Good MorningEquity markets pulled back a bit on Tuesday despite a cooler than expected read on consumer inflation. The CPI index gained only 0.3% in August versus an expected gain of 0.4% dropping 0.2% from the previous month. The data brings the YOY gain down to 5.3% and the lowest level in two months. Investors remained cautious because, despite the cooldown in inflation, the pace of inflation remains high and posed a threat to the economy.
Later in the week, traders will be eyeing the Empire State manufacturing survey, as well as the Philly Fed’s Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey, and the August read on Retail Sales. All three indices are expected to show a contraction of activity over the past month that could weigh on S&P 500 prices. The index remains near its all-time but is in danger of correction. A move lower would break support at the short-term moving average and may lead to a much deeper correction.

Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
