Jeremy Siegel of Wharton says higher interest rates reduce the relative attractiveness of the stock market, particularly the segment outside technology. He added the US economy "can tolerate raising short-term rates," signaling resilience to further tightening.
Siegel noted that real long-term rates are roughly 3.5%, which he described as historically high. At that level, he argued, equities—especially non-tech stocks—lose appeal relative to fixed-income returns. #JeremySiegel #US #rates #equities #FiatNews
