Good MorningEquity markets surged to another new high on Thursday. The move was led by tech, with members of the Magnificent Seven up at least 1.5% across the board. NVIDIA, the AI market leader, advanced by 4% in a near-vertical move that could continue higher in the next few weeks. However, the risk for the market grows daily with each new high. The market is crowding into a few trades that continue to win and set the market up for a substantial correction.
If the non-farm payroll report doesn't send the market seeking safer levels, next week's economic data might. The February reading of CPI is due Tuesday and is expected to be another hot one. The pace of inflation may not have slowed at all in February, a situation that will reinforce the idea that the FOMC won't cut interest rates before summer. As it is, the market clings to the hope the committee will relent and let off on the economic pressure as soon as May. With only two more reads of inflation between then and now, it will take quite a drop in inflation for the Fed to act. Featured: Sell these "safe" blue chips immediately (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
