- University of Michigan inflation expectations jump
- Retail Sales MoM change by -1%
- Wall Street bulls fading
- Cryptocurrency exposed stocks gain as the BTC rally gains momentum
US500 opens with nearly 0% change as investors try to digest key economic data and bank earnings season. Today's inflation data from the University of Michigan came well above economic forecasts. One year inflation expectations surged to 4.6% from 3.6% two weeks ago. On the other hand, the five year gauge remained unchanged at 2.9%. This is significant as investors bet on a FED pivot soon. Higher inflation expectation by the households, even in the short term could be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Today’s retail sales data showed a -1% change in March from February. A sharper decline that the previous month 0.2% adds to other recent evidence that the economy is cooling.
