Good Morning

Equity markets resumed their sell-off on Thursday, giving up much of the gains made on Wednesday. The takeaway is that Trump's tariff reprieve was good news for the market but not enough to put the global economy back on track as it was just 60 days ago. The likely scenario is that equities will move sideways within a wide range, if not move lower to set a new low before the end of the month.

The CPI report helped relieve some market fear. The March CPI reading shows headline and core inflation subsiding faster than expected and nearing the 2.0% target. The question is now whether the index will calmly move to 2% or crash through it as tariffs and trade disruptions impact demand. In that scenario, the FOMC can lower rates as quickly or as deeply as it likes and have little impact on the economic outlook.
