Good MorningEquity markets took investors on a wild ride Wednesday, with the S&P 500 opening lower and hovering near its lows until mid-afternoon when it finally began to recover. The move was driven by an announcement that some tariffs would be delayed by 90 days. The news sent the S&P up by more than 9%, suggesting the bottom is in for the correction, but investors should be cautious. Delayed does not mean the tariffs won’t be enforced or that no tariffs are in place, because they are—and they will impact earnings power across the broad market. A little more than 40% of the index’s revenue is generated outside the U.S., so tariffs are still a problem.
The CPI report will drive Thursday's action. The CPI report is expected to show that inflation remains hot but may give the market a reprieve. Cooler-than-expected data would play into the idea of FOMC interest rate cuts, and now there is additional reason to believe that inflation will become less of a problem in 2025. Oil prices hit a multi-year low and will likely remain low due to production and supply trends. Featured: Gold did this exact thing in 1975… [then exploded] (Ad)
