Good MorningThe S&P 500 regained some lost ground on Thursday as bond yields eased. The move reveals support for equities remains above critical levels, and the recovery is on track to retest the all-time highs. The retest of all-time S&P 500 highs is imminent; the question is whether the market will move up to set new highs and hold them or confirm resistance at the top of the range.
In the first case, the equity market can continue to rally through year's end. In the second, the market will remain range-bound until macroeconomic headwinds ease, and lower lows may be set.
Next week's hurdle is inflation data. The PCE price index is due on Friday and is expected to show inflation cooling. The caveat is that the FOMC is unlikely to act on the news until later in the year due to concerns that Trump's policies will sustain inflation. As it is, economic conditions remain healthy if not vibrant and capable of sustaining growth in 2025 and 2026. Featured: Trump is replacing the U.S. dollar (Ad)
