Nobody knows what will actually happen with rate hikes, but right now everything you read about is already factored in to bond markets so it will take an outlier event to change things. The fed may not have to do anything after jawboning bond rates higher already and the big secret is we can't afford to service debt at rates over 2%.
I'd be very careful with making market bets 100% in either direction. The time for that was around Christmas during the media frenzied, "Santa Rally", and right now you'd have to make a decision for when to get back in which is equally hard.
Inflation will take care of itself as this stimulus money continues to dry up. There will be no other option for most but to go back to work.
