'Recession shock' is coming, Bank of America warns
CNN
Bank of America is warning that high inflation poses a credible threat to the economic recovery that began just two years ago.
"'Inflation shock' worsening, 'rate shock' just beginning, 'recession shock' coming," Bank of America chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett wrote in a note to clients on Friday.
The warning came ahead of a new government report on Tuesday that showed consumer prices surged by 8.5% in March, the fastest pace since December 1981. There were record year-over-year price spikes on everything from new vehicles and men's apparel to baby food and salad dressing.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
