Jeremy Siegel Says Fed Should Raise Rates Next Week Despite Selloff Risk

Wharton School finance professor Jeremy Siegel said he expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates next week, citing rising oil prices and long-term bond yields. According to BeInCrypto, Siegel said a hold could hurt Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s credibility, while a hike could trigger an immediate selloff before bonds and stocks recover. He also said this week’s CPI report could still sway the decision, with Brent crude above $100 a barrel and the 10-year Treasury yield near 4.90%.
