Stocks close mixed after strong hiring report fuels inflation worries

renewed worries about inflation and more rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

Stocks had been on the upswing for the last month on hopes the worst of the nation's high inflation may have passed already. That fed expectations for the Federal Reserve to dial down the intensity of its big interest-rate hikes as it moves to slow the economy. Such jumps in pay are helpful to workers struggling to keep up with soaring prices for everyday necessities. The Federal Reserve's worry is that too-strong gains could cause inflation to become further entrenched in the economy. That's because wages make up a big part of costs for companies in services industries, and those companies could end up raising their own prices further to cover higher wages for their employees.

I'm busy being on my Yatch today, and playing Golf, I don't have time for comments,

It's perverse economics that to stem inflation that hurts the lower rungs of the economic ladder the most we hurt the lower rungs even more while the opposite end benefits from increased prices & record corporate profits. Tax increases on the wealthy are anti-inflationary. Try em
