New Fed chair faces inflation test — prepare for bond market turbulence

The new head of the Federal Reserve is facing pressure to raise interest rates to fight inflation, even as politicians want them lowered.

Idea

If the central bank raises interest rates, the value of existing bonds goes down because new bonds will pay higher interest rates. The bond market is already showing signs of stress as investors dump bonds in anticipation of higher rates. This creates a downward trend for bond prices.
