Good MorningThe markets gave up Monday's gains on Tuesday as markets digested commentary and Q&A from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and FOMC chief Jerome Powell. The two tried to assured markets that upcoming spikes in inflation will be small and short-lived and the two would work in concert to alleviate shortfalls in the labor market. The S&P 500 fell close to 1 percent at the low of the day and was led by larger losses in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ Composite.
Wednesday could be a repeat of Tuesday’s action. There is little in the way of economic data or earnings news on the calendar and another day of testimony from the once and former FOMC chief. Later this week a read on core inflation could move the market all well. The consensus is for a gain of 0.1% compared to 0.3% in the month prior, a hotter than expected number would reinforce the market's fear of rising inflation.

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.
