Inflation expectations are accelerating, with the New York Fed's 1-year survey jumping to 3.9%, significantly above the 3.64% estimate. This data, combined with surging Treasury yields, has triggered a broad selloff in equities as investors price in a delayed or reduced rate cut cycle. The market is increasingly concerned that energy-driven inflation will force the Fed to maintain restrictive policy, creating headwinds for rate-sensitive sectors like real estate and high-growth technology.
