Good MorningThe selling on Wall Street took on a new tone on Wednesday after a hotter than expected CPI figure put a real fear of higher interest rates into the market. CPI, or the Consumer Price Index, advanced 0.9% at the core level in April versus the 0.3% expected by the analyst and suggests the FOMC’s stance is out of line with current conditions. The 0.9% gain puts consumer-level inflation at up 4.2% YOY which is well above the Fed’s 2.0% target. The risk for the market now is twofold; either the Fed won’t act as it has said and hyperinflation will get stronger or the Fed will act and interest rates will rise 24 months sooner than expected.
The S&P 500 shed more than 2.0% at the low of the day on Wednesday with tech shares in the lead. The price action was below the short-term EMA which means day traders are getting bearish. If today’s Producer Price Index shows similar gains as the CPI the market could be in for a much deeper decline.
