Doing nothing seems the safer bet.
Only businesses that can borrow long-term now, lock in a low real interest rate, and invest in expanding their capacity can make the domestic bet that interest rates will rise.
While the only safe bet is continuing high volatility, we are at an unusual juncture where the short- and long-term trends appear to be very different.
