Good MorningThe S&P 500 started the week on uncertain footing, sliding more than a half percent at the session's low. The move was sparked by word from China that it was investigating NVIDIA for potential violations of anti-monopoly laws. The violations relate to the acquisition of Mellanox in 2019 and the timing of disclosures. China requires product detail disclosures within 90 days to ensure rivals have a chance to compete.
This week's hurdle will be the CPI data on Wednesday. The CPI is expected to accelerate at the headline level and hold steady at the core, giving the FOMC little reason to lower rates next week when it meets. The bad news is that the outlook for lower interest rates is moderating. The good news is that the economy remains solid and fuels earnings growth among S&P 500 businesses. The outlook for earnings growth is for sequential acceleration in Q4 and the next year, which will be a tailwind for the market. Featured: The A.I. Gold Rush Starts Now (Ad)
