Good Morning

The stock market blew off the FOMC's latest policy announcement, expecting the committee to back off the dovish rhetoric in favor of a wait-and-see attitude. The bad news is that interest rates will remain higher for longer, but the cause offsets it. Economic expansion, healthy labor markets, consumer strength, and the inflation they cause. The takeaway for investors is that businesses have adjusted to the "new normal" of higher rates and are growing; margins are forecasted to widen in 2025, and earnings are robust. However, the risk of high inflation remains. Higher-than-wanted inflation could lead the FOMC back into a hiking cycle and cause a recession.

Thursday's trading could be lackluster. The market cleared a hurdle on Wednesday, the FOMC meeting, but still has the December PCE report to contend with. December PCE is expected to run hot and accelerate from the previous month, aligning with an outlook for higher interest rates to linger well into 2026 or longer.
