How Higher Interest Rates Alter Our Financial Blueprint | Money For the Rest of Us Podcast
We explore six impacts of higher interest rates on housing, capital projects, stock buybacks, excess returns for stocks, bonds, and other asset classes, and individual opportunity costs.
Topics covered include:
- Where current interest rates stand
- Central banker predictions for how long cash yields will stay this high
- Why housing is the least affordable since the early 1980s
- Why new apartment building construction has collapsed
- What has been the excess return for stocks, bonds, and other asset classes when interest rates are higher and lower
- Why there will be fewer stock buybacks and how that can impact earnings per share
- Which alternative investments do better when short-term interest rates are higher
- Why financial opportunity costs have increased and how that should impact our investment and other financial decisions.
