Kevin Ellman and Elizabeth D’Aleo are joined by Kara Murphy, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at Kestra Investment Management to examine the impact on the economy of pandemic-related supply chain disruption. They discuss such topics as: How have production, transportation and scarcity issues affected pricing? How are companies adjusting to the challenges of supply chain disruption? Will prices start to ease over time, or are they here to stay? What are market expectations for long term interest rates? How worried is the FED about inflation? How should you adjust your investment portfolio in light of these issues?
