Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist for Hightower, provided commentary to Business Insider on October 16, 2026. Link noted that consumer spending has been the primary support for a growing economy. She also discussed the growing interest in fixed income as 10-year Treasury yields approach a 6% coupon, noting that a record $166 billion was poured into money market funds last week.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The commentary highlights a potential shift in investor allocation from stocks to fixed income, driven by rising bond yields. However, Link maintains that equities still offer long-term potential, pointing out that a guaranteed 6% coupon is lower than the S&P 500's inflation-adjusted 7.7% annual average.
