Good MorningEquity markets deepened their sell-offs after another round of good-news-is-bad-news. The Q3 GDP was hotter than expected on consumer spending, business inventories, building activity, and government spending. The takeaway is that the data may not lead the Fed to hike rates again, but it cements the idea that rates will stay high indefinitely. The US consumer is resilient and continues to spend in the face of higher prices; it may take some time for it to run out of momentum.
The next big hurdle for the market is today's reading of the PCE price index. The index is expected to accelerate from the prior month and may be hot enough to keep the market moving lower. If so, the S&P 500 could shed another 5% to 10% before hitting a firm bottom. Earnings will also be a factor in Friday trading. Reports from names like Amazon, Exxon, and Chevron are due before the open and will be market-moving events. Featured: The Secret to Finding Breakout Stocks (Free eBook Inside!) (Ad)
