There is a small benefit. However it’s a negative to the lenders which include many socially advantageous institutions like pension funds which purchase securitized debt.

The negatives are so numerous it’s a struggle to find any upsides. Luckily I am rich and own property with government-subsidized fixed rate mortgages so I will ride out all the terrible outcomes with a shrug.



While your stock portfolio drops massively as people move to i-bonds/commodities and your property prices fall as well since noone can afford to buy property at the higher interest rates.


Why would anything drop massively when they are endlessly printing money and handing it out? And yes commodities are an obvious choice during inflation. I am very bullish on oil.


Because endlessly is about to end.
