Since April last year, the Fed has watched inflation run higher and higher. Front-end yields were patient too, then, given the monetary authority’s inflation-targeting framework. As the price footprints began getting stronger and stronger, the Fed kept dismissing it as transitory on a reasoning that inflation failed to really uncork above 2% in the longest post-war expansion before the pandemic struck, with the implicit suggestion being there is no reason to suspect this time would be different.

Although the Fed is poised to step on the brakes to tackle the highest rate of inflation in four decades, we don’t expect the yields of US equities and Treasuries to rise to anywhere near their peaks in 1982 after the central bank jacked up rates.

But unlike in the 1980s, we don’t envisage big bear markets being followed by secular bull ones after inflation is brought back under control. The annual average real returns from US equities… Read the publication High inflation, tight monetary policy, valuations and returns on the Capital Economics Website.

The yield curve is simply the spread between long-term and short-term interest rates. Short-term rates tend to be more influenced by central banks and monetary policy to stimulate the economy, support employment and maintain price stability. Long-term rates are typically impacted by underlying supply and demand forces. Yield Curve Explained: Under normal conditions, interest rates on longer-term debt are higher than rates on shorter-term debt. This phenomenon makes sense because there is an opportunity cost when investors tie up their money in bonds for 10 or 20 years instead of one or two years. Investors often use the spread between 10-year U.S. Treasury yields and 2-year U.S. Treasury yields as a gauge of future growth or potential economic downturns.
