The Fed slams the emergency brakes... June 16, 2022 [View Online]( | [Sign Up]( | [Shop]( [Morning Brew]( TOGETHER WITH [Fundrise]( Good morning. This is quite the stat: San Francisco is the only major metro area in the US where rent prices are lower now than they were before Covid hit in March 2020. —Neal Freyman, Matty Merritt, Jamie Wilde, and making his newsletter deBrew, intern Joseph Abrams MARKETS Nasdaq 11,099.15 +2.50% S&P 3,789.99 +1.46% Dow 30,668.53 +1.00% 10-Year 3.289% -19.2 bps Bitcoin $22,429.95 +3.94% Netflix $180.11 +7.50% *Stock data as of market close, cryptocurrency data as of 8:00pm ET. [Here's what these numbers mean.]( - Markets: Investors gave a [standing O]( to the Fed’s biggest rate hike in decades. The S&P snapped a five-day losing streak (though it’s still in a bear market), and the Nasdaq soared thanks to a surge in tech shares. ECONOMY [The Fed slams the emergency brakes]( [Jerome Powell](Win McNamee/Getty Images In its quest to fight soaring inflation, the Federal Reserve is trying to throttle the economy like it’s a three-year-old iPhone. The central bank [hiked interest rates]( by a mammoth 75 basis points (bps) yesterday, which is the biggest rate increase since 1994. Through interest rate increases, the Fed is attempting to raise the cost to borrow money, slow economic activity, and bring down inflation that’s ripping at 40-year-highs. How we got here With all due respect to the Boston Celtics, the current bout of inflation wins the award for overachiever of the decade. In 2021, Fed officials deemed inflation a “transitory” consequence of pandemic reopenings. But due to a mix of resilient consumer demand, persistent logistics bottlenecks, Covid lockdowns in China, and the outbreak of war in Ukraine, prices kept going up. Even as recently as just a few weeks ago, policymakers signaled they would be hiking rates by 50 bps. But prices—you know what’s coming next—have continued to climb. Last Friday’s consumer price index showed that inflation jumped to 8.6% in May, a huge disappointment to the many economists who thought it might have peaked, and an omen that the Fed had to hike rates by an even greater amount. And what comes next? Even more rate increases. The Fed projected that it would hike rates by another 175 bps by the end of the year, to a level far above what it estimated in March. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell, in a press conference yesterday, suggested that an “unusually large” 75 bps increase wouldn’t be the norm going forward, though it is possible at the Fed’s next meeting in July. Hiking interest rates this hard, this fast will be painful for the economy and likely put some people out of work. That’s the point, after all—people need to spend less for prices to come back down to earth. And it seems like that’s already happening: US retail sales fell for the first time in five months in May, as Americans pulled back on buying cars and other expensive items. Big picture: As much as Americans love to think we’re exceptional, inflation has been [afflicting]( countries around the globe. In an analysis of 111 countries, Deutsche Bank found that the US’ inflation rate sits roughly in the middle.—NF    mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20from%20Morning%20Brew%21&body=The%20Fed%20slams%20the%20emergency%20brakes%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fstories%2F2022%2F06%2F15%2Fthe-fed-slams-the-emergency-brakes-on-the-economy%3Futm_campaign%3Dmb%26utm_medium%3Dnewsletter%26utm_source%3Dmorning_brew%0A%0AWant%20more%20great%20content%3F%20Subscribe%20to%20Daily%20Brew%20%E2%80%94%20Delivering%20the%20latest%20business%20news%20from%20Wall%20St.%20to%20Silicon%20Valley%20daily.%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fr%2F%3Fkid%3Da905682a%26utm_source%3Demail_share%0A TOGETHER WITH FUNDRISE [Sit.

An FDA advisory committee unanimously [recommended]( Moderna’s and Pfizer’s Covid vaccines for kids under five, which is the only age cohort in the US that doesn’t yet have an authorized vaccine. The FDA is expected to accept these recommendations and authorize the vaccines by the end of the week, setting up a vaccine rollout as soon as next Tuesday. Facebook’s on its copycat grind again. A newly surfaced exchange between Facebook higher-ups in April shows how the platform may be trying to copy the features of one of its main competitors: TikTok. In a memo leaked to [The Verge](, head of Facebook Tom Alison said that he wanted to tweak the site’s homepage to one more reminiscent of TikTok’s “For You” page, meaning that popular content from around the app will be prioritized above pics of your former high school classmates. As part of this pivot, Messenger would be mashed back together with Facebook, which it split from in 2014. One pandemic origin story solved. Scientists say they’ve [discovered]( where the Black Death originated: Central Asia, in modern-day Kyrgyzstan. It’s a breakthrough that helps us better understand the causes of the deadliest pandemic on record, which killed up to 60% of the Eurasian population between 1346–1353 AD. If a similar timeline is applied to the current pandemic, we can expect to discover how Covid began around the year 2700. AUTO [Tesla leads rivals in semi-autonomous vehicle crashes, but…]( [Tesla Autopilot in action](Tesla Tesla vehicles were involved in [more crashes]( while using driver assistance technology than any other carmaker, according to a new report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It’s the first report of its kind, and reflects how the regulator is increasing its scrutiny of self-driving tech. FYI, the vehicles in this report are more Herbie than Bumblebee. They use features like lane assistance and auto-adjusting cruise control, and require a driver behind the wheel at all times. What the report showed: Out of 392 total crashes reported to the NHTSA over the year ending May 21, Tesla accounted for 273, Honda for 90, and the other 100+ companies included in the survey reported 10 or fewer crashes each. But that doesn’t necessarily mean Teslas belong in Twisted Metal, because… - There are simply more Tesla vehicles using driver-assist technology on the road than from other brands. - Tesla vehicles auto-report crash data via wi-fi and cellular connections, while other automakers mostly rely on customer reports. Basically, “The data may raise more questions than it may answer,” NHTSA administrator Steven Cliff said. Still, the report provides more leverage for critics of a Tesla Autopilot system that is already under loads of pressure. Just last week, the NHTSA upgraded its probe of Tesla’s driving assistance system to an “engineering analysis,” which could lead to a recall.—JW    mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20from%20Morning%20Brew%21&body=Tesla%20leads%20rivals%20in%20semi-autonomous%20vehicle%20crashes%2C%20but%E2%80%A6%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fstories%2Ftesla-leads-rivals-in-semi-autonomous-vehicle-crashes%3Futm_campaign%3Dmb%26utm_medium%3Dnewsletter%26utm_source%3Dmorning_brew%0A%0AWant%20more%20great%20content%3F%20Subscribe%20to%20Daily%20Brew%20%E2%80%94%20Delivering%20the%20latest%20business%20news%20from%20Wall%20St.%20to%20Silicon%20Valley%20daily.%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fr%2F%3Fkid%3Da905682a%26utm_source%3Demail_share%0A GROCERY [We're running out of ways to get string cheese in 15 minutes]( [Delivery bike fades from US map.](Francis Scialabba Jokr has entered its Joker arc. The ultrafast delivery service that has raised $430 million to date said yesterday that it’s [slashing]( its US operations to focus on its more profitable business in Latin America. The company, which hit unicorn status last December (less than a year after it was founded), joins the growing list of 15-minute delivery startups shuttering operations faster than they can deliver a pack of Chobani. The delivery service said it would close nine micro-fulfillment centers in Boston and New York and lay off around 5% of its staff. But compared to the recent challenges faced by its speedy friends, it’s getting off pretty easy. - 1520 was the first super fast delivery startup to close up shop in December. - Buyk, the US subsidiary of a popular Russian grocery delivery service, declared bankruptcy in March, just 16 days into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. - Fridge No More became Funding No More after a potential deal with DoorDash fell through in March. - Even GoPuff, which hit a $15 billion valuation last July, laid off 3% of its staff in March, quashing rumors that it would be throwing an IPO tailgate in the near future. Bottom line: Last year, VCs [poured]( hundreds of millions into 15-minute-delivery startups in hopes that they’d revolutionize the way urbanites shopped for groceries. But now, during a period of rising interest rates and unstable markets, investors are losing their appetite for risky bets.—MM    mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20from%20Morning%20Brew%21&body=We%27re%20running%20out%20of%20ways%20to%20get%20string%20cheese%20in%2015%20minutes%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fstories%2F15-minute-delivery-service-jokr-is-slashing-us-operations%3Futm_campaign%3Dmb%26utm_medium%3Dnewsletter%26utm_source%3Dmorning_brew%0A%0AWant%20more%20great%20content%3F%20Subscribe%20to%20Daily%20Brew%20%E2%80%94%20Delivering%20the%20latest%20business%20news%20from%20Wall%20St.%20to%20Silicon%20Valley%20daily.%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fr%2F%3Fkid%3Da905682a%26utm_source%3Demail_share%0A GRAB BAG [Key performance indicators](#) [Squid game character saying we're excited to welcome you]Squid Game/Netflix via Giphy Stat: Netflix announced a [Squid Game reality show]( in which 456 contestants will play a series of games “inspired by the original show” (but hopefully not too inspired).
