Good MorningInvestors were taken for a ride in the preceding week, with the S&P 500 shedding 3.5% at the session's low. Mounting fears of tariffs, government job cuts, and geopolitical tensions are the cause, but the news is not all bad. The S&P appears to have reached its bottom on Friday, as evidenced by the mid-day turnaround that confirmed support at a critical level. That level aligns with lows set before Trump's election and is unlikely to be broken.
Fed Chief Jerome Powell's comments on Friday helped calm the market's frayed nerves. The Fed said it was in a good position to wait and see what happens with Trump's policies, alluding to solid labor markets and otherwise positive economic data. The takeaway for investors is that the market has likely entered a wait-and-see mode and will trend sidewise over the coming weeks. The next significant catalysts are next week's CPI reading and the FOMC meeting the week after. Featured: Jeff Brown's Urgent March 17th Alert (Brownstone Research)
