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 | | Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security.
The last time America reset its currency - under Nixon in the 1970s - it created an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over 50 years.
