What stands out

Jim Bullard’s blunt question, are policymakers ready to tolerate 3 percent inflation, landed on Charles Schwab’s channel at a moment when global bond yields are ratcheting higher and investors are rethinking risk. The conversation matters because a ‘higher for longer’ rate regime reshuffles winners and losers: income strategies and fixed-income allocations get more attention, while rate-sensitive growth faces pressure.
