Again it is wrong. Inflation leads to higher interest rates and thus lower valuation esp for tech stocks that trade at very high PE.

The major U.S. averages all pulled back from record closes the day prior, with theDow Jones Industrial Averagefalling more than 100 points.\nInvestors are also keeping an eye on the start of earnings season.\nMany companies can’t afford to pass their higher costs onto the consumer because people will rebel. By the same token, not everyone can handle a sudden rise in interest rates, which is what many money managers are betting on. Cramer argued that’s unlikely.\n“I don’t think [Fed Chair Jerome] Powell’s going to change his stance, but there are a lot of money managers who disagree,” he said. “When we see an [inflation] number like this, they sell a lot of other things and they buy tech.”\nIt explains a breakout in trading in big tech names like Google-parentAlphabetandMicrosoft, the software giant. Their businesses aren’t tailored to changes in inflation, including the rise in gas, plastics, packaging and other prices, Cramer said.\nAlphabet shares advanced 0.29% to close at $2,546.83, while Microsoft settled at $280.98, up 1.3% in the session.\nApple, which makes a range of devices, can be negatively affected by higher material costs. But the brand sells and those costs can be assumed by its customers, Cramer said. Apple stock moved 0.8% to $145.64 Tuesday.\nCramer said a stock likePepsiCois an exception to the rule in the consumer packaged goods space. While the company will be saddled with higher input costs, including packaging and shipping, it can pass it on to consumers in the form of higher prices for drinks, chips and other products, he said.\nPepsi shares rallied 2.3% to close at $152.96 after the companyposted a strong earnings reportand raised its outlook.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":145211700,"gmtCreate":1626225175700,"gmtModify":1703755819826,"author":{"id":"3554873215379647","authorId":"3554873215379647","name":"Jenjorjack","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9d4687aa5519f0d2fb1b18f916be861","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f84d87792f02cf78e80ee34979fd31e5","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3554873215379647","authorIdStr":"3554873215379647"},"htmlText":"Big tech to hedge inflation?
