Good MorningEquities sold off for a 5th straight day extending the downdraft to nearly 9.0% from the recent peak. The upshot is the market bounced off the low to close with a gain of 0.3%. The latest round of selling is being driven by the growing acceptance that inflation is not coming down appreciably and the FOMC is about to spark a major recession. The FOMC, through its many mouthpieces, has indicated an aggressive pace of interest hikes will continue until inflation is down and that could mean as many as 8 more 25 basis point hikes before the hiking cycle is over.
With the S&P 500 moving lower and firing off strong sell signals the odds the index will retest the 3,600 level are very strong. The risk now is the index will move below the 3,600 level and extend the sell-off to a new low in the range of 3,500 or lower. If the market can't get its feet back under by then, the selling could continue until the index reaches its long-term secular trend line near the 2,800 level.
