Schiff: Higher Rates to Persist as Fed Fights Inflation, Forcing Investors to Adapt
-
Peter Schiff believes the Fed will keep interest rates high as inflation remains sticky, ending the era of zero interest rate policy.
-
Higher rates for longer could mean more expensive borrowing, potentially reduced economic activity, and pressure on the dollar.
-
A return to zero rates could spur high inflation and stock market volatility, per Schiff.
-
Investors may need to adapt strategies, turning to assets like real estate to hedge inflation.
-
Individuals can benefit from higher rates via savings accounts, CDs, but debt may become difficult to manage.
