Show Notes

With the Federal Reserve raising interest rates, Capital Group portfolio manager John Queen discusses his outlook for the U.S. bond market, short- and long-term interest rates, and the important role that bond funds can play in a diversified investment portfolio.

Listen and learn:

  • Why U.S. interest rates are likely to stay "lower for longer" despite Fed tightening
  • How a lack of inflation is complicating the Fed's attempt to normalize monetary policy
  • What stimulus withdrawal could mean for financial asset prices

You'll also hear John's pick to win the Super Bowl. Hint, it's not the Patriots.

Your host Matt Miller is the policy and communications advisor for Capital Group. An author and former Washington Post columnist, Matt was co-host of the public radio program Left, Right & Center.
