Harsh reality of ‘higher-for-longer’ rates looms over U.S. stocks

As the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance boosts Treasury yields and slams stocks, some investors are preparing for more pain ahead.

Higher yields on Treasuries - which are sensitive to interest rate expectations and seen as risk free because they are backed by the U.S. government - offer investment competition to stocks while raising the cost of borrowing for corporations and households.

AQR’s analysis showed that trend-following hedge funds tend to outperform when rates are elevated, as they hold large cash positions that benefit from higher rates. “Investors are going to be even more worried that we could enter into a recession as the cost of borrowing is increasing and corporate margins will be squeezed,” he said.
