Stocks dive over fears of the perfect storm

Tuesday 10th May 2022Markets are clearly concerned that there will be no soft-landing. There’s the big fear that rate rises won’t cut demand enough to compensate for inflation driven by supply chain disruption. The result, we’re seeing inflation expectations remaining high, stocks taking big hits and the US dollar possibly the only safe haven there is. So, what will turn this situation around? NAB’s Taylor Nugent says there has been no major data releases or news items to drive sentiment today, but risk-off uncertainty prevails. We have to wait for signs that inflation is starting to unwind. It might be way too soon, but signs of an easing of inflation in tomorrow’s US CPI would be very welcome. Hosted on Acast.
