We explore six impacts of higher interest rates on housing, capital projects, stock buybacks, excess returns for stocks, bonds, and other asset classes, and individual opportunity costs.
Topics covered include:
- Where current interest rates stand
- Central banker predictions for how long cash yields will stay this high
- Why housing is the least affordable since the early 1980s
- Why new apartment building construction has collapsed
- What has been the excess return for stocks, bonds, and other asset classes when interest rates are higher and lower
- Why there will be fewer stock buybacks and how that can impact earnings per share
- Which alternative investments do better when short-term interest rates are higher
- Why financial opportunity costs have increased and how that should impact our investment and other financial decisions.
