Financial markets are still priced on the assumption that inflation will soon go away
If it doesn’t, then the rosy precedents from the last four decades that rising rates don’t hurt share prices are invalid.
If inflation is low and doesn’t subsequently increase much, then higher rates don’t hurt stocks, yes.
But inflation isn’t low, and we have a lot of money betting on it coming down quickly.
If that doesn’t happen, markets have a lot more adjustment ahead of them.
