Good MorningEquity markets advanced Thursday, shrugging off the hot CPI data favoring corporate earnings, and closed within inches of a fresh all-time high. The outlook for 2025 continues to remain strong in the face of mixed results and guidance, leaving the S&P 500 on track to hit new highs today or early next week. Soft PPI data, which alleviated some fear of inflation, and news that peace talks to end the war in Ukraine may soon start also played a role.
Economic data will drive Friday's action. The January retail sales figures are due and expected to show a contraction compared to the previous month. Even so, the 0.2% contraction indicated by consensus estimates is tepid and expected due to seasonal trends; the critical read will be the YoY comparison. Sales grew by nearly 4% in December, outpacing inflation, and are expected to remain strong in 2025. Featured: Crypto Genius: Forget bitcoin – this will be so much bigger (Ad)
