Brent Rentmeister, founder and managing director of Windrock Wealth Management, discussed with host Maggie Lake how the 10-year Treasury rate at 5.2% represents a normalization following an artificial period of near-zero rates. However, Rentmeister argued this does not make debt instruments a screaming bargain or justify a massive move into bonds.
“With the 10-year treasury at 5.2%, I mean, for a lot of my adult life, that's felt pretty normal. So I think when we zoom out a bit, we have to recognize we came through such an extraordinary and unique period after the great financial crisis and through where interest rates literally went to almost zero in the United States.”
