> Asset prices are highly inversely correlated to interest rates

this is true in the short term because a lot of assets are held with borrowed money. when interest rates go up those assets get sold to cancel the debt and bring down the market value.

however, either if inflation is sustained or interest rates go down, asset values will inevitably bounce back, but money will NEVER recover its value.
