If the 10-year Treasury bond rate is 9.0%, the inflation premium is 2.0% and maturity risk premium on 10-year bond is .3%:
Answer:
Investors in financial assets like stocks and bonds are always worried about inflation, because it erodes the buying power of whatever money they make on those investments. If you make 3 percent on an investment, but inflation is also at 3 percent, your real return is zero. The other reason is that higher inflation usually brings higher interest rates in response, from both the Fed (which sets short-term rates) and the bond market (which governs long-term rates.)
