Good MorningEquity markets struggled with direction on Monday, hovering within a tight range at a critical resistance target. The action shows caution among traders ahead of the critical CPI release and other data that may alter the outlook. The CPI is expected to cool slightly, aligning with trends, and may lead to a violent reaction if hotter or cooler than expected. On the one hand, cooler-than-expected data will lead to fears of recession and deflation. Conversely, hot data will alter the timeline for FOMC interest rates and potentially bring the US closer to a recession.
The takeaway for investors is that volatility is back in the market and unlikely to subside soon. In addition to the data, earnings from major retailers like Home Depot and Walmart should also be considered. They are expected to post mixed results and shed light on the consumer economy. Results will be market-moving, but the risk is in the guidance, which may be reduced.
