Topline

The stock market opened lower on Wednesday after the Labor Department reported inflation unexpectedly surged to new highs in June, adding to already widespread recession fears as investors believe the Federal Reserve will have to get more aggressive about raising interest rates to tame surging consumer prices.

Markets took a hit after yet another red-hot inflation report in which consumer prices surged to new … [+] 40-year highs.

Key Facts

Markets pared back losses by late morning: The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.7%, over 200 points, while the S&P 500 lost 0.4% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite turned positive.

Consumer prices rose 9.1% in the 12 months ending in June—surpassing the 8.8% increase that experts were forecasting—as inflation now sits at a new 40-year high, up significantly from the 8.6% recorded in May.

Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, came in at 5.9%—up from 5.2% the month prior and above the 5.7% Wall Street analysts were expecting.

Experts speculate that the latest inflation data will strengthen the Federal Reserve’s resolve to continue aggressively raising interest rates: The majority of traders now expect the central bank will hike rates at its upcoming meeting this month by at least 75 basis points, according to CME Group data.

Rates on government bonds surged following the inflation data and the yield curve inverted further, with the two-year Treasury yield jumping to 3.16% on Wednesday, higher than the ten-year rate which sits at just over 3%.

Investors also continued to monitor corporate earnings—with some analysts predicting a slowdown amid recession fears, as shares of Delta Air Lines fell over 7% after reporting solid profits but a big jump in costs.

Crucial Quote:

Wednesday’s red-hot inflation report is “staggering” and besides being “much higher than expected,” it is showing that “inflation hasn’t peaked whatsoever,” says Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Independent Advisor Alliance. “The Fed is poised to raise interest rates by 0.75% this month and unlike prior consensus that they would begin raising rates by lesser amounts in the subsequent months, it is increasingly evident that they are going to need to keep raising rates by at least that much.”

Contra:

While the consumer price numbers for June are “ugly” and “clearly a negative data point” for markets, “the Fed was already going to do 75 basis points on July 27,” says Vital Knowledge founder Adam Crisafulli. He predicts that “disinflationary forces will gather steam” as inflation slowly comes back down later this year, “but it will take a couple of months for this to come through in the actual government data.”
