Good MorningEquity markets began the week in retreat as investors brace for a big week of earnings, economic data and the FOMC. This is the first hectic week of the earnings season and should see more than 100 reports from S&P 500 companies cross the wire. The takeaway for the season so far is that earnings are weak, and the outlook is souring. The economic data may not help; it should show continued strength in the labor market and rising wages to underpin inflation.
The FOMC meeting is the big news of the week. The Fed will release its policy statement on Wednesday and will most likely shock the market. The committee isn't likely to raise rates faster than 25 bps, but it will most likely give a hawkish statement that leaves little room to doubt their seriousness. Anything less will give the market and the economic reason to accelerate, which could drive inflation to new heights. Featured: A letter from Shannon Stansberry (Ad)

From Our Partners | | When the railroads launched in the 1860s, Andrew Carnegie didn't profit by riding the trains - he got rich owning the steel rails they ran on. The same dynamic may be playing out today around the anticipated $1.75 trillion SpaceX IPO.
Analyst Michael Robinson has identified a tiny, under-the-radar supplier - just 1/60th the size of SpaceX - that he believes sits at the center of Elon Musk's broader AI infrastructure buildout. | | Watch Robinson's presentation and see the details before the IPO window closes |

From Our Partners | | Ross Givens, Director of Research at Traders Agency, is calling for gold to reach $10,000 an ounce this supercycle - and says that may be conservative. Billionaire Pierre Lassonde has argued for $19,000. Former CIA advisor Jim Rickards targets $27,000 based on a federal revaluation of the gold supply.
But the bigger opportunity may not be gold itself. A 'backdoor' gold-linked asset has historically multiplied gold's move by 10x or more - returning 846%, 1,668%, 1,847%, and 1,915% in the last supercycle. | | Watch the free video briefing and learn the No. 1 trade to leverage rising gold |
