The Fed Raises Rates
On May 4, 2022, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), as expected, announced a 0.50% increase in the overnight Fed Funds rate in response to increasing pressure to control inflation. While the markets initially reacted positively, this was followed by a sharp downturn, and we anticipate ongoing volatility as the markets and the economy absorb this move and the probability of future rate hikes.
 
Klingenstein Fields Advisors continues to believe in long-term investing, and we seek to avoid emotional decision-making based on short-term market shifts. However, we are carefully watching the markets and monitoring portfolios to identify the potential to control risk or benefit from investment opportunities that may arise.
 
We understand that the current market activity may be causing anxiety and stress, and we are here as a trusted resource to help you navigate through uncertain times. We encourage to reach out to us with any questions you may have by phone at 212.492.7000 or email us at info@klingenstein.com.
