Demand is outstripping supply, and that’s driving up the prices of what is available. Of course, sustained elevated interest rates would have negative consequences for bond markets, real estate, durable goods, and so on. The risk to the tech cycle is, how far will the Fed push up interest rates to combat inflation?
