Good MorningEquity markets sold off after an as-expected CPI report but regained footing, rebounded, and moved higher before the close. The takeaway is that the FOMC remains on track to cut interest rates, the economy is on track for a soft landing, the market is amid a sector rotation, and volatility should be expected over the coming weeks.

Based on the latest data, about 100 basis points worth of cuts by the year's end, which is unlikely given the economic data.

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.
