These sectors are better positioned to benefit from rising prices.“The deceleration in the consumer price index for July is likely a big relief for the Federal Reserve,” says Nancy Davis, portfolio manager of the Quadratic Interest Rate Volatility and Inflation Hedge ETF (IVOL).  “If we continue to see declining inflation prints, the Federal Reserve may start to slow the pace of monetary tightening.” Still, with consumer prices running hot, investors should continue to protect their portfolios against inflation. 

This includes gaining exposure to companies with pricing power or dividend-paying stocks, which can help cushion the impact of inflation. Additionally, there are several sectors that are considered more “inflation-proof” than others, including consumer staples, utilities and real estate. “It’s always important for investors to be diversified,” Davis says. And adding these types of assets to your investing lineup can offer diversification and create a solid portfolio that can withstand elevated levels of inflation.
