The Nasdaq fell 4.2 per cent, the Dow dropped 2.8 per cent, and the S&P 500 plunged by 3.6 per cent. In April alone, the Nasdaq tumbled 13.3 per cent – its worst month since October 2008, when the world was still gripped by the Great Recession. On Friday, the US Department of Commerce announced that the personal consumption expenditures price index – a key figure for measuring inflation – has risen by 6.6 per cent since last March, the fastest increase since 1982. “And investors are not likely to be comfortable any time soon with the Fed widely expected to deliver a 50-basis point hike, along with a hawkish message next week.” Meanwhile, a host of global problems – the war in Ukraine, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, disrupted supply chains, and rising oil prices, among others – continue to rattle investors.
