Despite Core CPI falling from a 6.6% peak down to 2.4% faster than during the 1990s disinflation cycle, hawkish policy rhetoric continues to raise the specter of additional rate hikes. With the 30-year Treasury yield elevated above 5%, corporate bonds and preferreds trade at deep dollar discounts driven purely by interest rate adjustments.

The S&P 500 Could Go Nowhere For A Decade

Relying on a 10% annual S&P 500 return is risky; historical averages mask long periods of stagnation or underperformance, especially after inflation. Recent market outperformance was driven by top-heavy AI-related growth, low inflation, and accommodative policy—conditions that may not persist.

Coherent: Margin Expansion Clears The Path For A Higher P/E

AI trade faces a "PR problem" despite strong fundamentals, says analyst

Paul Meeks of Freedom Capital Markets says AI's public-image problem could weigh on the trade through the U.S. midterms, even as earnings and spending signals remain robust. His chief concern is rising U.S. interest rates, which could raise funding costs for debt-reliant AI infrastructure builders and pressure long-duration tech valuations.
