S&P 500 Nears Worst Month in Over a Year as Rising Yields Signal Inflation Concerns The S&P 500 is facing its most significant monthly decline since December 2022, with a 5.5% drop in April, effectively halving the gains made earlier in the year. This downturn is attributed to rising bond yields, spurred by ongoing inflation fears that a strong economy might be sustaining. Despite nearing its March 28 record peak, the recent rise in Treasury yields, which accelerated this April, has unsettled the U.S. stock market. Bob Elliott of Unlimited Funds suggests that Treasury rates may need to increase further to temper economic demand sufficiently for the Federal Reserve to be assured that inflation is moving consistently towards its 2% goal. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold and Silver: Preppers' Choice for Weathering Uncertainty READ MORE Truist Shares Why Gold Still Has More Upside READ MORE Dollar's Surge Triggers Market Interventions as Asian Currencies Tumble READ MORE Dollar Strengthens Against Yen Despite Japan's Intervention Threats READ MORE World Gold Council Launches 'You are Gold' Campaign in India READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
