I have been making comments that it is is not so much the fact that rates are rising that causes the stock market to throw a tantrum but rather the pace at which they rise. I took a look at data going back to 1998 and what we have just witnessed is the fastest spike in rates ever in that period. And, yes, the stock market is throwing a bit of a tantrum. So I decided to take a look at how this truly impacts the stock market over the next 63 days (one quarter of trading).
