Good MorningThe Bulls came raging out of the gate on Monday driving the S&P 500 up more than 1% to set a new all-time high. The move comes on the eve of the Fed's Jackson Hole, Wyoming conference, a conference that could change the tone of the market for the second half of the year. There's little expectation the Fed will signal a major policy change but commentary from Individual members could sway Market sentiment.
Also on tap this week is the Fed's favored indicator of consumer-level inflation, the PCE price index. The consensus estimate is for Consumer-level inflation to rise 0.3% over the past month, a tenth of a percent lower than the previous month, and for year-over-year gains to tame as well. With the Fed leaning more and more towards tapering, a hotter than expected number could easily lead the market to believe Fed tapering actions will occur quicker than currently forecast.

From Our Partners | | Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security.
The last time America reset its currency - under Nixon in the 1970s - it created an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over 50 years. Stansberry has identified three asset categories connected to Trump's initiative that could surge, plus his single top investment move. | | Watch the documentary briefing and find out which side you land on |
