Betting on an upturn from here is betting on whether inflation has peaked and how much pain the Fed intends to inflict on investor portfolios. A neutral or more Dovish Fed will give the bulls footing to win back lost territory. The Fed’s rationale for tightening, which is wreaking havoc on portfolios, is to fight inflation. But as we have noted inflationary pressures is primarily due to geopolitics supply side disruptions causing energy and food commodities to skyrocket. Moreover, Fed chair Powell has admitted monetary policy tools cannot resolve supply side shocks from the war in Europe and the pandemic. In fact, we would argue that further tightening could trigger a wave of bankruptcies and disrupt further supply chains, thereby adding to inflation.

Moreover, with the US debt to GDP ratio at 129.18%, according to the US debt clock , the US government can not afford higher interest rates.
