Good MorningEquity markets started the week on uncertain footing, pulling back slightly following a week of solid gains. The move is due partly to caution. The PCE price index is due out later this week and may alter the trajectory of FOMC policy. Contrary to the idea that inflation is cooling, the PCE index is expected to accelerate at the headline and hold steady at the core level. The risk is that inflation will be hotter than expected and/or remain at current hot levels longer than anticipated, keeping the FOMC from cutting rates in the first half or this year.
Regardless of whether the FOMC cuts interest rates, the US economy remains resilient, and the S&P 500 is in rally mode. In this scenario, a Fed is put in place that will keep the S&P 500 moving higher indefinitely. Because the FOMC policy is historically high, it can cut rates or ease policy in some way anytime there are signs of economic weakening.
