The S&P 500 has roared higher over more than three years, extending a bull market, with investors piling into artificial intelligence (AI) stocks and other growth players. The famous benchmark is heading for an increase of about 100% since the start of 2023. Investors have been eager to get in on the next big thing in technology, and in recent years, the generally positive economic backdrop has buoyed demand for growth-oriented stocks. But in more recent times, one stubborn problem has knocked on the door: rising inflation. Turmoil in Iran has led to surging energy prices, and that's weighed on households and the corporate world. The Federal Reserve stepped in last month, doing something for the first time in three years. Policymakers lifted the benchmark interest rate, the federal funds rate, by a quarter point to the range of 3.75% to 4%. And the Fed just warned that more rate hikes are likely coming. Against this backdrop, history has good and bad news for investors.
