XLC - The Inflation Fiddler Is Climbing To The Roof Dragging Yields With It
- For many decades, there was a long-standing, traditional, link between the economy and monetary policy. That link got broken in 2008, and it hasn't fully recovered ever since.
- We've already got used to living with stocks that are trading way ahead of the economy, but can we live with yields that are trading way behind the economy?
- It seems as if the Fed's Powell has made his mind, keeping the official monetary policy intact, while allowing/hoping for yields to do the "dirty job" for him.
- Higher growth rate, higher inflation, higher yields, even a rate hike on the horizon. The macro landscape is changing fast, and we must adjust rapidly.
