Up … up … up—inflation has been rising, towering like Mount Everest over the economy. In response to this high inflation, on March 16, the U.S. Federal Reserve increased interest rates for the first time in about three years. Our Capital Markets Strategy mountaineers take a look at the path the Fed announcement may be climbing, hiking over areas like:

  • market reactions to the Fed announcement
  • quantitative tightening cycles
  • geopolitical risk in Eastern Europe
  • effects of fluctuating oil prices
  • recession and the 10-year Treasury yield.

Take your pitons, ropes, and harnesses—we’re about to ascend some interesting topics.
