Good MorningEquity markets were flat and mixed at the start of the week as traders prepared for the next inflation read. The CPI data is due today and is expected to be hot. The question is how hot it is and if it is enough to derail the FOMC from its current path. As it is, inflation remains well above the Fed's target rate and labor markets are healthy, giving little reason for them to cut rates despite the market expectations. The market has priced in a rate cut by June; it may not get one before fall.
Even if the CPI data is tame, the S&P 500 may have difficulty advancing. The tech stocks leading the rally have hit a ceiling that promises to cap gains at least until the next earnings cycle begins. That won't be for another four weeks, and it will be longer until names like Microsoft, Meta Platforms, NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices report. Until then, expect economic data to drive volatility.
