Economyという言葉は今では非常に身近な英語ですが、元々の語源はギリシア語の「家」を表す「Oikos」と「秩序」を表す「Nomos」からなっている合成語で、「知恵を持って家庭を治める」というところから由来しているそうです。

What is it about?

Some investors buy bonds when they see a slight sign that the Fed cut rates, easing inflation. They think that when inflation moderates, the range of increases for bonds is more extensive than for stocks. Besides that, stocks might have already reached near records. An analyst says that if inflation becomes higher again, stocks likely drop. Whether inflation increases or decreases, stocks might not move upward powerfully.

That's a strategic insight on hedging against inflation. How do you think the real estate market will respond to the expected slowdown in inflation and the potential boost in housing demand?

Housing costs will ease. When inflation slows down, the Fed cuts interest rates, which lower housing costs. Therefore, the demand for housing increases.
