Good MorningEquities took a tumble on Tuesday on rising fears of inflation. Rising commodity costs, higher freight costs, and upward pressure on wages and retention costs are driving record numbers of S&P 500 companies to hike their prices. With higher inflation comes higher interest rates and that is what has the market under pressure. While the FOMC has repeatedly said it won’t raise rates for an extended period of time, the risk is that inflation is already out of control and will force the committee to act sooner than expected.
Wednesday’s CPI figures are expected to show a modest rise in Consumer Inflation but could come in hotter than expected. A figure like March’s up 0.6% could be the spark that sends this market into a tailspin. If so, the best targets for firm support are about 5.0% below Tuesday’s close and a deeper correction is possible.
