Good MorningEquity markets sold off hard on Monday, starting the week with fear in the driver's seat as the risk of recession comes back into the spotlight. While underlying economics remain healthy, drastic government labor force reductions and policy changes have put the United States on track for a potential slowdown. The question is how quickly the private sector can absorb the influx of available workers. Now that the S&P 500 index has moved below critical support at the 5,700 level, its next move will likely be lower. In this scenario, the index could extend its sell-off to 20% or more and retest levels not seen since the middle of 2024.
The remainder of the week could be equally volatile. The February CPI report is due Wednesday and may not alleviate market fear. Inflation is expected to be moderate from the previous month but remain high, near 3.0%, at the core and headline levels. The FOMC is unlikely to lower rates quickly or soon, with inflation near 3.0%, increasing the risk of a recession. Featured: Missed the Last 10,000% Surge? Here’s Your Next Chance (Ad)
