What Happens When Rates Rise but the Economy Stays Strong? - Quarterly Edge: Q4 2026
What market and economic themes are we watching as we head into the fourth quarter? In this edition of Blue Chip Partners' Quarterly Edge, the conversation breaks down the current state of the U.S. economy, stock market, and bond market, from resilient consumer spending and strong corporate earnings to higher interest rates and changing opportunities in fixed income. The discussion explores why the U.S. economy has remained on relatively solid footing despite inflation and higher rates, how shifting market leadership and valuations are shaping the outlook for stocks, and why today's higher yields may be creating a different environment for bond investors. In This Episode Why consumer spending plays a major role in U.S. economic growth What strong S&P 500 earnings growth could mean for the stock market Do Fed rate hikes generally have the same implications in an expanding economy? Why selectivity matters as valuations vary significantly across the market What higher Treasury yields mean for bonds and fixed-income investors "I think you have to be selective. You have to know what you own." - Daniel Dusina, CFA Explore more market insights and resources: https://hubs.li/Q04zKrBw0 Disclaimer: The information provided herein, whether charts, articles, or any other statements regarding market or other financial information, has been obtained from sources considered to be reliable, but we do not guarantee that the foregoing material is accurate or complete.
