Good MorningEquities sold off again on Monday as fears of a major recession grow. Not only was there hawkish Fed commentary to move the market but JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon is once again predicting a recession. He says the US will fall into recession within 6 to 9 months and that it could take the S&P 500 down another 20% or more. On the flip side, Fed president Lael Brainard thinks there are already signs of improvement within the economy and those comments helped the S&P 500 close off the lows of the session.
This week's hurdle for the market is still to come, however, with the PPI and CPI both due out later this week. The market is expecting to see core consumer inflation cool on a month-to-month and YOY basis and it may be disappointed. The last read on PCE prices showed a surprise increase and there are still indications of rising prices from within the S&P 500 itself. A hot number would be bad for the market and could lead it to set a new low by the end of the week. Featured: Elon’s big $266,000 per second purchase (Ad)

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.
