Good MorningThe S&P 500 continues to advance. The broad market index advanced more than half percent on Wednesday and set another fresh all-time high. The move was aided by a slate of economic data that aligns with economic health and sustained earnings growth for the index. In this scenario, the S&P 500 can continue to move higher indefinitely and may gain another few hundred points by the year's end.
The index's next big stumbling block is the FOMC meeting next week. The FOMC is expected to cut rates another 25 basis points and indicate lower rates to come, but it may disappoint the market. This week's labor data has confirmed an outlook for steady growth, which means half of the dual mandate is met. With inflation increasing over the last few months, the need for significantly lower rates in 2025 is greatly diminished. Featured: AI Meltdown Imminent: Dump These Stocks Now! (Ad)
