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. Economists expect the PCE price index to be hot again this month, the question is whether or not it will be hotter than expected.
The current consensus is for a gain of 0.6% month-over-month at the core level, 0.1% lighter than the previous month. 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: The Midterm Trap That Could Ruin Your 401(k) (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Without a will, your state's intestacy laws decide how your assets are divided — a rigid formula that ignores unmarried partners, unequal financial needs among heirs, and charities you supported. Outdated beneficiary forms on retirement accounts can send assets to ex-spouses or estranged relatives, regardless of what your will says.
Probate without a will can take months or years, freeze your assets, and become part of the public court record. A fiduciary financial advisor can walk you through beneficiary designations, trust structures, and tax strategy before it's too late. | | Match with a vetted fiduciary advisor in your area today |
