Good MorningEquity Traders shrugged off an unbelievable sixth month of hotter than expected inflation on Friday to confirm support at the short-term moving average and a key uptrend line. The Producer Price Index came in at up 0.7% for the month of August and 8.3% over last year marking the fastest pace of inflation gains in several decades. With the FOMC seemingly out of touch with reality, investors and consumers should brace for the prices of all goods to continue trending higher.
This week, the focus will be on the economic data as there are half a dozen or more key reports on the calendar. Topping the list is the August read of the Consumer Price Index, a report expected to show another acceleration in consumer prices as well. The good news for investors, at least for now, is that consumer prices are outpacing producer prices and that is helping too wide margins for the S&P 500.

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.
