Good MorningEquity markets reverted to selling on Wednesday after the White House announced it would soon reveal a new slate of tariffs aimed at automobiles. The S&P 500 shed 1.25% at the session's low, confirming resistance at the 150-day EMA and increasing the chances the Q1 pullback could extend to 20% or more. Tech stocks, including NVIDIA and Tesla, were among the loss leaders and shed about 6% each.
Thursday's trading may not be better. The market is in wait-and-see mode with inflation, and a critical read is due tomorrow. The PCE price index is expected to show inflation accelerate at the core level, an event likely to spur market fear to new heights. The FOMC is unlikely to cut interest rates with inflation accelerating, increasing the risk of a recession. Featured: What Trump’s planning next (Porter & Company)
