Welcome to 2 Question Tuesday. This week’s questions were:

1. What’s your reaction to the surge in the Producer Price Index?
2. What’s going on in the bond market?

Phil, Mike, and Larry discuss how the Iran War caused a spike in the Producer Price Index, a key inflation number. In April, the PPI rose 1.4 percent, the fastest one-month increase in four years, and jumped 6 percent from a year ago, nearly triple what forecasters had expected. They then talk about how inflation fears caused a global bond rout which pushed the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond past 4.6% to hit its highest point in 15 months.
