"NASDAQ up 14.76% in 30 days"

"Inflation is creeping up to 3.5%"

The market is expressing that its love for profit growth is greater than its worries about war and oil prices. Companies in the S&P 500 are growing profits at 15% annual clip right now. As this earnings season rolls on, stock prices are reflecting this with a rapid recovery from March and April lows.

One would think that at some point, investors will need to pay a price for a prolonged increase in the cost of energy. But as it turns out, as long as companies are winning, the market doesn’t care. Inflation is starting to creep up, pointing to some potential headwinds in the future.
