- We spoke with Strategas Chief Investment Strategist Jason Trennert on why his team is bullish on the market despite recent volatility and key unknowns like interest rates, inflation, and tax policy.
- Trennert says they are not overly worried about long-term rates, especially when they’re moving higher for “the right reasons” - i.e., higher growth expectations.
- It's not until the Fed starts to fight inflation aggressively that it becomes a real problem for the market. The fact that the Fed isn't worrying about it means that at least for this year, the market can withstand higher inflation.
