Title: "Does Hiking Damage Your Wealth?"
Abstract
Investors are preoccupied with the impact on financial markets of changes in central-bank interest rates. We use over a century of daily US returns together with 85 years of UK data to examine the immediate effect of rate hikes and cuts on stock and bond markets. We also look globally at the impact of interest rate changes on equity and bond returns using annual data for 21 countries from 1900 to 2015. Using a trading strategy that avoids look-ahead bias, we compare returns over entire interest rate hiking and easing cycles for equities, bonds, bills, currencies, and risk premia. We analyze long-term returns from industry sectors and factors such as size, value, carry and momentum, and also study real asset returns since 1900 on precious metals, collectibles and real estate. In all cases, hiking cycles damage your wealth compared to easing cycles.
