So it appears the stock market is now being viewed as an inflation hedge.

Guess no one remembers the 1970s…

Bond investors clearly see #recession, and are pricing in the first rate cuts as early as 2023. But what they don't see is that despite a recession #inflation will stay high. If they do cut inflation will get worse, so they may keep hiking. Either way, #bond investors get killed!
