Good MorningThe S&P 500 was treading water last week as market participants weighed the underlying economic fundamentals against the as-yet unquantifiable impact of tariffs. It is widely accepted that tariffs will impact inflation, but the question is how much and for how long they will impact it. If inflation spikes significantly and/or lingers, the odds of the FOMC cutting interest rates without a recession are low. In this scenario, the United States will enter a period of the much-dreaded stagflation, and returns on equities will become tepid.
Next week's hurdles include a key economic report on inflation. The CPI data is expected to show inflation cooling and could decline sharply. The problem for the market is that the FOMC is unlikely to act on the data and instead will wait for additional inputs later in the year. The risk is that cool inflation in April will be the last data unaffected by tariffs, and upcoming reports will reveal hot and accelerating consumer prices. The bottom line is that uncertainty remains the only certainty for average investors, and market volatility will persist. Featured: A Trump Order Could Send This $7 Stock Soaring (Ad)
