Good MorningThe S&P 500 started the week quietly, hugging break-even in Monday's session, trading in a narrow range. The move is a sign of caution before the next PCE report, due later this week. The PCE is expected to show inflation hovering at recent levels, aligning with the idea that the FOMC will not cut rates this year. In this scenario, the FOMC will likely keep rates at their current level until there is more proof that inflation is tamed. That may not be until late this year or early next.
The S&P 500 is in rally mode and may move higher despite persistently hot inflation. The market may not care about the timing of the first interest rate cut so long as the Fed's next move is to cut. In this scenario, inflation could run hot indefinitely, and the S&P 500 will move higher because of economic expansion and earnings growth. The risk is that economic growth will stagnate before inflation is tamed, leading to stagflation and an economic winter. Featured: Forget the million-dollar nest egg (Ad)

| From Our Partners | | In 1999, George Gilder predicted phones would outpower desktop computers. Apple's iPhone followed, and the stock climbed 12,107 percent.
He called streaming video over Blockbuster in 1990 and flagged an obscure online bookshop named Amazon in 1996. Netflix rose 118,823 percent at its peak; Amazon is up 250,300 percent counting splits.
Gilder now points to three converging technologies he calls the Trillion Dollar Triangle, which he believes could outweigh those past breakthroughs combined. | | See the Trillion Dollar Triangle George Gilder is pointing at now |
