7% Treasury Yields by 2028? The Midterm Warning

Could the 10-year Treasury yield hit 7% by 2028? And what would that mean for stocks, bonds, gold, and your portfolio? 📈 Get a complimentary portfolio review: https://bit.ly/4e9LsJV As the 2026 U.S. midterm elections approach, Chris Casey, founder and managing director of WindRock Wealth Management, joins Maggie Lake to explain why America's mounting debt crisis could pose a much bigger threat to investors than the election results themselves. With U.S. national debt approaching $40 trillion, Casey warns that continued government spending and rising deficits could eventually force bond yields significantly higher. He believes a 7% yield on the 10-year Treasury by 2028 is a realistic possibility — a scenario that could trigger serious pressure on stock valuations, particularly high-multiple technology companies. But the risks don't stop with interest rates. Casey examines how the midterm elections could reshape government spending, financial regulation, taxes, and the outlook for technology companies. He also explains why America's debt problem makes inflation hedges and real assets increasingly important for long-term investors.
