Good MorningS&P 500 stocks edged higher on Thursday after a cooler-than-expected reading on producer prices compounded the soft CPI data reading the day prior. The combined impact on the market is a reduced expectation for tariff impact and an increasing expectation for FOMC rate cuts. However, these are not expected until later in the year. The S&P 500 continues to track higher and is likely to hit new highs soon, absent any negative news.
There is a risk of bad news. While trade relations appear to be stabilizing, no agreements have been finalized, and there is ample opportunity for deterioration. In the event of a market sell-off, the decline could be substantial due to the impact on the earnings outlook. The S&P 500 is expected to grow earnings in 2025; however, forecasts have been in decline for months and could turn negative by year's end.
