Good MorningEquities rebounded on Wednesday despite another round of bearish news that included the PPI data and earnings from JPMorgan Chase. The PPI data shows producer prices accelerating more than expected to the fastest pace on record. This data is sure to lead to another increase in the CPI data next month or later in the year which brings us to the JPMorgan Chase report. The company says it is bracing for increased economic risks and we think it is a wise decision.
The impacts of Russia's invasion of Ukraine are only beginning to show up in the data and results and those impacts are not good. Rising fuel costs and disruptions to trade are only the tip of the iceberg and threaten to throw the global economy into a recession. The next hurdle for the market will come today with an earnings report from at least half a dozen of the world's largest financial institutions. If they report more of what JPMorgan Chase reported the market sell-off could resume with increased vigor. Featured: [FREE IRA/401k Guide] Protect your wealth ASAP (Gold Gate Capital)
