Why higher interest rates matter ⏳

[ Join Hedge Fund Alpha, and get access to the Hedge Fund Letter Vault for the next 7 days ]( Yesterday Jerome Powell indicated that the FED will be pausing their rate hikes. They’re still concerned about rising inflation but are satisfied with the current trajectory and are confident in the current rates’ ability to lower the inflation rate over time. As investors, the next 6-9 months will be a great time. Markets like predictability, and in all likelihood the rates will remain constant going to Q2-Q3. Around then, the FED will start lowering rates. This is where the danger is. The next 6-9 months could really throw investors because they will likely continue to see gains in their portfolios, perhaps thinking we’re on the edge of a great bull run. But this is likely to be a bull trap. Because historically when the FED starts lowering rates, there’s a major market crash. It happened in 1987, 2000 and 2008. Most investors won’t be ready for it.
