NS fans turn up for Crosby's homecoming | SaltWireNEW YORK - The Federal Reserve's stance of"higher for longer" on interest rates has become a major challenge and the economy is already showing signs that it is so, said DoubleLine Capital Chief Executive Officer Jeff Gundlach.
"It's a problem," Gundlach, noting that the stock market"has already figured it out and it doesn't help that bond yields have gone up." He spoke at an event organized by the investment manager in New York City. Yields on benchmark Treasury 10-year notes hit 4.806% and on 30-year bonds surged to 4.950% on Tuesday, both the highest since 2007. Gundlach said if the 10-year yield goes above 5%,"and we're not that far off, that would be a sticker shock."
The surge in Treasury yields undermined major stock indexes on Tuesday. The S&P 500 index closed on Tuesday at its lowest level since June 1, while the Dow turned negative for the year for the first time since June and ended at its lowest level since May 31. The Nasdaq also closed at its lowest since May 31.
"It's wise to be aware that there would be economic weakness in the first half of next year," Gundlach said, adding that he expects a rate cut in the same period as well.

Fed's Bostic: Rising long bond yields not having excessive impact on economyThe steady rise in long-term U.S. Treasury bond yields hasn't yet shown signs of slowing the economy more than would be expected in a typical Federal Reserve tightening cycle, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said on Tuesday, becoming the latest U.S. central bank official to discount the market-driven spike in borrowing costs. Should conditions tighten excessively because of different market forces, Bostic said it could prompt him to review a policy path that currently sees the Fed holding its benchmark overnight interest rate steady in the current 5.25%-5.50% range until near the end of next year, when rate cuts might begin. But even though he agreed that recent jumps in long-term yields have been unusual, Bostic joined several of his colleagues in downplaying their relevance to policy - at least so far.
