Good MorningEquity markets extended their gains on Tuesday and set another new all-time high. The caveat is that market action was greatly subdued compared to the prior two sessions. The S&P 500 advanced about 0.25% at the high of the day as momentum wanes. If the market can't get its legs under it and extend the rally the stage is set for another correction and this time it could be a full-blown 20% correction. Market action will likely be muted until Friday when the Bureau of Economic Analysis releases monthly income and spending data including the PCE price index.
Another focus for the market this week is the Fed's Jackson Hole conference. The Fed is not expected to alter its policy at the conference but commentary from the members could sway sentiment in the market. Regardless, the Fed has become more hawkish in recent weeks and appears set to begin tapering this fall.
