Good MorningEquities extended their selloff on Wednesday with the S&P 500 falling more than 1.50% to the lowest level in over a year. The move was driven by a hotter than expected CPI read and took the index firmly below the 4,000 level. The CPI came in at 8.3% YOY or up 0.2% from the previous month putting an end to the idea that inflation had peaked. The next big hurdle for the market will come today in the form of the PPI index. The PPI index is also expected to subside on a month-to-month basis but may come in much hotter than expected.
With inflation on the rise, the FOMC will come under even more pressure to act. Although the Fed has said it won't hike rates by 75 basis points we feel it is on the table now. The risk for the market is not pricing in a recession because it looks like one is on the way.

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
