Good MorningThe S&P 500 started the week on uncertain footing, falling a half percent at the session's close to extend Friday's sell-off. The sell-off stems from uncertainty over Trump's economic policies, inflation, and the Fed, potentially leading to a 5% correction by month’s end. However, a more profound decline is unlikely without a change to the fundamental outlook, which remains solid.
This week's hurdles are two-fold. On the one hand, results from the retailers are expected to come with tepid guidance, while on the other, inflation data is due. The monthly reading of the PCE index is due Friday and is expected to show inflation cooling compared to the prior year. The forecast is for core and heading inflation to fall about 20 bps relative to the preceding month but remain hot near 2.5%. At these levels, the FOMC will unlikely cut interest rates without additional cooling. Featured: Important: case study on TGT (Wealthpin Pro)
