Good MorningThe market tried to rebound on Wednesday but the gains were slim. A number of FOMC members spoke out to try and soothe the market’s fear of rising inflation but to little avail. The market has its eyes set on Friday’s core consumer inflation data end is getting ready to be surprised. The consensus estimate of 0.6% is a little low In light of the May CPI data which showed consumer inflation rising 1% for the month. If the data comes in hot, it could send the market into another tailspin and this time the bottom may not be reached quite so soon.
Among Wednesday's biggest movers were the reopening stocks. Cruise Lines Airlines and hospitality stocks were all up more than 2% intraday with many up more than 2.5% at the height of the session. With economic reopening underway and gaining momentum globally, these stocks can be expected to outperform the rest of the market over the summer. The question now is how good will the results be when the Q2 earnings season rolls around.

Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
