The US Federal Reserve (Fed) decided on another large rate hike on Wednesday. For the fourth time in a row, it raised the key interest rate by 0.75 percentage points. This is therefore between 3.75 and 4.00 percent.
For the stock markets, rising interest rates are basically a disadvantage. This makes other, less risky asset classes more attractive. It can also weigh on companies when money gets more expensive. Because then consumption becomes more expensive for consumers, as well as the loans of the companies themselves.
“The equity markets tend to move in the opposite direction to interest rates. But there are also winners,” explains financial editor Andreas Neuhaus in this new episode of Handelsblatt Today. The asset manager JP Morgan has analyzed which stocks have historically benefited from rising interest rates. Neuhaus presents the results in an interview with host Lena Jesberg.
