Inflation flaring up as Middle East conflict raises energy costs — bet against homebuilders
A new Federal Reserve report shows that inflation is heating back up across the US. When borrowing costs rise because of inflation, people spend less on big upgrades like home repairs.
Idea
Inflation is picking back up, largely driven by higher energy costs from global conflicts. If inflation stays high, the Federal Reserve is forced to keep interest rates elevated. High mortgage rates make buying a home much more expensive, which cools off demand for new houses. Because of this, homebuilding companies are facing serious headwinds and their stock prices could easily drop further.
