JPMorgan strategist David Kelly sees reasons for market optimism in Thursday’s US consumer price index report, with stocks rewarding patient investors and bonds providing a solid capital gain as inflation heads toward 2% by late next year.

“The bond market overall is better priced than it’s been for many, many years and I think there’s a one-time capital gain there as rates come down,” the chief global strategist for JPMorgan Asset Management Inc. told Bloomberg Surveillance. “There are better long-term capital gains to be made still in the equity market.”
