Howard Marks: This Is the Single Biggest Equity Market Risk

Howard Marks: This Is the Single Biggest Equity Market Risk

Howard Marks said at the 2018 Delivering Alpha Conference on July 23 that the Fed’s hawkish stance is the single biggest risk for the equity market (SPY). After maintaining ultra-low interest rates (TLT)(SHY) for a decade, the Fed has been continuing its gradual rate hike process since December 2015. It already hiked its key interest rate for the seventh time between December 2015 and June 2018, each time by 25 basis points.
