U.S. Treasury Yield Curve

One of the driving factors in both the economic picture and the capital markets is the expectation of rising interest rates. The Federal Reserve has now confirmed that it will begin raising rates in March 2022, and it will at the same time conclude its asset purchase program. This end to the COVID-19 monetary stimulus program is designed to fight the strong increase in inflation trends that was present in the second half of 2021 and continues into this year.

The most important economic data point right now is the rate of inflation. As prices have moved higher, there are growing concerns about systemic inflation arising out of the tight labor market and continuing problems in the supply chain. For example, Ford Motor announced that it is shuttering a production facility due to the shortage of computer chips. Supply shortages and rising wages make for a potent inflation formula.
