Good MorningEquity markets ended a mixed week on a down note Friday, falling more than 1.0% at the day's low. The S&P 500 enters this week on an uncertain footing with an FOMC meeting on tap. The market is pricing in a 25 basis point interest rate hike, which is likely, but it is also pricing in a lower peak than last week. This is a risk, given the state of inflation and the most recent FOMC commentary. Given the Fed's stance, the new policy statement is more likely to support the idea of higher rates for longer.
Ultimately, the outlook for earnings will keep the market moving in one direction or another. As it is, the consensus figures for the year continue to decline and weigh heavily on the S&P 500. Some stocks are set up to rebound during the spring, but more will remain range bound or fall to new lows. Featured: Not Three or Four Stocks... (TCS)
