“Stock markets slump on growing inflationary pressure” Miles Eakers, Chief Market Analyst at Centtrip
“Asian equity markets plummeted overnight, following one of the worst trading days on the Wall Street since 2016 last Friday. The US S&P – the index of the largest 500 companies in America – is down close to 4%, at 2762.13, as fears of inflationary pressure is the US are mounting.
“Meanwhile last Friday’s US labour market figures were more upbeat, showing more workers have been added than economists had forecast. Despite the positive news, there are concerns the Fed will respond to mounting inflationary pressure by tightening monetary policy faster than has been previously expected.
“This negative sentiment has driven investors to dump government bonds, driving prices lower. As prices fall, yields spike higher. This has taken the US 10-year treasury bond to a new four-year high of 2.8831 per cent. Should yields continue to rise, equity markets will continue to weaken.”
