    • The Small Business Optimism Index fell by 2.4 points to 93.2 in March, marking the third straight month that the level was below the 48-year average of 98. The indicator has so far followed only a downtrend this year.

     

    • Some 31% of small business owners recorded inflation as the most pressing issue during the month, up by 5 percentage points from the previous month. This is the highest reading since the first quarter of 1981, overtaking labor quality.

     

    • Results of the same survey found that the proportion of owners that hike average selling prices increased by 4 percentage points to a record-high of 72%, with an uptrend seen in the past 12 months.

     

    • Half of the business owners also indicated that they plan to hike prices, 4 percentage points higher than the February level. Wage inflation is also expected to record upward movement.

     

    Some 47% of owners said they had difficulties in filling openings, 1 percentage point lower than February but still higher than the 48-year historical average of 23%.

     

    QQQ is up 1.88%, while SPY is up 1.11%.
