Investors are pricing in a higher likelihood that the Federal Reserve will hike rates after core CPI inflation rose in August more than economists had estimated.
However, a rate hike may not keep the US stock market from climbing higher, says Jonathan Shugar, head of Cross Asset Sales in Goldman Sachs FICC and Equities, on The Markets podcast. Companies reported strong earnings growth in the second quarter, and valuations near the 10-year average are not stretched, he explains.
Shugar also discusses why a Fed hike may not restrain investment in artificial intelligence, the risks in longer-term interest rates, and the potential opportunity for investors in consumer experience stocks. This episode was recorded on September 11, 2026.
