Good MorningEquity markets continue to rebound on Tuesday with the S&P 500 gaining more than 0.5% at the height of the session. The move is evidence of the market’s resiliency in the face of rising inflation, a resiliency that will be put to the test once again this week.

Regardless, the debate around the need for future interest rate hikes is hitting a crescendo this week with commentary from virtually all FOMC members fueling the conversation. While it is uncertain when the first interest rate hike will occur, it is certain the FOMC has inflation on its radar. Featured: AI Meltdown Imminent: Dump These Stocks Now! (Ad)
