No one knows how high interest rates will go. Interest rates are approximately the floor of what a very low risk return on capital looks like, especially for an average citizen. If they approach 7% and stay there as some think is possible, I would expect stocks to keep selling off, especially if public co revenues don't continue to grow rapidly as the economic "slowdown" continues (not worth arguing exactly what constitutes a recession). |

One thing you might be looking at, though, is if high interest rates somehow affect a given business. If a business relies on being able to get a lot of debt readily and cheaply they might be worse option than one that does not.
