Good MorningThe rebound in equities paused on Tuesday as traders brace for what could be a difficult few days. The upcoming CPI and PPI reports should confirm peak interest rates but may not point to the first interest rate cuts. In that scenario, the FOMC may not make the first interest rate cuts until late in the year or later, after last year's hikes have had time to fully impact the economy. Until then, the risk of recession remains.
The CME FedWatch Tool indicates a better-than-60% chance for a rate cut at the next FOMC meeting in less than a month. A warmer-than-expected inflation reading would blow that outlook out of the water and may send the S&P 500 crashing. As it is, the broad market index is trading beneath critical resistance at the all-time high, and the action looks toppy with earnings season set to begin on Friday.
