Good MorningEquity markets pulled back on Tuesday as concerns over the Middle East conflict intensified. President Trump, via social media, demanded the unconditional surrender of Iran's supreme leader and raised the risk of an all-out war. The takeaway, however, is that the underlying fundamentals remain bullish, and the S&P 500 is in a rebound and recovery mode, so any pullbacks that occur are unlikely to last or extend far.
The FOMC will drive Wednesday's action. The FOMC is expected to release its policy decision in the early afternoon and to leave interest rates unchanged. However, the Fed is also expected to provide clarity on the path of interest rates and may fail to satisfy the market. As it is, the market is pricing in a one-and-done scenario in which the Fed will cut a single time in 2025, sometime in late fall.
