What will the Ten-year be by year-end? How will the debt-ceiling play out? - In-depth analysis

<h1>In-depth capital markets analysis</h1> <p>The Ten-year is at around 1.50 as of this morning. But what will it be by the end of the year?</p> <p>Analyst Bryan Kern predicts 1.75. “We're 25 basis points away. I think we'll see a lot of volatility, but I don’t 't think it's going to be a runaway train as I did a bit earlier in the year.</p> <p>“We finally got the word taper out of the Fed's mouth and, and it did have an impact, but I think we're going to be range-bound for a little bit. We’ll definitely see some volatility before year-end.”</p> <p>For clients looking to exit in the next six to nine months, Analyst Jay Saunders said it’s difficult to predict how things will look in spring 2022.</p> <p>However, he does think it will be a low-rate environment until this time next year. He adds that when rates do move, it’s often too late for investors to start the exit process.</p> <p>Jay looked back at the last Fed tightening cycle in around 2016, the markets didn’t see long-term rates run up in advance of the increase in short-term rates.</p> <p>“The Fed went through the same process. Then they tapered on their asset purchases prior to raising rates,” he explains.</p> <p>“We saw long-term rates trend down. They didn't really start to move up quickly until the Fed started raising rates.</p> <p>“So, depending on what your timeframe is, if you believe the Fed will start to increase full term rates late in 2022, that's probably when you start to see acceleration in long-term rates. Until that time, I'm not sure you're going to see it, but it's a different market, right?”</p> <p>The team also analyses cap products, the curve shape, who will step into the Fed’s shoes when they stop buying, the debt ceiling issues, and how unfulfilled jobs may impact the holiday season at the end of year.</p>
