US stocks fell Wednesday morning, extending Tuesday’s losses as investors remained focused on mounting signs of a slowdown in US economic growth.

The S&P 500 traded lower shortly after market open, following a 2% slide in the index a day earlier. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged lower, while the Nasdaq Composite underperformed as technology stocks remained under pressure.

Bitcoin also fell, and prices briefly fell below $20,000. West Texas intermediate crude oil futures rose above $112 per barrel for the first time in two weeks, while the 10-year Treasury yield dropped below 3.2%.

The latest bout of volatility across markets came amid renewed jitters over inflation’s impact on growth prospects in the US economy. On Wednesday, first-quarter US GDP was revised down to show a 1.6% annualized contraction, as personal consumption came in weaker than previously reported. And a separate report earlier this week showed a slide in US consumer confidence to a 16-month low and a deterioration in short-term expectations to a 9-year low, raising concerns that consumers will curb spending in anticipation of persistently high prices.

Given these and other recent reports, some Federal Reserve officials have flagged the risk that inflation expectations will become entrenched among consumers, making the case for the central bank to maintain its hawkish posture for now.

“The fact that the salient prices of gasoline and food remain elevated suggests that there is some risk that longer-term inflation expectations of households and businesses will continue to rise,” Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester said in remarks Wednesday.

She suggested she would back another 75 basis point interest rate hike in July if economic conditions look similar through the Fed’s meeting next month, echoing the support of other officials as of late for such a hike. Markets are currently pricing in a more than 80% probability that a 75 basis point rate hike will ultimately occur in July, according to CME Group data.

These expectations for a series of larger-than-typical rate hikes have remained a point of pressure for technology stocks especially, which are valued heavily on prospects for future earnings growth. The Nasdaq Composite remains firmly in a bear market, down 28.5% for the year-to-date, and both the tech-heavy information technology and communication services sectors within the S&P 500 have lagged the broader index.

“Inflation fears remain, and the Fed is gonna have to step in more aggressively and drive up interest rates further, and that’s very, very bad for tech stocks,” Opimas CEO Octavio Marenzi told Yahoo Finance Live on Tuesday. “The Fed is not finished with its interest rate hikes by any stretch of the imagination … I’m not expecting any turnaround anytime soon here. I think this is a down market that’s got some legs.”

TruPro Elites Launches eCommerce Consultant Program for Business Owners

The new program allows entrepreneurs to leverage TruPro Elites' outsourced eCommerce experts to set up, manage and scale an Amazon marketplace

More and more entrepreneurs turn to Amazon each year to set up marketplaces for their businesses or start side hustles to earn passive income. Now, through the help of TruPro Elites, an Atlanta-based eCommerce consulting agency, entrepreneurs can leverage eCommerce experts to automate and scale a business and grow its revenue.

According to Forbes, more than 100,000 brands joined Amazon in 2021 alone, resulting in over 3.9 million products sold and an average of $200,000 in annual sales per seller.

"There is no better time than now for people to launch their own eCommerce businesses," said Anthony Wilson, CEO of TruPro Elites. "Whether it's a brand trying to increase online sales, an entrepreneur trying to bring a new product to market or just someone looking for passive income to save for retirement or increase their net worth, eCommerce businesses are a lucrative way to generate revenue."

Small and medium-sized business owners all face the same challenge of balancing running their business and having time outside of work. TruPro Elites helps individuals to achieve financial freedom by conducting product and supplier research, supply chain management and leveraging their team of eCommerce experts to launch and scale Amazon FBA marketplaces without huge time or monetary commitments.

"Starting an eCommerce business can be tricky to do on your own, but because we have helped to launch and scale over 100 Amazon stores, we have been able to unlock the secrets to ensuring success," Wilson said. "We help to identify the right products, audiences and setups to allow for people to earn passive income that yields consistent results and predictable returns in just a few hours per month."

Previously, in order to successfully launch an eCommerce brand, individuals or businesses would have to devote years of training or costly resources and hours to ensure a return on investment, or they would have to give away a percentage of sales on a revenue-share model.

Through TruPro Elites, now people can leverage unique insights and tap into dedicated experts who manage every aspect of an Amazon marketplace. TruPro Elites identifies a product, sets up the marketplace and connects entrepreneurs with a dedicated "Store Manager" who helps provide resources and training and teaches the business owner how to optimize and scale before handing it back over for day-to-day management.
