S&P 500 Falls Into
Bear Market Territory , From January High.
The term "bear market" refers to a value loss of
20 percent or more from the most recent high.
On May 20, after the index fell below 3,837,
the S&P 500 was trending to close at just over
20 percent down from the bull market high on Jan. 3.
The reality is the market is likely to remain under pressure until peak inflation has been priced in, Fiona Cincotta, Forex.com,
via 'The New York Times'.
We aren’t there yet, Fiona Cincotta, Forex.com,
via 'The New York Times'.
Analysts pointed to traders' fears in regard
to the general outlook for what's ahead.
For the majority of the bull market since the March 2020 low, investors have had reasons to buy the dips, Kevin Gordon, Charles Schwab, via CNN.
Given this slowdown is looking more 'natural' and protracted, there is a heightened degree of fear and not knowing where
to hide, Kevin Gordon, Charles Schwab, via CNN.
Other analysts pointed out that recession fears, while understandable, may be premature.
In the last three bear markets, where there was no recession,
the decline was 21.3% and we’re basically there, Julian Emanuel, Evercore ISI, via CNBC.
During the past three bear markets when there was a recession, on average the market had fallen more than 45 percent.
Despite this, analysts
were hard-pressed
to see a silver lining to
the day's developments.
Any positivity is being sold in a very heavy and high-volume fashion, and that's
very concerning, Keith Buchanan, Globalt Investments, via Reuters.

White House Hits Back at , Inflation Criticism From Jeff Bezos.
President Joe Biden and the billionaire founder of Amazon have been sparring on Twitter since May 13. .
You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share, President Joe Biden, via Twitter.
Biden's tweet seemed aimed at Amazon.
Bezos' reaction via Twitter is notable because it refers to the Biden administration's approach to rising inflation as a "misdirection.".
Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. , Jeff Bezos, via Twitter.
Mushing them together is
just misdirection, Jeff Bezos, via Twitter.
Bezos has also criticized the president's Build Back Better plan, the passage of which Bezos claims has stoked inflation.
Part of the Build Back Better legislation includes increasing taxes for the wealthiest Americans and corporations.
Bezos suggested that Build Back Better has been detrimental to the poorest Americans
who are usually hit hardest by inflation.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates responded to Bezos' suggestion.
It’s [...] unsurprising that this tweet comes after the president met with labor organizers, including Amazon employees, Andrew Bates, White House Spokesperson,
via CNBC.
Bezos accused Bates of attempting to "muddy the topic.".
They know inflation hurts the neediest the most. But unions aren’t causing inflation and neither are wealthy people, Jeff Bezos, via Twitter.
Biden has openly supported workers' rights to unionize, specifically at Amazon.
The choice to join a union belongs to workers alone. By the way, Amazon, here we come, President Joe Biden, via CNBC.

However, NBC reports that those figures exclude volatile food and energy prices which are a major contributor to inflation reaching a 40-year peak.
Taking into account food and energy prices, inflation increased 6.3% in April compared to 2022.
The figure still represents a drop

According to the data, consumers
continued to spend but have been forced
to tap into savings in order to do so.
Consumers remained undaunted by inflation last month, strongly increasing spending and changing their mix to more services such as at bars and restaurants, and travel and recreation as the weather warms. , Robert Frick, corporate economist
