Positive
Higher inflation may lead to increased costs for oil and food companies, benefitting companies in the energy sector as prices rise. Conversely, companies heavily reliant on imports could see their stock prices suffer due to increased operational costs.
WMT
Negative
Companies that rely heavily on food supply chains may experience inflationary pressures, potentially affecting profit margins. This could negatively impact companies like Walmart, which operate on thin margins.
