Good MorningEquity markets plunged on Thursday as investor sentiment soured. The results from NVIDIA were better than expected but provided no new catalyst to drive sentiment. The risk is that the S&P 500 will continue to move lower in the coming week and send the index into a full-blown correction. The critical support target for the S&P 500 is near 5,780 and will likely be tested soon.
Today's PCE price index could alleviate some of the market's fears. The index is expected to show inflation cooling compared to the prior month, possibly enough to allow the FOMC to cut rates at least once this year. However, even with a reduction in yearly inflation compared to the prior month, consumer-level inflation continues to run hot. It is a risk for investors that is not likely to go away quickly. The question is whether the S&P 500 can continue to grow its earnings in this environment as it has done for the last year. Featured: Sell these "safe" blue chips immediately (Ad)

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.
