Yahoo Finance ·
Despite a bumpy March, 2026 has turned into a phenomenal year for optimists. The ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average ( ^DJI +0.28% ) , benchmark S&P 500 ( ^GSPC +0.42% ) , and Nasdaq Composite ( ^IXIC +0.29% ) have rallied 9%, 10%, and 13% year-to-date, respectively, with all three indexes reaching several record highs. But dig beneath the headlines, and you'll discover a bull market that may be more fragile than the indexes imply. The U.S. inflation rate has soared to a three-year high , and this feat is being accomplished at the same time that newly appointed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is conducting an ideological overhaul of the central bank.

Wall Street is eager for interest rate clarity from a Warsh-led Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) – the 12-person body responsible for setting the nation's monetary policy -- and the latest Fed meeting minutes appear to have provided, in an eight-word statement, what investors are looking for. Policymakers at the FOMC are expected to uphold the dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability. With inflation reaching a three-year high of 4.2% in May, it's the latter that's garnering attention at the moment.
