If you've been paying attention to what's happening in the market, you will know that the Nasdaq is down by almost 8% from its all-time high, S&P 500 is down by about 4% and the Dow Jones is down by about 3%.
When you look at the fear and greed index, it is at the scale of 37, and the VIX index spiked up to 65%. All of this indicates 1 thing.
The market is fearful. Why?
That's because people believe that inflation is coming. Prices are going up. And it is definitely going to affect investors.
Based on the April CPI inflation report, the reality is that prices are rising.
Overall, prices in April climbed 4.2% year over year, the biggest gain since September 2008.
From gas and groceries to computers, cars, and clothing, people are already paying more for everyday expenses.
Even if you strip out volatile food and energy prices and calculate only the core CPI inflation, prices also rose by 3% year over year in April.
For month over month, the core CPI inflation rose by 0.9% in April, the biggest one-month jump since 1982.
This April CPI numbers came in higher than what many analysts predicted which is why Wall Street is shaking and the indices are all dropping.
The question is, why is this happening? Why are prices going up? How is inflation going to affect investors?
That is what we'll be discussing in today's episode.
