Good MorningEquity markets rebounded strongly on Thursday after a round of better than expected earnings reports and cooler than expected inflation data. On the inflation front, the PPI index came in below expectation and is the first sign the steep rise in prices may be ending. The caveat is that at YOY inflation gains continue to accelerate and may not end soon. There are no companies on Wall Street talking about lowering prices or deflation and most are still in price-rising mode.
Turning to the charts, the S&P 500 index is confirming a bottom at the 4,300 level. Thursday’s move confirms a Head & Shoulders reversal pattern that suggests a new all-time high will be set soon. If the pattern continues as expected the market could set a new all-time high within the next two to three weeks.

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
