The May consumer price index is forecast to rise 4.0% for the year, down from a rise of 4.9%, while the core index, excluding food and energy prices, is seen easing to a rise of 5.3% from 5.5%. The so-called “Mega-cap eight” stocks — a group that includes both classes of Alphabet Inc. stock GOOG GOOGL , Microsoft Corp. MSFT , Tesla Inc. TSLA , Microsoft Corp. MSFT , Netflix Inc. NFLX , Nvidia Corp. NVDA , Meta Platforms Inc. META — have driven nearly all of the S&P 500’s gains this year, according to Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, who included his anlaysis in a note to clients.
