As the year came to a close in 2023, the market edged toward its all-time high, with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) trading at its 52-week high.

Good MorningEquity markets advanced on Monday, extending the prior week's rally into new all-time high territory. However, Monday's move was small and cautious and may not lead to additional gains, given the expectation for news. The week's news includes the first read on Q4 GDP and the December PCE price index, either of which could alter the expectation for FOMC interest rate cuts. As it is, interest rates will likely remain at their current levels until well into the summer without some indication of economic weakening or deceleration of inflation.
As many reasons as there are to fear a market correction, it is hard to argue with the charts. The S&P 500 has broken to a new high and could easily extend its run through the year's first half. There is a risk the FOMC will keep rates high for longer than the market is pricing in, but so long as the economy continues to grow and the consumers spend, equity markets may not care.
