FAQ

Why Bearish?

Persistently high inflation and tariffs could reduce consumer spending, adversely affecting corporate profits, including S&P 500 constituents. Historically, similar scenarios have led to stock market declines, such as the 1970s stagflation period.

How important is it?

Inflation and interest rate policies are crucial for market performance, influencing S&P 500 valuations directly.

Why Short Term?

Immediate concerns regarding inflation and tariffs may affect market sentiment, but a longer-term rebound is possible if the Fed successfully navigates these challenges—as seen post-2008 crisis recovery.
