Lenders at risk and weakened economy: The dangers of higher-for-longer rates

Morgan Stanley Investment Management Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager Andrew Slimmon recently shared his insights with Wealth! about the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged following a two-day meeting. Slimmon explained that while keeping rates steady could potentially weaken the economy, a clear indication of economic weakening has not yet been observed. He suggested that investors should monitor the two-year yield, particularly in relation to the ten-year yield, as an indicator of economic health. An inverted yield curve, where the two-year yield is higher than the ten-year yield, could signal potential economic weakness.

Slimmon also noted that inflation remains a key factor in the Fed’s decision to keep rates unchanged. However, he believes that there are other factors at play as well, such as trade tensions and global economic growth. As an investor, Slimmon advised staying informed about market trends and opportunities by tuning in to Wealth! for expert insights from financial professionals like himself.
