Good MorningEquity markets hovered in a tight range near record highs last week as participants waited on the FOMC's next move. That move will come this week when the Fed meets. The policy statement is due Wednesday afternoon and will likely move the market. The market will likely move higher if the FOMC cuts as expected and doesn't increase fear of a recession. The reasons are underlying economic strengths, S&P 500 cash flow, and capital returns. The S&P 500 is on track to increase the capital return by mid to high-single-digits in 2025.
Earnings season takes a breather this week. Numerous reports are due, but none have the power to move the entire index. The next hurdle will come the following week when reports from the first major retailers will be reported. Retailers like Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, and Target are expected to report growth. The question is how the performance compares to the low bar analysts set and what the holiday spending forecast is. Featured: The DOJ Just Paved the Way for Account Seizures (Ad)
