Good MorningEquity markets sold off after an as-expected CPI report but regained footing, rebounded, and moved higher before the close.

The next hurdle will come soon with the FOMC's September policy statement, which may disappoint because the market continues to price in a high chance for aggressive rate cuts. Based on the latest data, about 100 basis points worth of cuts by the year's end, which is unlikely given the economic data.
The Q3 earnings season is approaching and may be less than the market hoped. Banker JPMorgan Chase & Company's caution amounts to reduced guidance for NII and expenses, a key driver of revenue and earnings that could impact other banks. The risk is that earnings weakness will impact sectors aside from banking and undercut the outlook for the year.
