Two days earlier, a front-page story in <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, titled \u201cPremium for Owning Stocks Vs. Bonds Disappears,\u201d noted that the equity risk premium \u2013 defined as the gap between the S&amp;P 500\u2019s earnings yield and the 10-year Treasury yield \u2013 had turned negative for the first time since 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common equity gauge, the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings (CAPE) ratio, has climbed to levels previously seen only twice in the past three decades: during the dot-com bubble and the post-pandemic recovery (see Figure 1). Those prior CAPE peaks occurred when Fed projections and consensus market forecasts called for U.S. growth of 3.5% to 4.7% annually. Today, however, growth is forecast to be only about 2% for 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-figure-1-cape-ratio-is-near-peak-levels\">Figure 1: CAPE ratio is near peak levels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"619\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/PIMCO_PIMCO_Perspectives_Seidner_Dhawan_Feb2025_Fig1_5404754-1100x619.jpg\" alt=\"CAPE ratio is near peak levels\" class=\"wp-image-202316 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/PIMCO_PIMCO_Perspectives_Seidner_Dhawan_Feb2025_Fig1_5404754-1100x619.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/PIMCO_PIMCO_Perspectives_Seidner_Dhawan_Feb2025_Fig1_5404754-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/PIMCO_PIMCO_Perspectives_Seidner_Dhawan_Feb2025_Fig1_5404754-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/PIMCO_PIMCO_Perspectives_Seidner_Dhawan_Feb2025_Fig1_5404754-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/PIMCO_PIMCO_Perspectives_Seidner_Dhawan_Feb2025_Fig1_5404754-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/PIMCO_PIMCO_Perspectives_Seidner_Dhawan_Feb2025_Fig1_5404754-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/619;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Shiller Data as of 31 January 2025.

The Trade Policy Uncertainty (TPU) Index is constructed by staff in the International Finance Division of the Federal Reserve Board and measures media attention to news related to trade policy uncertainty. The index reflects automated text-search results of the electronic archives of seven leading newspapers: Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Guardian, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post (accessed through ProQuest Historical Newspapers and ProQuest Newsstream). The index is scaled so that 100 indicates that 1% of news articles contain references to TPU.

These assumptions were tested in late January when fears about the durability of artificial intelligence investments, amid rising competition from China, sparked a sell-off.

Equity investments have helped power the growth of the U.S. economy while creating wealth and retirement security for millions of investors. However, periods of elevated valuations have tended to heighten shorter-term risks to the equity outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Fed Chair Powell also noted on 29 January, it\u2019s human nature to underestimate tail risks. Following outsize stock market gains in recent years, which may have tilted portfolio allocations even further toward equities, investors should evaluate the risks related to valuations and remember the importance of bonds in a balanced portfolio. Given the historical tendency for valuations to revert to the mean, it could be a mistake to assume that today\u2019s exceptional conditions will last
