Good MorningEquities got a boost from good news on Monday that sent the S&P 500 up to a new all-time high. The news? President Biden nominated Jerome Powell for another term as head of the Federal Open Market Committee. As head of the committee, he will be tasked with monitoring the U.S. monetary policy and keeping tabs on inflation.

The CME’s Fedwatch Tool, an indication of market sentiment regarding interest rate hikes, has seen the average expectation creep higher in recent weeks with most participants expecting at least one hike by June and many believing the first will come much sooner than the June meeting.
