After the Fed’s first rate cut in March 2020, the S&P 500 gained more than 9% over the next six months, according to Dow Jones Market Data.\n\nHowever, that may not be the playbook for the next interest rate—or economic—cycle. During six periods of interest rate cuts from 1995 to 2020, the benchmark index fell within six months of the first rate cut two of those times, according to Dow Jones Market data. It lost almost a third of its value at its low that year.\n\nOf course, when the Fed slashed rates to near-zero in 2020, the stock market boomed even as the economy entered a brief recession.

Economists had expected prices to stay flat in December and slow to a 6.5% annual pace from the previous month’s 7.1%. The consumer-price index ticked down 0.1% over the month in December, the Labor Department reported Thursday, compared to a 0.1% climb in November. Consumer prices rose at a 6.5% annual pace in December, marking a sizable deceleration from November and notching the sixth straight month of slowing inflation.

Federal Reserve officials, households and businesses alike are eager for signs that inflation will continue to recede in 2023.

But officials and American families alike have been desperate for signs that the Federal Reserve’s fight against inflation is working and that the economy will continue to stabilize in 2023. Inflation is still well above normal levels, and the economy remains vulnerable to shocks that could send prices back up. Inflation eased again in December, giving relief to households and businesses nationwide and offering more assurance to economic policymakers that price increases are pulling back after they soared to 40-year highs last year.

Inflation eased substantially for a third month in December as tumbling gasoline prices and a moderating rise in grocery bills offset another surge in rent.

And the price of a haircut increased by 0.3% and 6.3% from a year ago. Breakfast cereal prices rose 1.1% and 13% from a year ago. Rent jumped 0.8% monthly and 8.3% over the past year. In December, the price of eggs leaped 11.1% and is up nearly 60% from a year ago as bird flu continues to thin chicken supplies. “It definitely frees up the money for something else.” Nationally, regular unleaded gasoline averaged $3.27 a gallon Wednesday, down from about $5 in June, according to AAA. But the cost of services has marched higher as more Americans return to traveling and other activities even as lingering worker shortages push up wages. Inflation has now eased since July but the pullback has accelerated the past three months. Stocks have been moving higher this week off expectations that CPI would continue to build off November’s decline. That lowered the annual increase from 6% to 5.7%. Still, the central bank is moving more cautiously. Americans have been struggling with an historic inflation spike since spring of 2021 as an easing pandemic stoked consumer demand even while supply chain bottlenecks spawned product shortages.

The consumer price index was expected to decrease 0.1% on a monthly basis and increase 6.5% from a year ago in December, according to Dow Jones.

That would represent another step down for the central bank after it approved four consecutive 0.75 percentage point hikes last year before slowing down to a 0.5-point increase in December.
