DAILY UPDATE: Warm Inflation Mixes Stocks

Posted on March 14, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

DEFINITION: Creeping, or mild, inflation occurs when prices rise slowly. According to the Federal Reserve, when prices increase by 2% or less, it benefits economic growth. This kind of mild inflation makes consumers expect that prices will keep going up, which boosts demand.

And so, inflation was a bit warmer last month as consumer prices rose 3.2% in February, the Labor Department just reported, up from the 3.1% that economists expected. That marks the second straight month that inflation came in higher than forecast. The data reinforces the Fed’s position to wait until inflation is tamed before cutting interest rates. Still, the central bank is widely expected to cut rates sometime later this year despite yesterday’s less-than-ideal report. It will meet next week to continue deliberations on a potential rate reduction.

Here’s where the major benchmarks ended:

  • The S&P 500® index (SPX) fell 9.96 points (0.2%) to 5,165.31; the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 37.83 points (0.1%) to 39,043.32; the NASDAQ Composite® (COMP) declined 87.87 points (0.5%) to 16,177.77.
  • The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) rose almost 4 basis points to 4.192%.
  • The CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX) fell slightly to 13.75. 

Energy shares were among the market’s strongest performers Wednesday behind gains in crude oil prices. Brent crude futures (/BZ), the global benchmark, rose above $84 to end at their highest level since early November after Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries in Russia stirred concern over supply disruptions. The S&P Energy Index ($SP500#10) jumped 1.5% and reached its highest level since late October, while the S&P 500 Materials Index ($SP500#15) rose almost 1% and ended at a record high.
