Markets tumble worldwide, bear market growls on Wall St; Dow falls 738 pts

Wall Street is tumbling even more Monday, sending the S&P 500 down more than 20% from its record, on worsening fears about a possible recession given how stubborn inflation has become. The S&P 500 was 3.3% lower in investors' first chance for trading after getting the weekend to reflect on the stunning news that inflation is getting worse, not better.

Gas and food prices likely kept US inflation rate painfully high in May

The costs of gas, food and other necessities likely shot up in May, giving Americans no respite from the worst outbreak of inflation in four decades. Economists have forecast that overall consumer prices jumped 8.2 per cent last month compared with a year earlier, according to data provider FactSet. That would be barely below the 8.3 per cent year-over-year surge in April and the 8.5 per cent increase in March, which was the most since 1982. And on a month-to-month basis, prices are expected to have jumped 0.7 per cent from April to May, up sharply from a 0.3 per cent increase from March to April. The acceleration would almost certainly be due to gas prices, which had declined in April but leaped more than 10 per cent in May alone and have since reached an average of nearly USD 5 a gallon nationwide. America's rampant inflation is imposing severe financial pressures on families, forcing them to pay much more for such items as food, gas and rent and reducing their ability to afford
