(Reuters) – Wall Street supplies have ended up lower on Friday, and sales are in Amazon, Microsoft and other technological heavy weights, after American data has invented the fear of poor economic growth and high inflation, because Trump administrations are increasing tariffs.
The US consumption has recovered less than expected in February, while the basic prices measure increased the most in 13 months.
Adding concerns, the survey of the University of Michigan showed that 12-month expectations of consumers in March increased to the highest in almost 2-1/2 years, expecting the inflation to remain elevated after next year.
This data has encouraged the fear that the rush of tariff announcements of US President Donald Trump has been increasing to increase the prices of imported goods in January, start inflation and distract federal reserves from reducing interest rates.
The concern for inflation and tariffs sent shares of the most respected companies on Wall Street suddenly lower, and Apple fell 2.7%, Microsoft lost 3%and Amazon of 4.3%.
“One of the other major cautions for investors is that the inflation influence of the tariff has yet to appear in the data, which is why we believe that this is quiet before the tariff Storm, with an inflation that is likely to head north of the south in the coming months,” said Greg Bassuk, an executive director in New York.
