Inflation?
Well, we can forget about inflation, there is no sign of that on that horizon, which will clear the path for more interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve.
The Consumer Price Index rose by only 0.3% in April as clothing costs felt their steepest decline since Harry Truman was President and computers are costing you 26% less than they did a year ago. If it wasn’t for energy, tobacco and medical care, we would have actually seen a drop in overall consumer prices.
If consumer prices are indeed scaling back, look for the cost of borrowing money to drop as well. We have already seen what the Fed’s interest rate cuts have done for the stock market; some micro-caps are soaring and the Dow closed above 11,000 for the first time in eight months and is actually only about 400 or so points away from an all-time high. Remember the term, “a new Dow record?”
Analysts agree that the stock market almost always leads an economic rebound. Many people are now saying the threat of a recession may actually be dimming as more and more people regain confidence in the economy and the market.
