What happened

Well supportedReported by 9 independent outlets

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Higher borrowing costs and soaring US bond yields are increasing the cost of capital. Investors are increasingly pricing in potential future rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, which is compressing the present value of cash flows and negatively affecting high-growth stock valuations.

The Federal Reserve is signaling potential rate hikes to curb rising inflation, which is being exacerbated by conflict in the Middle East driving up energy prices.
