Weekly Update: Markets Rise As Inflation Fears Ease

05/26/2006

Inflation continued to make headlines this week. But unlike recent weeks, the news wasn't terribly negative and it didn't send the markets tumbling. Today the Commerce Department reported that the core-PCE deflator (the amount of money individuals spend on goods and services) rose 0.2%. In the Fed's eyes, that's probably a bit too high. But many analysts had feared the number would be higher. The result was a sigh of relief and at least a temporary end to the recent selloff. Only time will tell if we are at the bottom or if more volatility awaits.

The S&P 500 rose 1% for the week, and is up only 2.6% for the year. Small stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, are up 8.4% this year, but as anyone watching closely over the past few weeks could see, it was with much more volatility.
