Good MorningThe S&P 500 rebound gained momentum last week and is on track to retest all-time highs soon. The question is whether the index can rise to a new high or not, and it could go either way. On the one hand, the economy remains resilient and earnings are growing. At the same time, the still-unknown impact of tariffs and Trump policies could drive the economy into a recession. The takeaway for investors is that there is as much risk being out of the market as in it.
This week's action will center on the inflation data. The CPI and PPI are due mid-week and will likely show inflation cooling. The caveat is that the FOMC is unlikely to act on the data due to underlying economic health and the uncertainty surrounding Trump's policies. The risk for them is to do anything that could upset an already unstable economic situation, potentially causing the recession they are trying to avoid. Featured: Not plywood. A power breakthrough.
