Komal Sri-Kumar, president of Sri-Kumar Global Strategies, told CNBC on Friday, September 11, that the Federal Reserve should raise its policy rate by 50 basis points at its meeting next week. He noted that the 10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.95% on September 10, just one basis point from 5%, and the 30-year Treasury yield sits at 5.37%. Sri-Kumar's 'danger zone' for the bond market triggers when the 30-year yield reaches 5.75% with a 75 bps spread over the 10-year. He argues that rising oil prices and global tariffs are driving inflation more significantly than monthly CPI prints, with core PCE consistently above the Fed's 2% target for years.
