As the Federal Reserve continues to move interest rates higher, investor concerns around the market impact continue to make headline news. The question arises, do rising interest rates produce negative stock market returns? While rising interest rates could certainly give way to higher volatility in 2022, history tells us rising interest rates do not necessarily lead to a stock market decline. In fact, the opposite has been true! History shows us that the past 13 periods of Federal Reserve rate increases have produced positive market returns 11 times. Perception versus reality may cause investors to feel uncertainty even if history shows the contrary. This uncertainty can lead to can lead to abrupt market selloffs and poor investor decision-making. Preparing for these inevitable periods of market sentiment can be empowering for investors.
