Equity markets fell on Wednesday after a hotter-than-expected CPI report affirmed the growing fear there would be no interest rate cuts this summer. The CPI accelerated at the headline level and was flat at the core, hotter than forecast on all counts, indicating the Fed’s work is far from over. Because the labor market data remains resilient and economic conditions healthy, the FOMC will unlikely cut rates until inflation is tamed, which could be a long way off. The cost of gasoline was a leading cause of inflation, and gasoline, along with diesel and other fuels, has a compounding influence on prices throughout the economic system.
The S&P 500 fell more than 1.3% at the session’s low to set a two-week low. This is the longest and deepest pullback in the S&P 500 index, and the decline may not be over. Because the inflation outlook is heating up and the outlook for rate cuts is cooling down, the forecast for S&P 500 earnings growth in the second half is garbage. In this scenario, a reduction in the consensus forecast could undercut market action and lead the S&P 500 to a significant sell-off.
