The Motley Fool +1 · ·by G4L

  1. 1The New York Times estimates that inflation is currently rising at an annual rate of approximately 4%.
  2. 2According to the CME Group FedWatch tool, analysts see a 100% probability of an interest rate hike in December.
  3. 3The S&P 500 index is trading at a CAPE ratio of approximately 40.

So what's the key point?

With prices rising by 4 percent every year, it is very likely that interest rates will go up. Since stock prices are somewhat expensive compared to earnings, the market could face difficulties.
