Sticky inflation pushes Wall Street toward weekly losses, rate hikes fears

Wall Street is poised to extend its slide Friday, one day after U.S. markets suffered their biggest drop in a month on an inflation reading that came in hotter than expected. Futures for the Dow Jones industrials slid 0.5 per cent and the S&P 500 dipped 0.7 per cent . Oil prices fell more than 3 per cent . The S&P 500 lost 1.4 per cent Thursday following news that inflation at the wholesale level slowed less than economists had expected. That hot reading echoed inflation data earlier in the week at the consumer level that suggests inflation isn't falling as steadily as was hoped, though Fed Chair Jerome Powell has warned of an uneven return to more normal levels of inflation. Stocks have gyrated on worries that persistently high inflation will push the Federal Reserve to get even more aggressive on interest rates. Higher rates tend to cool inflation, but they also raise the risk of recession of spending trails off too much. Continued strength in the inflation data suggests ..

Domestic demand drivers intact, slowdown fears unfounded: Analysts

A Wall Street brokerage has downplayed the slowdown fears arising after the poor December quarter data prints, saying the moderate numbers are due to the base effect and that the January data clearly show that domestic demand drivers are intact. According to Morgan Stanley India chief economist Upasana Chachra and her deputy Bani Gambhir, the apparent deceleration in the December quarter number come from the mixed trends in high-frequency domestic demand indicators coupled with a slowdown in external demand as visible from shrinking exports, creating fears of an impending growth slowdown. Accordingly, they choose to stand out, expecting a 6.2 per cent GDP growth in FY24 as against the 6 per cent consensus forecasts, reiterating their view that domestic demand is likely to sustain the growth momentum. While the budget has not offered a clear GDP growth number for next fiscal, saying it is likely to grow in 6.0 to 6.5 per cent range, the Reserve Bank in its latest assessment has ...

US stocks fall broadly with more losses; S&P 500 ends worst year since 2008

Stocks fell in afternoon trading on Wall Street on Friday as major indexes close out a dismal year with lingering concerns about stubbornly hot inflation and a potential recession. The S&P 500 fell 0.7 per cent as of 12:01 pm Eastern. The index, which is considered a benchmark for the broader market by investors, is on track to end 2022 with a 20 per cent loss. That would mark its worst loss since the financial crisis 14 years ago. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.7 per cent and is on track for a much steeper annual loss of 33.5 per cent. The index is faring much worse this year because it is heavily made up of technology stocks that have been leading the broader market slump. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 210 points, or 0.6 per cent, to 33,007. It is on track for a 9.4 per cent loss this year. There was scant corporate or economic news for Wall Street to review on the last trading day of the year. Tesla stabilized from steep losses earlier in the week, though it is still on ...

World shares mostly higher after wobbly yield of gains on Wall Street

World shares were mostly higher on Thursday after a wobbly day of trading yielded modest gains on Wall Street. Germany's DAX added 0.4 per cent to 13,075.05 while the CAC 40 in Paris edged 0.1 per cent higher to 6.230.03. Britain's FTSE 100 climbed 0.6 per cent to 7,320.71. The futures for the S and P 500 and the Dow industrials were up 0.3 per cent. A report on inflation at the wholesale level released on Wednesday showed that prices are still rising rapidly, with pressures building underneath the surface, even if overall inflation slowed. It echoed a report on inflation at the consumer level on Tuesday, which raised expectations for interest-rate hikes and triggered a rout for markets. Investors worry rate hikes by the Federal Reserve to cool surging prices could go too far in slowing the US economy and send it into a recession. The Fed is trying to avoid that outcome, but the latest inflation reports suggest that is becoming a more difficult task. But markets appeared to have
