Good MorningThe S&P 500 advanced on Wednesday to set a new all-time high. The advance was small but sufficient to put the market on track to sustain its rally despite the increasing threat of tariffs. The latest news is the threat of even higher barriers to foreign trade, an escalation intended to force cooperation with Trump's agenda. The critical detail is the new high and the implication to the outlook, which is bullish. The index is set to advance another 20% and could reach the target within 12 to 18 months.
The next major market test will be next week. The test will include earnings results from the major retailers, foreshadowed by today's release from Walmart. The other hurdle is economic data. The PCE price index is due on Friday and will likely show hot inflation. If the data isn't too hot, the market will likely continue to rally, but there is a risk the FOMC will keep interest at the current levels indefinitely, and the risk is growing.

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
