Good MorningEquity markets started the week on solid footing, holding steady from the previous week's close at record highs. The resilience is noteworthy ahead of this week's CPI data and FOMC meeting, which may alter the outlook for inflation and interest rates. The CPI is expected to show inflation slowing on a month-to-month basis but for the year-over-gains to be steady compared to the prior reading. At these levels, near 3.5%, the market should not expect to see a rate cut until next year because of the pace. At the current pace, core inflation may not hit the target 2.0% level for several more quarters, leaving the FOMC no choice but to keep rates high.
The S&P 500 may continue to move higher regardless of what the Fed says in its statement. Short of an expectation for economic catastrophe, hot inflation means demand and business activity, both driving S&P earnings growth. The market can sustain higher index prices as long as earnings continue to grow. When that situation changes, look out below.
