One notable segment of analysis examines interest rates from 1962 to 1982, indicating sharp rises that occurred during a period when the S&P 500 gained 107% from 1962 to 1968. However, as rates reached a tipping point coupled with economic factors, significant declines followed. This past data serves as a pertinent reminder that while rising rates can initially stimulate market growth, they may eventually exert downward pressure on market momentum.
