Signs of a recovery, albeit moderate, in the U.S. economy, are now evident. Rising inflation, fast-improving corporate earnings, moderate retail sales and last but not the least still-zero benchmark interest rates have been fueling optimism in the market. Still, rising rate concerns thanks to the Fed’s latest plan for QE tapering may dampen the Wall Street rally occasionally.Should You Worry?Probably not. Wall Street has been on a winning streak lately due to upbeat corporate earnings. Investors seem to have priced in the Fed tapering move. “In light of the substantial further progress the economy has made toward the committee’s goals since last December, the Committee decided to begin reducing the monthly pace of its net asset purchases,” the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee said in its updated policy statement on Nov 3. As of now, the Fed is purchasing about $120 billion worth of bonds per month.But the Fed said that it will gradually slow the pace of those purchases by about $15 billion per month, as part of a plan to bring its so-called quantitative easing program to a total stop by the middle of next year. The taper will start “later this month” and will continue at the $15 billion clip through December, although the change of the pace can happen should the need be.The U.S. benchmark treasury yield has moved up to 1.60% on Nov 3 in response to the Fed’s plan to start QE taring from this month.

In 2013, the U.S. benchmark treasury yield started the year with 1.86% while it ended with 3.04%.

In a growing economy, most sectors surge on a wealth effect, with a few of the more cyclical corners making the most of the rally. These industries often sag in a slumping economy but are the biggest winners during a revival. Cyclical sectors like energy, financials, materials and consumer discretionary should do better in the coming days.Financials – SPDR S&P Bank ETF KBEA rising rate environment will lead to a favorable operating environment for financial stocks.
