The recent surge in core inflation coupled with sharp declines in equities and bonds suggests a deeper concern than just the slight rise in consumer prices. Investors fear a potential Harris presidency and its proposed tax increases, which could significantly impact corporate earnings and economic growth.

on the unexpected increase in core inflation, the severity of the moves in equities and bonds indicates something more is at work than a one-tenth of a point move in the index of consumer prices excluding food and energy.toxic for stocks because it is centered around tax increasesDonald Trump’s 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

Goldman’s analysts estimate that each one percentage point change in the statutory domestic tax rate would shift S&P 500 earnings per share by slightly less than one percent. So,, according to Goldman. Combined with other Harris proposed changes to the corporate tax code, earnings would likely fall by eight percent.

Unrealized capital gains are concentrated in these companies.
