🇺🇸 WALL STREET ON ALERT: INFLATION FUELS FEARS OF AGGRESSIVE U.S. RATE HIKES!
📈 U.S. inflation has once again surprised to the upside, reigniting fears of a more severe monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve. The consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.4% in October, above expectations, while core inflation increased 0.3%. Fed Governor Christopher Waller acknowledged the possibility of raising interest rates by 0.50 percentage points in December if inflationary pressures persist.
📉 Markets reacted immediately: yields on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds briefly exceeded 5%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.4% and the Nasdaq lost 0.7%. The situation is heightening concerns about borrowing costs, investment in artificial intelligence, and the sustainability of rising technology stocks.
The big question now is whether the Fed can control inflation without causing a significant slowdown in the U.S. economy.
