According to Bloomberg, S&P 500 companies mentioned inflation-related terms 820 times during their October earnings calls, marking the highest monthly count since February 2024, reflecting growing concerns over rising costs and weakening consumer confidence. Bloomberg Economics analysts noted that recent personal income and spending data show inflation accelerating while wage growth lags price increases.
