Expensive Credit\nIt has been 40 years since the prime U.S. lending rate exceeded 20%, back when former Fed Chair Paul Volcker waged a lasting battle against runaway inflation.\nSince then, generations of U.S. homeowners have been able to snap up 30-year fixed rate mortgage rates at 5% and they are now nearer to 3%.\n\"Obviously, what inflation means differs for savers and Main Street from Wall Street,\" said Nela Richardson, ADP's chief economist, adding that people still bought homes and took out home loans when mortgage rates were at 18% in the 1980s.\n\"Bond investors are more confident in an economy that requires higher yields to hold relatively safe assets,\" Richardson said, but he added that markets tend to get jittery if higher yields end up meaning \"the end of cheap money and virtually free credit.\"\nTrillions of dollars worth of pandemic fiscal stimulus from Congress coursing through the economy, just as more U.S. vaccinations potentially lead to a broader reopening of businesses this summer, could put inflation expectations to the test.\n\"Because we haven't seen inflation since Volcker, I think market participants are concerned this could unleash it,\" said Brian Kloss, global credit portfolio manager at Brandywine Global.\nKloss said \"basic industries, commodities and companies that have pricing power,\" should do well for shareholders in an inflationary environment, but he also cautioned that in the coming few weeks, following spring break gatherings, that the U.S. will have more clues as to the status of the COVID-19 threat.\nIf the U.S. can avoid a spike in new coronavirus cases, unlike Europe where further lockdowns remain a threat, it \"could be one of the first signs of a robust summer, heading into fall,\" he said.\nMeanwhile, the bond market appears to already be signaling it has embraced the Fed's commitment to keeping monetary policy accommodative for some time to come, said Robert Tipp, PGIM Fixed Income's chief investment strategist.\nHe pointed to Treasury break-even rates that recently topped 2% as a signal that the bond market expects inflation to creep up from emergency levels, based on break-evens, an indicator of future price pressures .\nBut even if 10-year rates climb back to 3% and inflation rises along with the Fed's new 6.9% GDP growth forecast for this year, Tripp expects both to fall back to the lower levels familiar over the past four-decades.\nAfter the 2008 global financial crisis, people were forecasting \"inflation Armageddon\" and that the \"Fed would never be able to get out of that policy\" of quantitative easing, he said.\n\"But of course they did,\" Tipp said.\nNext week will bring a deluge of U.S. economic data. Monday and Tuesday will see the release of existing and new homes sales for February. Wednesday brings February's durable goods orders, as well as preliminary March manufacturing and services sector index updates.\nIt's weekly jobless benefit claims data on Thursday and the final estimate of fourth quarter GDP, while Friday will show the latest data on personal incomes, consumer spending, core inflation for February and the latest consumer sentiment index reading.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":86,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":359815809,"gmtCreate":1616381349701,"gmtModify":1704793273683,"author":{"id":"3578575936424883","authorId":"3578575936424883","name":"junkai888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7099ce3b6596db2c54016a606f9b395","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578575936424883","authorIdStr":"3578575936424883"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I am not worried","listText":"I am not worried","text":"I am not worried","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/359815809","repostId":"2120415143","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":86,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
