Good MorningEquities closed below a key level last week despite a strong rebound on Friday. The move was driven by the belief the FOMC has lost control of the economy and that inflation will continue to run rampant. The S&P 500 broke through the 4,100 level in anticipation of the CPI and PPI data and then accelerated to below the 4,000 mark in their wake. If the market is not able to regain support at that level this week, the odds of a much deeper decline in equity prices will grow.
This week could be a tough one for the markets with earnings reports from a number of important retailers including Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and Lowes. Together, they are the market leaders in regard to consumer spending and will be a telling indication of the state of the consumer. If they give poor reports or worse, poor guidance, the market selloff is sure to worsen. Featured: Washington Thinks They Own Your Bank Account (Ad)
