Same as my post last night about "CFO's expecting a recession to hit in 2023," do these analysts pay attention to...anything? How did no one expect the CPI number to be bad? I expected significantly worse. Do none of these people buy things for themselves?10:37 (US) Market Trading Hours Summary: May CPI print a gut punch for markets
Summary: May CPI data ran significantly hotter than expected across the board. Headline data returned to the highest annual pace since 1981, spurred by surging energy prices. Airfares and a rebound in used car prices boosted the core component, but came alongside a sharp acceleration in shelter costs, which could be viewed as a red flag for the Fed. Short rates popped, resulting in significant flattening and sporadic inversions across the US Treasury curve. Futures are now fully pricing in 50 bps hikes at the next three Fed meetings and, with FOMC officials unable to respond to the data due to the blackout period ahead of next week’s meeting, debate about a 75 bps hike resurfaced. Stock markets got slammed while crude prices barely budged. The S&P dropped nearly 3%, careening back towards 3900 for the first time in about two weeks. Decliners lead advancers by an 11:1 margin on the NYSE, while the VIX moved back above 29.
Is there some kind of positive economic news source I'm just not paying attention to? It's all bad. Everything has doubled in price. 8.6% CPI should seem like a slap in the face with how off from reality it is.
