Macro Rumor First seen

Reddit post cites S&P stagnation, $117 oil, rising inflation as recession signals

A Reddit r/investing post claims the S&P 500 has been stagnant for about a quarter while inflation rose due to Trump's war with Iran and crude oil hit $117 a barrel. The post also says bond yields have made borrowing harder and investors are growing cautious on AI-related CapEx, citing incomplete data centers and chips sitting in warehouses. It states consumer spending remains high but says it is hard to tell when the market will turn around.
