We’ll also cover how the Federal Reserve fights inflation – namely, with interest rates – and how those changes in rates can spill over into the markets and economy. Finally, we’ll recap some of the opportunities that might arise as a result of all of this and how we as a firm can start to manage inflation and interest rate risk on behalf of clients.
