Good MorningEquity markets fell on Tuesday following a downgrade in the banking sector. Moody's downgraded several mid-sized banks causing the entire market to fall. Investors bought the dip so the rally may not be stalled; the caution is that CPI data due on Thursday could be hotter than expected. Regardless, the CPI is expected to come in relatively flat compared to the prior month, which is not a signal for the FOMC to lower interest rates.
The S&P 500 fell more than 1.0% at the session's low but rebounded to regain more than half the loss by the end of the day. The move shows support at the 30-day moving average, but support may be fleeting given the upcoming CPI report. Inflation is underpinned by oil prices, among other factors, and oil prices are on the rise. WTI had a volatile session on Tuesday but rebounded from its lows to close with a gain. The takeaway is that the FOMC is still a risk, and it will likely raise rates again. Featured: The 7 Best Stocks to Own in Summer 2025 (Ad)
