Good MorningEquity markets advanced on Monday, hoping the FOMC will signal the first rate cut is coming soon. Last week's employment data was soft, leading the market to think economic deterioration will push the FOMC to act, but it is a mistake to think a cut will come before July. The pace of job creation was slower than expected, and unemployment ticked higher, but the sum of the data points to healthy, resilient labor markets, which gives the FOMC no reason to cut at the next meeting without other data to back up the decision.
The S&P 500 gained more than 1%, extending the rebound that had begun two weeks prior. The market looks set to retest the all-time high and could read it soon. The next hurdle for the market will be earnings from the retail sector and the April inflation data. Both are due out next week. Until then, the target for S&P 500 resistance is 5,265, which could be strong. If the market is unable to set a new high, the odds of a deeper, 10% to 20% correction will grow.
