  • Central banks face a delicate balancing act regarding interest rates amid persistent inflation challenges.

Yields Up, Up, Up

Folks, let me tell you, these Treasury yields are going through the roof, just like the Trump Tower. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note is at its highest in 15 months. Some people are saying it's because of, and I quote, "global bond markets selling off". Frankly, it's simple – everyone knows my policies were the best for the economy, the best. Now, with these characters running things, yields are just going to keep climbing. Sad.

The G7: A Total Disaster, Believe Me

This G7 meeting in Paris – another disaster in the making. They're all 'worried' about inflation and public debt. Christine Lagarde even said, "I always worry, that's my job". Can you believe it? Worrying is her job? My job was winning, and we were winning so much, you'd get tired of winning. But are these 'experts' even considering how United Airlines Slices Up First Class Like a Madman's Cake affects the global markets? Probably not. They should be asking me for advice, frankly.

Warsh at the Fed: Not My First Choice, But...

This new Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, facing rising consumer prices? I knew him, I worked with him. He wasn't my first choice, not by a long shot, but maybe he'll get the job done. But with prices going up, up, up and import costs soaring, he's got his work cut out for him. It was always better under me, everyone agrees. The economy was strong, very strong, and the Fed was on board.

Oil Prices: They're Rigged, Folks

And don't even get me started on these oil prices. Brent crude up, U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures up? It's a rigged system, just like everything else these days. When I was in charge, we had energy independence. We were drilling, we were producing, and prices were low. Now? It's all a mess, a total disaster. You know it, and I know it.

UK Turmoil: They Miss Me Already

The UK in turmoil? Shocker. They should have stuck with Brexit, and they should have listened to me. This Keir Starmer character, sounds like a loser. A decisive shift to the left? Believe me, they'll be begging for the good old days soon enough. I know deals, and I know what's best for everyone, even those who don't realize it yet.

The Art of the Deal (and Interest Rates)

This Will Hobbs guy at Brooks Macdonald says central bankers face a 'tightrope on interest rates'. Well, let me tell you something, I'm the king of the tightrope. I walk it better than anyone. It's all about negotiation, about leverage, about making the best deal. These guys need to learn the Art of the Deal, and they need to learn it fast. Maybe I should write another book...it would be a tremendous success, everyone says so.
