How do you know this? My inclination is to think investors are underestimating the effects of inflation and overestimating the Feds ability to counter it without major rate hikes (like above 7-8% or higher). The Fed has created a major problem by keeping rates so low for so long. Who is going to buy the bonds they are going to have to sell in order to back off quantitative easing. Plus now there is the threat to the US dollar remaining the preferred currency with the Biden administration seizing almost a trillion dollars worth of Russian dollar denominated assets. Other countries are likely taking notice of this.
