What inflation could mean for ETFs Fortune 15 hrs ago
Inflation hasn’t been this high since 2008 and every investor should be paying attention.
Between a spiking Consumer Price Index which measures changes in prices over time and labor shortages; hedge funds, pension funds and other large investors are keeping a close eye on what these indicators mean for the bottom lines of companies they’re investing in.
Inflation “is the number one concern among institutional investors,” says Rebecca Corbin, CEO of Corbin Advisors, whose institutional investor sentiment research shows that 69% of institutional investors expect inflation to continue to rise in the second half of this year.
As expected, the U.S. central bank decided to keep short-term interest rates anchored near zero as it buys at least $120 billion of bonds each month. The latter part of policy is a two-pronged effort to support an economy that grew strongly to start 2021 as well as to support market functioning at a time when 30-year mortgages still go for around 3%.
Despite noting the economic strength as well as inflation that is on the rise, if just temporarily, the policymaking Federal Open Market Committee unanimously decided to make no changes in its approach and gave no indications that things will change anytime soon.
