Good MorningThe S&P 500 pulled back on Tuesday as market participants braced for Wednesday's FOMC interest rate decision. The committee is not expected to cut rates at this meeting, but may indicate a cut in an upcoming one. The risk for the markets is that uncertainty in the outlook could keep the FOMC from acting, and, even if they do, forces out of their control drive macroeconomic conditions in 2025. A recession may be unavoidable.
Where the market goes next may already be determined. The trade environment is not improving, and tariffs still stand. S&P 500 companies are cutting or suspending guidance, and the forecast for 2025 earnings growth is deteriorating. In this scenario, the market has nowhere to go but down and could set new lows before summer. The caution for investors and traders is that positive news regarding trade could be announced at any time and reinvigorate the bull market.
