David Hunter 10-Year Treasury Yield The 10-year Treasury yield is making a major top around the 5.30-5.36% level and will reverse lower from here.
See quote
[2:27] I believe we are making a major bottom in in the bond market here. major top in rates. Uh I focus on 10 year. Third year's gone obviously broken out and gone above uh levels and and people are projecting higher. I'm not so worried about the 30-year. What really matters what what loans get priced off of, mortgages get priced off of is the 10-year. We keep bumping up against the kind of 530 535 536 level.

David Hunter Inflation Rate Inflation has peaked and will surprise to the downside over the coming months.
See quote
[10:51] I think inflation has peaked. Again, oil will be a part of that story if I'm wrong and oil spikes the other way. Uh inflation can eat up some more. But really, the you know, we've seen in the recent inflation prints that there is some beginnings of rolling over in inflation... I would argue that inflation is basically going to surprise people on the downside going forward.

David Hunter S&P 500 The S&P 500 will rally to 10,000 within the next 3 to 6 months before topping out.
See quote
[12:34] My my current S&P target is 10,000. So, I'm not sure where we were last time we spoke, but I'm at 10,000 on the S&P. Um 36,000 on NASDAQ, 70,000 on the Dow, and 4,000 on the Russell. So, if you do the numbers on those, you know, they're basically between 30 and probably the Russell's over 40% now from here. Um, so those are big still big moves up. I think they'll be in a steep rally. So they can happen in the matter of just a few months or it might, you know, might take longer than that. I'm not trying to predict a specific end, but I think we're within 3 to 6 months of a top in the stock market.

David Hunter S&P 500 After topping at 10,000, the S&P 500 will decline approximately 80% to around 2,000 in a subsequent bear market beginning in 2027.
See quote
[18:08] So, if I'm right on 10,000 on the S&P, I wouldn't be surprised to see that down as much as 80%. Uh, which would take you to 2,000 uh in a bare market that follows this. So, I don't have any precise timing that says, okay, it starts right after the beginning of the year or anything like that. You got to top out first. But from wherever that top is, I believe we're looking at the biggest bare market we've had post 20 post 1929.

David Hunter Macro A global economic bust (recession and worse) will begin in 2027.
See quote
[5:04] I actually think the economy is very mixed... I don't think we're going to see prints in GDP that are going to be concerning. I think if anything, they're going to come in light. Um, and I think we are ultimately in 2027 moving towards a recession and maybe worse than that. I I'm calling for a global bust.

David Hunter Gold Gold will correct approximately 50% from its peak (potentially from $7,000 to around $3,500) during the global bust phase starting in 2027.
See quote
[37:34] Then if a global bust if this thing is kind of plays out in this time frame it may get stretched but um if the global bust follows that um I think you'll see very sharp corrections in both gold and silver. Uh gold obviously doesn't isn't as volatile as silver. um you know you might get a 50% backup in gold and more like a 75% backup in silver

David Hunter Silver Silver will correct approximately 60-75% from its peak (potentially from $200 down to around $50) during the global bust phase.
See quote
[37:53] um you know you might get a 50% backup in gold and more like a 75% backup in silver or it might be less but but something you know 40 to 50 on gold and probably 60 to 75% on silver. Um so if silver goes to 200 you may indeed get your $50 from up there not from here.

David Hunter Oil Oil will fall to the $30s during the global bust and then surge to $500 a barrel between 2028 and 2034.
See quote
[41:13] As much as I think oil can go down into the 30s during the global bust. So, you know, get down into the 60s here and then when bust hits, maybe be down into the 30s. From there, I think oil can go, which would be, you know, 2028 and beyond. I think oil can go to $500 a barrel. So, you'll go from, you know, $30 or $40 a barrel to $500 a barrel probably between 2028 and 2034.

David Hunter Inflation Rate Hyperinflation of approximately 25% will emerge in the US by the early 2030s following money printing in response to the deflationary bust.
See quote
[29:02] that's where you create the hyperinflationary environment that shuts down the printing press... and I argue that next time around this time we have deflation next time around because of the response to that deflationary bust we're going to have hyperinflation by the time we get to the early 2030s so that such that you could have 25% inflation in this country maybe worse elsewhere
