It’s the notion, which has grown popular that the Federal Reserve could suggest it may need to raise interest rates further in coming months, even if it refrains from raising rates again when its two-day policy meeting ends on Wednesday.
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.
