A new Consumer Price Index (CPI) report sent tremors through the stock market yesterday... [Derby City Daily logo]( [Derby City Daily logo]( February 14, 2024 [Inflation Is Still Hot: What This Means for Consumer Spending in 2024]( By Andy Swan A new Consumer Price Index (CPI) report sent tremors through the stock market yesterday, pushing the S&P 500 Index down 1.4%. We found out that U.S. consumer prices rose more than anticipated in January, with a 0.3% increase from the previous month and a 3.1% increase over the previous year. U.S. Inflation Rate Those figures surpassed economists' forecasts, who were predicting a 0.2% month-over-month increase and a 2.9% annual increase. The core CPI, which excludes the more volatile costs of food and gas, also rose by 0.4% month-over-month and 3.9% year-over-year, suggesting underlying inflationary pressures remain persistent. Inflation is still hot. Surprise, surprise. If you’ve been through the [McDonald’s (MCD) drive-thru]( recently, you already know inflation is hot. The fact is that [food price concerns]( have been top-of-mind for consumers for a while now. Google Trends And this sustained pressure could have significant implications for consumer spending – and buying power – moving forward. Here’s what we’re watching... RECOMMENDED LINK [CRITICAL March 20th Warning]( Jason Bodner is going public today with [an urgent new warning](. He believes the most popular investment of 2023 is set to pop... And it could all start just days from now. This has NOTHING to do with A.I. stocks... It has NOTHING to do with cryptocurrency... And it has NOTHING to do with high-flying tech stocks. Instead, this corner of the market you likely have cash parked in has swelled to nearly $6 trillion. [Click here to watch this warning now]( High-Level Takeaways - Inflation Remains Above Expectations: The CPI data for January indicates that inflation is still running hotter than expected, which could complicate the Federal Reserve's efforts to bring inflation down to its 2% target. - Market Reactions and Fed Expectations: Following the report, market expectations for the Federal Reserve to hold rates steady at its next meeting increased significantly. This shift reflects a growing consensus that it might be too soon for the Fed to consider rate cuts, especially in light of persistent inflationary pressures. - Sector-Specific Inflation Dynamics: The report highlighted significant inflation in shelter costs, contributing to the higher core inflation reading. Conversely, prices for used cars and trucks continued their downward trend, while energy prices fell. Food prices, both at home and away from home, rose moderately. Implications for Fed Rate Cuts Given the higher-than-expected inflation figures, it's likely that the Federal Reserve will adopt a cautious stance on adjusting interest rates. The anticipation of ongoing inflationary pressures, as reflected in the core CPI, suggests the Fed may delay any rate cuts to later in the year, contrary to what many were expecting. This is further supported by commentary from economists suggesting a "bumpy path ahead" for inflation, which may influence the Fed's timeline for rate adjustments. Implications for Consumer Spending ✓ Impact on Disposable Income: Higher inflation, particularly in essential categories like shelter and food, may reduce [consumers' disposable income]( potentially impacting their spending capacity on discretionary goods and services. ✓ Consumer Sentiment: Persistent inflation can affect consumer sentiment, making households more cautious about spending, especially on big-ticket items that are not immediate necessities. ✓ Sector-Specific Effects: While some sectors, like the automotive sector (with declining prices for used cars), may see a different impact, overall consumer spending trends could be moderated by the inflationary environment... especially if wage growth does not keep pace with inflation.
