Good MorningEquities started the week with a push to new highs but the move was short-lived. The S&P 500 index moved up above the 4,150 level within the first few minutes of trading but quickly fell back to break even under the weight of caution.

While the price of oil has come down in recent weeks it is still high relative to the recovery and underpinning higher prices. The risk for the economy, however, is ongoing systemic increases in prices that point to compounded inflation for consumers later in the year.
