In financial markets its pretty simple: When you raise interest rates, you increase the denominator in the DCF calculation, so most assets are repriced downward.

But asset prices aren’t included in inflation indices…

Yeah, the decrease in asset prices is just an unavoidable side effect (and similiarly, the increase in asset prices under the previous low-interest, low-inflation environment was a side effect of attempts to boost inflation and the real economy, not some large scale plot to transfer money to the super wealthy as is often claimed).
