U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks fell Wednesday, 11th May 2022, as data showed that U.S. inflation will remain high for quite some time, fueling market concerns that the Federal Reserve may be forced to tighten policy aggressively and cause the economy to fall into recession.

The dollar’s remarks from Atlanta Fed President Bostic also didn’t help, as the official said he is open to “more action” on interest rates if inflation remains high.

The S&P 500 erased gains and fell to its lowest point since March 2021, the Nasdaq 100 fell about 3%, and giants such as Tesla and Apple were hit hard; small stocks fell, rising nearly 2% at one point during the day.

The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened, with the gap between the 2-year and 10-year treasury yields narrowing by 9 basis points. Based on the federal funds futures market, the market seemed to agree that a 75 basis point rate hike was unlikely.

But they did increase their bets that the Fed will raise rates by 50 basis points in September, and will also raise rates by 50 basis points each in June and July.

While the year-over-year rise in the consumer price index cooled slightly from March, hinting at the peak economists expected, the higher-than-expected year-over-year rise made the details of the report present a more troubling picture.

The acceleration in service sector costs and the still-high rate of appreciation for most goods underscored the stubbornness and breadth of price pressures.

By the close of trading, the S&P 500 was down 1.7% at 3935.18, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1% at 31,834.11, the Nasdaq Composite was down 3.2% at 11,364.24, and the Nasdaq 100 was down 3.1% at 11,967.56.
