Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners, cautioned that markets are still grappling with the effects of what he calls a “big deal.” finances boil in history.
The Investor argued that the world agreement The bear market is nearing its end and expects US Treasury yields to retest to 5%, a move that could force stock valuations and the end of the AI-driven market, according to interview by David Lin published on July 14.
Boockvar said the bond market remains long-term and expects Treasury yields to continue to rise, revisiting the 5% range seen in 2023.
“I think we’re in a bear market. I’ve been saying this for years. We’re in a bear market. It’s global, and it follows the biggest, maybe the biggest economic events in the history of the bubble,” Boockvar said.
According to the investor, higher yields can create more pressure property valuations, particularly in growth-oriented sectors that have benefited from years of low borrowing costs.
Boockvar’s concerns focus on the unprecedented period in which the world’s $18 trillion in cash generated positive yields, which occurred after years of financial stress by the big banks.

Warning on the AI market conference

He hopes that the benefits of AI investment will shift from the developers of the infrastructure to the companies that use it art.
