This week in the podcast, we take a look at the historical playbook around Fed tapering and hiking, and what it means for our US equity market outlook. We’ve moved into the flattening camp on multiples, as Fed rate hikes are historically a headwind for forward P/E’s. While we don’t think these trades are done playing out yet, we think Fed tapering and rate hikes, and the cooling off of economic growth that’s already anticipated for 2023, put a potential expiration date on the rotation into Value, Cyclicals, and Small Caps.
