Kenny Polcari asks where rates are going and gets the question reframed. Michael Reinking, Senior Market Strategist at the New York Stock Exchange, argues the speed matters more than the level, and points to a market repricing hard on a second-tier data release. Justin Bergner, CFA, Portfolio Manager of the Gabelli Dividend Growth Fund, puts the danger zone somewhere above 5% and explains what a rising rate cycle does to companies that are only yield plays. Then Reinking explains why the index looks calmer than the market underneath it actually is.
