Market pundit Gary Shilling expects treasury volatility in crypto, stocks, and other assets to end in disaster. The former Merrill Lynch economist predicts that the 2023 surge will come to a “painful conclusion.”
Shilling has observed the greatest volatility in the bond market since the dotcom and 2008 financial crises. He opined that the exuberance of retail investors when markets peak foreshadows “severe punishment.”

“The extreme recent financial speculation is also certain to end with big price declines and huge losses by speculators. Signs that the end is near are proliferating,” According to Shilling.
He argued that recent upticks in the commercial real estate securities market appear suspicious because of a credit crunch in the office space market. When that market collapses, he believes it could take down other sectors. He adds that the fight against inflation may cause more job losses despite inflation cooling in the past six months.

The former economist said Nvidia, Tesla, and five other tech companies are similar to the trio of Kodak, Polaroid, and Xerox, which peaked during the 1930s yet suffered major losses during a 1970s recession. He advises investors to sell stocks and bet against crypto. However, Shilling predicted a crypto crash for several years before it occurred in 2022.
