Consumer discretionary stocks moved higher on Tuesday as some of the worst-case economic fears slowly starting to recede.
Economists think some macro data will be improving over the next few months and current inflation forecasts show a moderation. Expectations of more Federal Reserve interest rate hikes and a 2023 recession are also said to be already baked into share prices.
