Good MorningEquity markets increased on Wednesday, showing a high optimism that the CPI release would be good. The consensus is for headline CPI to recede compared to last year and for the core to hold steady, which is insufficient for the FOMC to cut rates but aligns with trends. The trend is a slow wind-down of inflation tracking toward the Fed's 2% goal. Currently, the FOMC is on course to cut rates this year and may do so twice by the end of the year.
The S&P 500 advanced 1% on Wednesday to set a new all-time high. The move indicates the rally is still on, but the risk of a correction grows. The market is extended at these levels, well above critical support targets, and divergences in the indicators mount. The caveat is that the uptrend can continue indefinitely despite the weakened indicators due to the outlook for earnings growth. With earnings expected to grow, a correction would be healthy for the market and equate to a buying opportunity. Featured: Elon’s big $266,000 per second purchase (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security.
The last time America reset its currency - under Nixon in the 1970s - it created an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over 50 years. Stansberry has identified three asset categories connected to Trump's initiative that could surge, plus his single top investment move. | | Watch the documentary briefing and find out which side you land on |
