U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

The Nasdaq and S&P 500 jumped more than 2% on Wednesday, 10th August 2022, after data showed U.S. inflation slowed more than expected in July, raising hopes that the Federal Reserve will become less aggressive in raising interest rates.

The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) was flat in July after rising 1.3% in June, the Labor Department said. CPI rose 8.5% year-over-year, also lower than expected, after rising 9.1% in June.

For Americans who have watched inflation steadily climb over the past two years, the data is the first clear sign of a slowdown in inflation. 

Federal funds rate futures traders now expect the Fed to have only a 43.5% chance of raising rates by 75 basis points at its September meeting, compared with 68% before the data was released.

They expect a 56.5% probability of a 50 basis point rate hike.

Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Evans said U.S. inflation did not accelerate in July, which is the first “positive” data on price pressures since the Fed began tightening policy, but he hinted that the Fed still has a lot of work to do.

The S&P 500 has had a tough start to the year, but rose nearly 15% after hitting a low in mid-June, largely due to market expectations that the Fed will be less hawkish than expected in the process of fighting inflation while trying to bring the economy to a soft landing.

But the S&P 500 is still in a bear market and must rise to more than 12% above the all-time high touched in January to open a new bull market.

Valuations are vulnerable to rising bond yields, high-growth stocks and mega-tech stocks rose, as U.S. bond yields fell sharply across the board. Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft all rose more than 2%.
