Market tumbles as inflation not declining as quickly as hoped
💸 Inflation expectations reset. August CPI showed inflation growing 8.3% above the expected 8.1% while core CPI grew to 6.3%. Investors were likely pricing in even lower whisper numbers expecting sharp inflation declines to re-rally markets. S&P 500 tumbled over -4% on Tuesday on the return of #InflationFears.
🏦 Yield projections steepen. 10-year treasury yield rose +4% last week expecting hawkish Fed commentary next week. With #InflationFears declining slower, near-term #RisingYields now expected to target 4.5% from prior 4%. A 75 bps hike is expected next week.
️📦 Shipping volume tumbles. FedEx warns macro conditions materially deteriorated as weak shipping volume trends accelerating. Given logistics role in larger global economy, #RecessionWatch alarms ringing as resilient spending may be finally teetering into #ConsumerNoConfidence. S&P 500 finishes down -5% for week.
