As part of this commentary, we point out 5 prevailing challenges for the market
and inflation outlook and possible Fed actions in response to these challenges.

High Inflation is Likely Here to Stay



DON’T FOCUS ON THE WRONG THINGS: THE MONTHLY CPI REPORT DISTRACTION

Hockey season is here, and my favorite team, the New York Rangers, are off to a
lackluster start. While disappointing, this provides a great opportunity to
interject a sports analogy: hockey defensemen are taught to keep their eyes on
the body, not the puck. The puck moves fast. Instead, focus on the shoulders to
know where the puck is going.

Why is this relevant? The market seems to be “playing poor defense” by watching
the puck. Every data point is overanalyzed to the point of exhaustion. The
October CPI number came in at 0.40% versus expectations of 0.60%. The “better
than expected” interpretation of the inflation report sent the U.S. 10-year
Treasury note yield down from 4.09% to 3.84%, and, as a result, risky
assets rallied.

The week before, the Federal Reserve (Fed) increased interest rates by another
75 basis points. Market strategists then feverishly went to work on Fed Chairman
Jerome Powell. They dissected his mannerisms, the specific words he used, and
the tone in which they were spoken. Mr. Powell’s perceived hawkishness sent
interest rates higher and risky assets down.

The reality is that both of these events hardly provided any real insights. The
uncertainty around inflation, interest rates, and a recession remain. That,
however, does not stop the markets from overreacting. We believe the short-term
focus of the markets creates opportunities.


LET’S TRY IT THIS WAY: 5 PREVAILING CHALLENGES FOR THE MARKET AND
INFLATION OUTLOOK

When contextualizing inflation, put yourself in a defenseman’s skates, and do
not be mesmerized by the puck. Instead, focus on the body (problems) to
anticipate where the puck (market) is going:

 1. Inflation remains very high but is decelerating
 2. Government debt is very high and continues to grow
 3. Historically, inflationary events have lasted a long time, with several
    peaks and troughs within
 4. The cure for inflation (tighter policy) is “kryptonite” to an overleveraged
    economy
 5. The Fed fights recessions with looser monetary policy, which is inflationary

Consequently, this leaves the Fed in the most unfortunate of economic situations
with no great options. We have long said that the idea of a soft landing is a
fairytale. Fed Powell now seemingly agrees and recently acknowledged that the
window for a soft landing has “narrowed.”

The most reasonable outcome, in our view, is that the Fed will become less
aggressive in its fight against inflation. More specifically, higher interest
rates may eventually have a devastating impact on economic activity and the
financial markets. We expect the Fed to be forced to pivot with inflation
significantly higher than its 2% target. Ultimately, this inflation cycle will
probably follow the predictable path of previous inflation cycles: It will last
a long time!


THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE: REAL ASSETS AND HIGH-YIELDING INVESTMENTS

Our preferred investment solutions to navigate the current environment are real
assets and high-income generating assets. Real assets are time-tested inflation
hedges. VanEck offers a broad suite of inflation-fighting assets. Amongst them,
the VanEck Inflation Allocation ETF (RAAX) seeks to provide a “one-stop”
solution to inflation protection.

The recent surge in interest rates has created compelling investment
opportunities. The following chart demonstrates the advantages of
high-income-generating investments in different inflation regimes.


INCOMING! AVERAGE 3-YEAR RETURN OF HIGH INCOME INDICES AT U.S. CPI
ABOVE/BELOW 5%*



Source: Bloomberg. Data as of September 30, 2022.*Note: time period of
evaluation varies based on each index’s respective start date (Bloomberg U.S.
Mortgage Backed Securities Index since January 1976; Bloomberg U.S. Corporate
High Yield Bond Index since July 1983; J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index
since December 1993; Alerian MLP Index since December 1995). Benchmark index
returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage
expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors
cannot invest directly in the Index. Index descriptions included at the end of
this presentation.

High inflation regimes, as defined as 5% or above, are typically associated with
higher interest rates. Until recently, we have been critical of most
income-generating assets because of low yields and surging interest rates. That
has changed. There is likely limited upward mobility in interest rates from here
and current yields offer a significant cushion against both inflation and future
rate hikes. This has led us to launch the VanEck Dynamic High Income ETF (INC).
It offers diversified income by actively allocating to high-yielding segments of
the market. Learn more about INC in this Q&A.

Thank you for reading. We aim to provide you with thoughtful market insights and
actionable investment ideas. This month’s insight was to look beyond the manic
behavior of the markets and see the big trends. Remember, raise the cup by
focusing on the body and not the puck!

Bloomberg U.S. Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) Index tracks fixed-rate agency
mortgage backed pass-through securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (GNMA), Fannie
Mae (FNMA), and Freddie Mac (FHLMC). The index is constructed by grouping
individual TBA-deliverable MBS pools into aggregates or generics based on
program, coupon and vintage.

Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index measures the USD-denominated,
high yield, fixed-rate corporate bond market. Securities are classified as high
yield if the middle rating of Moody's, Fitch and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below.
Bonds from issuers with an emerging markets country of risk, based on Bloomberg
EM country definition, are excluded.

J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index is an unmanaged, market-capitalization
weighted, total-return index tracking the traded market for
U.S.-dollar-denominated Brady bonds, Eurobonds, traded loans, and local market
debt instruments issued by sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities.

Alerian MLP Index is the leading gauge of energy infrastructure Master Limited
Partnerships (MLPs). It is a capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted
index, whose constituents earn the majority of their cash flow from midstream
activities involving energy commodities.

Consumer Price Index is an index of the variation in prices paid by typical
consumers for retail goods and other items. Bloomberg Commodity Index is a
broadly diversified index that tracks the commodity markets through commodity
futures contracts and is made up of exchange–traded futures on physical
commodities, which are weighted to account for economic significance and market
liquidity. S&P 500 Index is widely regarded as the best single gauge of
large–cap U.S. equities. The index is a float–adjusted, market–cap–weighted
index of 500 leading U.S. companies from across all market sectors including
information technology, telecommunications services, utilities, energy,
materials, industrials, real estate, financials, health care, consumer
discretionary, and consumer staples.

Benchmark index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management
fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding
taxes. Investors cannot invest directly in the Index. Returns for actual Fund
investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the
amount invested and fees and expenses. Index returns assume that dividends have
been reinvested.
