Consumers' 12-month inflation expectations deteriorated to 4.3%, the highest reading since November 2023, from 3.3% in January. Over the next five years, consumers expect inflation to be 3.5%, the highest since 1995, compared with 3.2% in January, according to the latest survey. .Additionally, concerns are building up in the homebuilder space that tariffs would raise the cost of building materials, including lumber and appliances, thereby leading to elevated home prices and reduced affordability. Homebuilder sentiment dropped to a five-month low in February.Trade Worries LingersPresident Donald Trump's tariff talks, which could lead to a global trade war, have been weighing on the stock market. Trump’s 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada, which was delayed by a month, is set to take effect next month. Early this month, Trump announced global 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, which is expected to take effect on March 12. He also signed plans for reciprocal tariffs but delayed their implementation until April to allow his administration to negotiate on a one-by-one basis with countries that could be impacted.Another tariff threat came last week when Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on automobile, semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports as soon as April.Best-Performing StocksINVIVYD is a biopharmaceutical company that is involved in developing antibodies to transcend the limits of naturally occurring immunity and provide superior protection from viral diseases, beginning with COVID-19.
