Tech stocks offer the largest gains for investors because the opportunity for growth is immense.

Good MorningEquity markets were flat on Thursday as traders digest the latest inflation data. The inflation data aligns with expectations, but expectations may be too optimistic. The FOMC is on track to cut rates, but perhaps not in 2024. Inflation is slowing but still rising, and prices are at record highs. The risk for the FOMC is that stepping back policy could lead to another acceleration of inflation and put the economy in a worse position.
The S&P 500 set a new high this week and may continue higher. The bullish technical setup could lead the market up another 200 points or more. The risk is that the market is still pricing and repricing the FOMC outlook and could reverse at a moment's notice. The next few weeks will be telling. Among the hurdles are earnings reports from key players like NVIDIA, which are set to release results next week. Because NVIDIA is responsible for much of the S&P gains and is fueling the AI hype, a tepid release could deeply impact the broader market.
