Good MorningEquity markets went on a topsy-turvy ride last week due to rising fear of a banking crisis and the FOMC. The FOMC went ahead and hiked another 25 basis points, indicating another hike is on the way. The risk for the market is that PCE data is due out next week and may not give the Fed much choice on the future of interest rates. The S&P 500 closed higher for the week but showed resistance at the 150-day moving average.
This will be another trying week for the market. Investors and trades will be on edge, waiting for the next bank to fail, and there will be little in the way of economic data or earnings to sustain action in the interim. The S&P 500 may be able to move higher on the lack of news, but a sustained rally is far from likely. Featured: Trump’s emergency dollar reset (Ad)

Research from Vanguard suggests advisor best practices - covering allocation, rebalancing, tax management, and behavioral coaching - may add roughly 3% in net annual return potential. Morningstar's 2025 data shows the average investor return gap is 1.2% per year due to mistimed buying and selling.
