The current inflation we have on our hands is stickier than everyone thought — and no amount of promises from the Fed about future rate cuts is going to wash it away.
In fact, there may be no June rate cuts at the rate we’re going. Bottom line, this inflation is sticking.
Not only that, stocks fell yesterday as major U.S. banks kicked off the corporate earnings season with — you guessed it — inflation concerns weighing heavily on investors.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 306 points, or 0.8%. The S&P 500 slipped 0.8%, while the Nasdaq Composite pulled back by 1%.
According to the University of Michigan’s Surveys of Consumers, April’s consumer sentiment index came in at 77.9, below the Dow Jones consensus estimate of 79.9. Year-ahead and long-run inflation expectations also ticked up, reflecting frustrations over sticky inflation.
Investors now have to come to terms with fewer rate cuts by the Fed this year.
