Good MorningThe U.S. stock closed mixed on Tuesday echoing a sentiment felt by many traders. While there are plenty of reasons to be bullish on the stock market in 2021 the indices are ripe for a correction. The biggest risk now is the FOMC and the committee is scheduled to release its statement this week. If the FOMC raises fears of inflation it could very well spark a sustained sell-off in stocks. Rising interest rates mean better yields on bonds than the average S&P 500 stock and bonds are an attractive asset class for risk-averse investors.
Weaker than expected economic data played a part in Tuesday’s action. The retail sales and industrial production figures both came in well below their consensus forecasts. The caveat for investors is that one month of data does not make a trend, these figures should pick up again as the spring season unfolds.
