FAQ

Why Bearish?

Persistent inflation pressures suggest Fed will maintain rates, limiting growth expectations. Historical periods of sustained high inflation tended to suppress market performance.

How important is it?

Inflation data directly influences Fed policy, which in turn affects S&P 500 performance. As inflation persists, potential rate stabilizations or cuts could lead to market fluctuations.

Why Long Term?

Potential rate cuts later in the year may depend on economic data improvement, impacting investor sentiment over several months.
