Good MorningEquity markets rebounded strongly on Wednesday as fear of the Fed was overcome by optimism for earnings growth later in the year. The move was led by tech stocks like Apple and Amazon which gained 2% and 3%, respectively. The S&P 500 advanced about 1.5% at the day's high, closing near the highs and shy of a 2-week high. If the market can advance again and set a new high, it will open the door for a more significant move.
The risk is that resistance for the broad market is not far above. The 4,100 level has been significant resistance multiple times, and there is reason to believe it will again. The PCE Price Index is due out on Friday and it is expected to confirm the Fed's stance. This means investors should expect at least one more interest rate hike, and for economic pressure to mount.
