Good MorningEquity markets tried to rebound on Thursday but failed to hold much of the gains. The move was driven by a better than expected weekly jobless claims figure that helped brighten the market’s outlook. The news, as good as it is, was soon discounted however in favor of caution. With inflation on the rise, Friday’s PPI data is the next major hurdle for the market to cross.
Even if the PPI subsides on a month-to-month basis as it is expected to do produced level price increases are still advancing and putting upward pressure on consumer prices. Next week, the market will have to face the latest read on the CPI data and that is where the real risk lay. Consumer Level inflation is what the FOMC is most concerned with so a hot or cold number could really get the market moving.
