Good MorningEquity markets started the week off sour, falling on the first trading day. The S&P 500 shed about 0.30% as traders and investors brace for a dose of reality. That will come on Friday with the latest read on PCE prices. The PCE price index is expected to cool compared to the prior month and year but not sufficiently to allow a rate cut soon. The best-case scenario is that inflation continues to fall over the next two to three months and paves the way for a single 25 basis point cut later this year.
The impact on the market may be minimal. Inflation is slowing, and economic resilience is evident, which could increase the market indefinitely, given earnings growth in corporate America. The real question is what guidance will be provided for the 2nd half. The onset of the Q2 earnings reporting season is also near and will better indicate market direction. As it is, average investors believe that earnings will continue to grow through the end of next year. A change in that outlook will bring the market crashing down.
