Investors should be buying stocks this month, as inflation is bound for a steep decline for the rest of the year, according to Fundstrat’s head of research Tom Lee.
Speaking to CNBC on Monday, Lee pointed to March inflation numbers, with prices clocking in hotter-than-expected for the third month straight in March.
But elevated inflation readings have been largely due to lags in the official statistics, Lee argued. Real-time home and rent prices, for instance, are “stabilizing,” though shelter inflation rose 5.7% year-per-year in the official March report, he noted.
