Higher inflation and a potential Fed hike would pressure growth stocks, including NDX. Her view that the Fed may need to hike implies a negative near-term outlook for equities, especially tech.

If the situation drags on, the Strait of Hormuz remains shut, and very quickly we start running into physical shortages and much higher prices for energy... prices will spike.

The FOMC is likely to drop its easing bias and adopt a more symmetrical posture... in the near term, we consider the risk of a hike to be greater than that of a cut.
