Good MorningInvestors got a dose of good news with Thursday's CPI report. The data was cooler than expected on a month-to-month and year-over-year basis, aligning with the expectation that the FOMC would cut rates at least once this year. The data from the CME suggests two cuts are possible by December, which is now the hope.
The bad news is that the CPI data was a sell-the-news event. The S&P 500 surged initially but opened weakly and moved lower throughout the day, closing with a loss of nearly 1%. The silver lining is that the S&P 500 is extended and needs a periodic correction to alleviate overbought conditions. This means the pullback, should it deepen, is reasonable considering the long-term outlook and should result in a buying opportunity soon. Featured: Watch This Robotics Demo Before July 23rd (Ad)
