DOLL'S DELIBERATIONS

July 11, 2022

Attention Shifts from Multiple Compression to Earnings Concerns

U.S. equities finished lower for a third straight quarter. The S&P 500, which at one point experienced a seven-week losing streak, fell the most since the height of the pandemic fears in Q1 of 2020 (-16.5%). This has been the worst first half of the year for U.S. stocks since 1970. Inflation remained the big drag on risk sentiment in Q2. May headline CPI came in higher than expected, increasing 1.0% m/m and 8.6% y/y, the biggest annual increase in over 40 years. Surging food and energy prices were key upside drivers.
