James Davolos Inflation Rate Inflation will remain elevated at 3-5% rather than returning to the 2% target
See quote
[7:18] in this type of environment, if we think the true rate of inflation is going to be skewing more 3 to 5 versus the more historical, at least targeted benchmark of two, I think that you should be looking at a minimum hurdle bench rate benchmark rate of return of around 10% in these assets.

Lawrence Lepard Inflation Rate The US will experience serious inflation as the Fed runs an 'industrial policy' with low rates and growing credit

Um, but we have serious serious inflation and the Fed just says, 'Well, you know, we're not going to deal with that because we've got this industrial policy.'

Peter Schiff Inflation Rate Inflation will reach double digits in the last two years of Trump's second term (2027-2029), exceeding Biden-era inflation
See quote
[6:59] I think the Trump second term in its entirety is going to uh deliver a bigger increase in the cost of living than the Biden term. So it's going to be a bigger problem inflation in Trump's second term than it was under Biden. uh especially in the last two years. I think that's where it's going to be the worst. Under Biden, inflation was the worst during his first two years, but I think in Trump, it's going to be the back end of his term, the last two years where inflation is going to be uh the worst probably into the double digits.
