Cover Story: Inflation remained quiescent for several decades before surging in 2021 and 2022. Inflation subsequently decelerated in 2023 and 2024. This paper investigates how the increase and decrease in inflation after 2019 affected the U.S. stock market. To this end, a fully specified multi-factor model that measures the exposure of 54 assets to inflation, monetary policy, and other macroeconomic variables over the period from 1994 to 2019 is created. Inflation betas are then used to investigate how investor perceptions of inflation changed between 2020 and 2024. The results indicate that concerns surrounding inflation roiled the stock market over this period. The Fed’s anti-inflationary policies whipsawed markets even further. These findings highlight the dangers that arise when monetary policy allows inflation to accelerate. View this paper
