Good MorningEquities failed to advance significantly last week despite good news, indicating a top for equities is near. Neither better-than-expected results from NVIDIA nor cooler-than-expected inflation lifted equities, suggesting a rocky road ahead in September. The risk now is that the S&P 500 will enter another correction in September and could fall 10% or more before hitting bottom. If the FOMC fails to deliver on rate cuts as expected, the move could exceed 20% and happen within weeks.
This week's hurdle is the labor data. The monthly labor data is due out and unlikely to soften, leaving the FOMC without the need to support it. In this scenario, the FOMC could hold off on rate cuts for another cycle, reducing the odds of three cuts by year's end and increasing the chances for a recession.
