Good MorningThe equity market bounced back strongly on Monday after news that the U.S. and China had reached the early stages of a trade agreement. The news that reciprocal tariffs would be postponed for another 90 days sent ripples of relief through an overstressed market, and the S&P up by more than 3%. The takeaway for investors is that the market is moving past peak fear and into the tariff end-game, which will bring a certain amount of certainty back to the investment world.
Another critical takeaway is that, with the tariff threat diminished, the FOMC will have an easier time making the first interest rate cut of the year. The CPI report will drive Tuesday's action, which is expected to show inflation cooling. If inflation cools more than expected, the market rally could accelerate on hopes the FOMC will cut rates at the next meeting or at least before the end of summer.
