★Forget Rate Cuts: What if the Fed Needs to Hike Rates in 2026?
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"Markets are pricing in rate cuts, but this story challenges that assumption, suggesting the Fed might *raise* rates instead. This shift would fundamentally alter investment strategies, impacting everything from bond yields to equity valuations and potentially slowing economic growth. Investors need to consider this less-expected scenario."
