Hot inflation reports have been throwing some cold water on investors' hopes for a rapid decline in inflation and interest rates.

Here's a question on the minds of investors amid recent hotter-than-anticipated inflation readings and this powerful rally: Are we due for a stock market scare?

The bright spot on the energy front has been the persistent drop in natural gas, the feedstock for power generation and heating or cooling our homes. That price has remained stuck at historically low levels, offering some price relief on that front.
