Good MorningThe sell-off in equities gained momentum on Wednesday, with the S&P down another half percent. The move is due to the growing certainty the FOMC won't cut interest in Q1 or even in Q2. As is, higher-for-longer means June or later and later is a significant possibility. Inflation has subsided, but recent data suggests a trough in the data is forming that could leave high rates in place through the end of the year.
The S&P 500 is struggling with resistance and may be unable to move higher. Even if Q4 earnings are better than expected, the outlook for EPS growth this year is expected to deteriorate. That situation could leave the index range bound with a chance of selling off sharply. Without a bullish catalyst, the odds are high that January will end with equities flat to down, signaling a lackluster year for stocks in 2024.

Markets | | | .Job gains and raises helped power solid economic growth in the U.S. last year, but what if those gains were a mirage?
