Episode Details
Back to EpisodesRates, Inflation and the Case for Rebalancing
Description
Treasury yields moved sharply higher, creating new headwinds for equities and driving rotation beneath the market’s surface. The team examines how elevated diesel and oil prices could sustain inflation, complicate the Fed’s policy path and increase the risk of a policy error. With yields offering more competition for investor capital, portfolios may benefit from reassessing risk-asset exposure and considering opportunities in fixed income. Investors should continue monitoring energy prices, geopolitical developments, Treasury volatility and upcoming FOMC decisions. Hear additional market and investment perspectives during the Key Wealth National Call: Countdown to the Midterms — Politics, Policy, and Your Portfolio on September 29, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET.
