BREAKING NEWS BRIEF

In a joint statement issued this morning, top health officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration warned that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine could cause a “rare and severe” blood clot. There have been six instances of such a clot, with symptoms appearing between 6 and 13 days after vaccination. So far, this adverse effect has only impacted women between the ages of 18 and 48.

According to the statement: “FDA will review that analysis as it also investigates these cases. Until that process is complete, we are recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine out of an abundance of caution. This is important, in part, to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of  the potential for these adverse events and can plan for proper recognition and management due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot.”

MARKET UPDATE


Your morning market update

Consumer inflation is likely to have returned to prepandemic levels last month and is expected to keep pace. 

Rising inflation is always a concern in the market.

It is inevitable the reopening economy will generate some pick-up in inflation, with demand up sharply and supply chain issues resulting in shortages. Plus, newly vaccinated consumers are expected to resume traveling and other activities outside the home, which could create a temporary surge in services inflation.

But the Fed and some economists argue this inflationary pick-up will be temporary, meaning it should not derail the recovery or result in Fed rate hikes.

The March consumer price index is being released today. Here’s what you should know about it.

That’s not all you should know going into the trading day.
