In comparison, unemployment rate touched 14.7% last April when the coronavirus onslaught ravaged U.S. economic activity. Nonetheless, consumers are now quite willing to spend, something that bodes well for economic growth. After all, sales at U.S. retailers jumped 9.8% in March on fiscal stimulus measures, as mentioned in a WallStreet Journal article.</p><p>However, renewed strength in the U.S. economy raised concerns about a rise in inflation. In fact, manufacturing companies particularly witnessed a sharp increase in input cost and the higher cost will certainly be passed on to customers. What’s more, the Biden administration’s massive federal sending plan coupled with a pick-up in the pace of vaccination may bolster economic growth vis-à-vis higher inflation. And the rise in inflation will lead to a tighter monetary policy, which doesn’t bode well for the stock market. After all, an easy monetary policy encouraged borrowing and spending during the crisis, helping the economy stay afloat.</p><p>To make matters worse, US Treasury secretary Janet Yellen on May 4 said that the Fed may need to hike key interest rates overtime to keep the economy from overheating. Thus, market pundits now believe that the Fed may raise interest rates ahead of its current schedule if inflation is strong enough. The Fed had earlier said that it will stick to ultra-low-interest rate through 2023. Nevertheless, concerns about a tighter monetary policy dragged down especially growth-oriented tech stocks yesterday. Several large-cap tech behemoths such as Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon along with the tech-laden Nasdaq tumbled on May 4.</p><p>However, amid such uncertainties, investors should consider safer defensive stocks.
