Markets bounced back a bit today as positive reports from

retail companies calmed investors' concerns about a dramatic consumer spending slowdown.

It's been a bunch of mixed messages so far across different fashion, grocery, electronics, and home goods brands. It seems like

spending is shifting, not stopping.

Notes released today from the Federal Reserve's last policy meeting reassured investors of

policymakers' focus on fighting inflation

by continuing to raise interest rates quickly. The Fed hopes to cool borrowing and spending by making loans more expensive. Less demand can relieve some of the force pushing prices higher.

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported a

drop in mortgage volumes

last week. The rate for a 30-year mortgage hit 5.46%, near 13-year highs.

🤓 Inside Scoop...

The stock market works in anticipation of what's going to happen. Investors choose to own, or not own, a piece of a company to earn a share of its future growth and profits. Investors often

sell stocks

when they're

worried about inflation

because it can

negatively affect corporate profits

. As the costs of materials, labor, and other supplies increase, corporations can pass those higher costs on to the consumer by raising the price of their goods or services. Eventually, the consumer can't handle the price increases and stops buying so much. Corporate profits start to decline as costs keep increasing, but revenue slows. We're seeing some of that start to play out now, which has investors worried about how far it will go.
