Good MorningThe equity markets pulled back on Monday following last week’s surge to new highs. The earnings euphoria is being tempered by increasing signs of rising inflation and the prospect of higher interest rates from the FOMC.
The latest indications of systemic inflation come from Alcoa and Coca-Cola. Alcoa reported better than expected revenue and earnings that were driven by high demand and rising prices for aluminum. Coke, a large consumer of aluminum indicated in its earnings report it would raise its prices to combat higher input costs in the face of higher demand.
The takeaway for investors is the market is riding high on hopes of economic rebound but in danger of correcting if the inflation data gets too hot. The S&P 500 is about 3% above its closest support target with no major data due out until the end of the week. Until then the focus will be on the earnings reports.
