Good MorningEquity markets advanced on Monday to start the week on a positive note. The S&P 500 gained a little more than 0.60% on strength in tech, led by Google parent Alphabet. Google advanced nearly 5% after word was leaked that Apple was in talks to use its AI systems to power features on the iPhone. However, the move failed to set a new high and left the market trading beneath critical resistance ahead of the FOMC meeting.
The FOMC is set to announce the next policy move tomorrow. The FOMC is unlikely to cut rates but may indicate when to expect the first move. As it is, the market is pricing in a cut by summer but may be disappointed by the reality. Inflation remains hot and above the Fed's target with risk to the upside. Among the dangers is oil, which gained more than 2% on Monday to set a five-month high. Featured: 5 Stocks Poised to Soar Under Trump's Presidency (Ad)
