Upcoming Inflation Report Could Spark Stock Market Sell-Off, Warns Fundstrat's Tom Lee
• The upcoming February CPI inflation report could spark a stock market sell-off, according to Fundstrat • The report comes out March 12 and may show hotter inflation than expected, signaling the Fed might not cut rates • Back-to-back high inflation reports in January and February could force the Fed's hand on tightening policy • This could undermine investor hopes for multiple rate cuts this year and end the market's rally • Fundstrat's Tom Lee warns the S&P 500 could sell-off 7% if February inflation comes in hot, falling to around 4,777
