After a strong start to the year, market volatility seems to have returned. While we would expect market volatility to continue near-term, we are also watching for key inflection points that may indicate the early innings of a more sustainable rally ahead. We highlight three potential conditions that we believe would support better market returns longer term: 1) inflation moving lower, 2) the Federal Reserve pausing its rate-hiking cycle, and 3) earnings revisions bottoming.

A summary of last week's market highlights and economic news.

• This year the Fed raised rates at a pace not seen since the '70s and '80s, aiming to reduce demand and slow the pace of inflation. As a result, bonds experienced the largest sell-off since records started in 1926, failing to provide their typical diversification benefits.
• As we approach the end of the Fed's tightening cycle and a potential peak in yields, we believe a lot of the bond-price adjustment is now behind us. History also tells us these peaks generally occur about two months ahead of the last Fed rate hike which we think will occur in the first half of next year.
• We see attractive opportunities forming in fixed-income asset classes across bond maturities, as higher yields enhance return potential. With interest rates meaningfully higher now than at the start of 2022, we believe bonds are better positioned to provide diversification benefits.
