Good MorningThe equities market began to pull back last week and might be headed lower. The reason is rising interest rates and a Hawkish Fed that keeps upping the timeline for interest rate hikes. The FOMC minutes revealed the first hike could come by March and there are indications the pace of hikes could be aggressive. This week, investors will be on the lookout for the CPI, PPI, and Beige Book data that are all expected to reinforce the need for aggressive rate hiking.
The most important data this week may come out on Friday, however, in the form of the Retail Sales figures. The numbers are expected to be positive, the question is how strong will they be in relation to inflation. With inflation running at a high-single-digit rate the Retail Sales figure will need to come in near 10% for there to be any real growth of activity.
