Good MorningEquity markets held steady for a third-straight trading day despite the release of the FOMC minutes. In the minutes, the FOMC indicated both the potential for a "more restrictive" policy and the negative impacts of the same. The takeaway is that, if the pace of inflation does not subside appreciably, the FOMC could enact another or possibly two more 75 basis point interest rate hikes before the end of the year.
The next week of trading days will be tough for the market. Between economic data and the onset of the Q2 earnings reporting season, there are a handful of catalysts capable of moving the market lower. The first and possibly least important is the NFP data due on Friday. That will be compounded the next week, however, with both the CPI and PPI reports as well as the Retail Sales figures. In our view, investors should expect CPI and PPI to trend at or near their current levels and retail sales to fall on a YOY basis, and possibly at a faster pace than last month.
