Views from 6,230: Jay Hatfield Says Fed Is Too Hawkish
Host Ryan Nauman welcomes Jay Hatfield of Infrastructure Capital Advisors to discuss how Federal Reserve policy, rising Treasury yields, oil prices, and tightening financial conditions are shaping markets.
Hatfield argues the Fed is overly hawkish, criticizes inflation measurement (especially shelter and PCE), and says higher rates are driving a housing recession and tightening high-yield credit. He explains his view that the 10-year yield typically trades about 100 bps above terminal Fed funds and expects only one more hike with stabilization near 5%, with oil and Strait of Hormuz dynamics key to the outlook.
Despite macro risks and potential “breakage” from aggressive tightening, he remains bullish on equities due to strong, rising earnings, using discounted cash flow and PEG discipline to avoid overpaying, highlighting opportunities in technology and financials, and discussing his “dogs of the DAQ” valuation framework and covered-call approach.
