Markets are having a difficult time pricing in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy pivot. As you are well aware, inflation has become a major problem for the economy and the Fed has now begun their battle to tame it. The Fed’s inflation fighting tools will be to raise short term interest rates (Fed Funds) to what they consider a neutral level (perhaps 2.5%) and reduce the Fed’s balance sheet (sell assets/bonds) which has ballooned in recent years. In the meantime, bond and stock prices have fallen since the beginning of the year as investors struggle to position for the battle ahead. If you would like to review your portfolio with us to make sure you are positioned correctly, give us call and come by for a visit.
