Bonds and the War on Inflation

As inflation continues to challenge double digits the Fed has launched an aggressive attack by raising interest rates.  Decades of near-zero, zero, and negative rates globally created a “risk-on” approach to investing, allowing risk assets of all types to march upward almost uninterrupted.  The pandemic and actions of global governments and central banks to add liquidity has allowed unprecedented valuations in most asset classes.  However, the price for all that liquidity is now at hand — Inflation.  The economic lag of the “accommodative” monetary policies took approximately 18 months and central banks are using multiple tools to achieve “full employment and price stability”.  As a result bond prices have dropped sharply and rates have risen.  As U.S. elections approach in November it is time to assess the impact for all corporations and individuals.  Market disruptions as seen the last few months create opportunity in multiple areas if approached wisely.
