Inflation and Market Outlook

Full Show Notes:

Americans Are Getting Used to Rising Inflation

After almost two years of printing and spending trillions of dollars, inflation is beginning to rear its ugly head. And although most financial experts are still undecided whether we’re going down a recession path, others believe a recession is already here, and Americans are getting used to it. How is that even possible? Well, the longer high inflation persists, the more it becomes embedded as an economic expectation. Employees demand more wages, and employers realize they’ve got to pay more for the same talent. And generally speaking, vendors also feel like they have the capacity to continue to raise prices. So, when this mentality gets baked in, it becomes part of the psychology and, therefore really hard to eradicate. 

 

August Inflation and a Bad Day in the Markets

13th September 2022 was a bad day in the markets. The new consumer-price report led to a massive dip in the stock market. Even with a drop in gas prices, the report highlighted that inflation jumped more than expected in August. In fact, all the stocks in the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average took a plunge in the worst one-day performance since June 2020. Most experts argue that this plunge might have been fueled mainly by concerns over how the Federal Reserve would react to August inflation numbers. Nonetheless, the rising prices will also worsen the cost woes for households in the US as the Federal Reserve decides on another interest rate hike in a week’s time.
