The Fed has embarked on a rate hike cycle and one more hike in December seems baked in. Treasury yields hovering at higher than 5% seem to portend more hikes.
Asian yields started rising and PE peaked a year ago. Foreign flows, also impacted by US yields, dropped massively in 2025-26. Valuations and flows are anticipating the bad news already.
Banks, insurance and basic materials should do well in an inflationary and tighter monetary environment. These sectors are also cheap in relation to their future earnings growth and ROE.
