2 Question Tuesday – 02/11/2025 – Are You Worried That Consumer Sentiment Dropped 5% From January and Expects Inflation to Rise? Are You Worried About What the Poor Tech Earnings and Guidance Mean for the Market?

Welcome to 2 Question Tuesday. This week’s client submitted questions were:

  1. Are you worried that consumer sentiment dropped 5% from January and expects inflation to rise?
  2. Are you worried about what the poor tech earnings and guidance mean for the market?

Phil, Mike, and Larry talk about how the University of Michigan consumer survey for February showed that consumers are worried about inflation rising amid tariff fears. Consumer sentiment fell 5% from January to 67.8, and consumers now expect the inflation rate to be 4.3% a year from now. They then discuss last week’s disappointing earnings and future guidance from the big tech companies and what this means for the market.
