Good MorningThe advancing S&P 500 peaked last week and may enter a consolidation or pull back to firmer support. The move is due to a correction in NVIDIA's stock price that shaved 5% off its stock price. NVIDIA is among the most crowded trades on Wall Street, so it may take a few weeks or longer for this movement to run its course.
This week's market risks include the CPI report and retail sales. The CPI report is expected to be hot and keep the FOMC from cutting rates quickly, while the retail sales are expected to fall and may be weaker than expected, setting the FOMC to cut rates sooner. The takeaway is the equity markets are caught in a tug-of-war in sentiment that is leading it higher. Because the economy is still resilient and the FOMC is on track to cut rates this year, a pullback in the action is a likely entry for new money.
