Market is Price

London CNN  —  A measure of UK grocery price inflation soared to a record high this month — that’s more bad news for consumers already facing a shortage of fruit and vegetables that has led to rationing at major supermarkets. Grocery prices rose 17.1% in the four weeks to February 19, compared with the same period a year ago, according to data published by Kantar Tuesday. That’s the highest rate of inflation since the data company started tracking it in 2008, and is equivalent to adding an extra £811 ($980) to a household’s average yearly grocery bill. Fraser McKevitt, the head of the retail and consumer data unit at Kantar, said price increases were “having a big impact on people’s lives.” A quarter of UK shoppers said they were struggling financially , according to a Kantar survey in January, up from a fifth during the same period in 2022.

Nvidia ( NVDA -1.21% ) took the gold medal for the number of times "AI" (artificial intelligence) was mentioned on its latest earnings call. And for good reason. In a new era where operational efficiency is the focus of the business world, Nvidia has built itself into far-and-away the top platform for building AI systems to unlock new computing technology use cases for companies and new cost-saving opportunities. The emergence of the AI economy is a long-term thesis for owning Nvidia right now, but the more notable news on the last earnings update was that the company would be returning to growth again. It doesn't completely justify the more than 60% run-up in the stock price so far in 2023, nor the more than doubling in share price from lows last reached in mid-October 2022. Stock prices are volatile, and investors should fully expect a pullback in Nvidia from these levels. Nevertheless, the bear market (i.e., when a stock falls at least 20% from all-time highs an

Stubbornly high gas prices that have been crimping household budgets for months are starting to tumble. In some states like Texas, prices have fallen below $3 a gallon.  The national gas price average hit $3.33 a gallon on Monday , down more than 4 cents from a week ago, according to GasBuddy. AAA pegged the national average at $3.36 a gallon as of Monday, down a nickel from a week ago. Diesel fuel prices are also falling, hitting an average $4.38 a gallon this week, down nearly 8 cents from the previous week, GasBuddy said. "Some nine out of 10 states saw declines over the last week, so the drops are showing up for most across the country, with the exception of the West Coast as the transition to summer blends continues, and in the Great Lakes, where prices cycled last week but have now resumed declining," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a fuel price report.  Prices are dropping because the cost of crude oil per barrel has been tumbling —

Investors should not expect a cut in interest rates until 2024 thanks to a strong U.S. economy and the potential for a delayed recession, according to the chief global strategist at Principal Global Investors. Seema Shah told CNBC Friday that a tight labor market, fueling inflation, means that the previously predicted third-quarter recession for the U.S. economy will likely be delayed until later in the year. In fact, the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates higher for longer is the "scenario that we're looking at now," Shah told CNBC's Julianna Tatelbaum. "You're looking at tighter policy, which does unfortunately mean that for the market, it is a little bit more concerning." The employment picture started 2023 on a stunningly strong note , with nonfarm payrolls posting their biggest gain since July 2022 despite a rapid increase in interest rates last year. 'Absolutely no cuts this year' When asked when investors should expect a cut in intere

More Info Premium Content By Irina Slav - Feb 26, 2023, 2:00 PM CST Last summer, in August, gas prices on the European market topped 340 euros per megawatt-hour. China's demand for LNG is expected to rebound this year, intensifying competition for limited supply. Despite relatively high storage levels, Europe is increasingly reliant on LNG spot markets. In the winter of late 2022 and early 2023, Europe got lucky. It got very lucky. Gas storage sites were fuller than usual because of the massive LNG-buying effort the EU put into securing gas for the winter, and the winter itself turned out to be warmer than usual. Yet luck, while a big part of Europe's success in making it through winter relatively unscathed despite decimated Russian gas supply, was not all of it. Europe made it because it had the money to pay such prices for LNG on th

New York CNN  —  For Ukraine, the year since Russia’s invasion has been one of widespread death, destruction and displacement, as millions had their lives changed forever. Americans got off easy by comparison, with most feeling the impact of the war only at the gas pump. But the effect on Americans was far less than it was across Europe, where energy prices for driving and heating climbed much higher. Still, Americans have paid a price for the war, and for the sanctions that the United States and its allies imposed upon Russia after its invasion. Since Russia is one of the world’s major oil exporters, the sanctions riled global energy markets , where the price of oil is set. US gas prices shot up $1.48 a gallon, or 42%, to a record $5.02 between the day before Russia’s invasion a year ago and the record price reached on June 14. That peak was short-lived — the national average price of gasoline, as tracked by OPIS for AAA, fell continually for 98 straight days starting right a

Published 1 day ago on February 24, 2023 Article/Editing: Mapped: The Price of Starbucks by Country In 1971, three former students from the University of San Francisco set up the first Starbucks at Seattle’s Pike Place Market, selling fresh roasted coffee beans, teas, and spices from around the world. This was a relatively humble beginning for what is now the largest coffeehouse chain in the world. Today, Starbucks boasts 32,000 stores across 80 countries, second only to McDonald’s in the fast-food chain business. And like McDonald’s, the price of a coffee at Starbucks varies wildly depending on the country you’re in. This map made by SavingSpot has the answer to which country has the most and least expensive Starbucks coffee, for those connoisseurs who want to get the most bang for their (Star)buck—or for those who want to examine relative cost and purchasing power. Which Country Has the Most Expensive Starbucks Coffee? The underlying data for this map uses

Last Monday (Feb. 20) I described the rationale for a new, distinctively different bull stock market in " A New, Exciting Bull Stock 'Market' Is Emerging ." Such a shift occurs when a significant selloff terminates previously popular market rises. So, what are the steps to take advantage of it? First, dismiss past viewpoints, reasoning, expectations and actions. The media are still locked onto those issues, but that's just mental inertia. That past construct has come undone, and it will not be seen again. It will take time for the media and most investors to recognize a new movement is afoot. Second, accept that the next bull stock market will be unique , and that means completely different. That does not mean the next movement will be a simple 180-degree reversal - for example, value stocks in place of growth ones. Third, realize that media reports will be of no help in identifying what's coming. Also, don't expect those "so-and-so is now b
