Good MorningEquity markets gained over 1.0% on Friday to close at a new 1-year high. The move was inspired by softer-than-expected PCE price data that suggests the FOMC is near the end of its tightening cycle. The caution for investors is that inflation remains hot at 4.1% core, and the oil price is rising again. Oil prices underpin inflation; with WTI set to move to a multi-month high, inflation will accelerate again.
This week will be another trying 1 for investors. A host of earnings reports is due out this week on top of the monthly labor data. The NFP report is expected to show another solid increase in job creation and rising wages. The risk is two-fold; a hot figure will play into the idea that the FOMC is not through raising interest rates, while a cool 1 may foreshadow the recession that has loomed for the last year.

From Our Partners | | Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security.
The last time America reset its currency - under Nixon in the 1970s - it created an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over 50 years. Stansberry has identified three asset categories connected to Trump's initiative that could surge, plus his single top investment move. | | Watch the documentary briefing and find out which side you land on |
