How Investors Can Prepare For Rate Hikes

U.S. equities are set to close another week under pressure; however, stocks were in the green Friday, Jan. 28, 2022.

While consensus calls for three to four rate hikes in March, some outlier expectations see as many as seven. Walser breaks down the market reaction to Fed activity as well as delivers insights into how both short and long-term investors can best position themselves ahead of the expected rate hikes.
