Ben Emons: 50 Basis-Point Hike 'Debatable' with 'Hotter and Hotter' Inflation

Ben Emons, CIO and founder of FedWatch Advisors, says inflation is "getting hotter and hotter" with "torque" from food, auto, and other costs, making a 50-basis-point December hike "debatable." He says the FOMC wants to avoid slowness while protecting economic and market performance. A series of hikes could slow the market, with energy, financials, health care, and consumer staples outperforming tech, he says. A resilient economy can absorb rate hikes but with a limit, especially for housing and other parts of the economy, Emons says.
