️ How does the Fed actually fight inflation?

Vance Barse asks if the Fed's toolkit still matches today's inflation, and Dennis Lockhart pushes back on the idea that rate hikes work mainly through labor costs. His take: it's the credit channel, higher borrowing costs for households and businesses, that slows the economy, with employment effects as a byproduct, not the main mechanism.
