Jeremy Siegel: Why the Fed May Not Be Done Raising Rates

ABOUT THE EPISODE Strong economic growth, stubborn inflation, and rising energy costs could give the Federal Reserve reason to keep interest rates higher for longer.

Jeremy Siegel, Wharton Emeritus Professor of Finance, explains why the Fed may need to raise rates again, what wage growth and bond yields reveal about the economy, and how oil prices could affect consumers and inflation. He also discusses U.S.-China trade, the market implications of a potential Strait of Hormuz agreement, and the continuing AI investment boom.
