Good MorningEquity markets started the week on uncertain footing as the focus shifted away from NVIDIA and AI toward economic data. A full slate of data is due out, including the January read of the PCE price index. The PCE price index is expected to show a sequential acceleration to align with the latest CPI data, news that is unlikely to spur risk-on appetite. Hot inflation will keep the FOMC's policy tight until later in the year, jeopardizing this year's earnings outlook.
The market has its hopes pinned on an interest rate cut in the first half, and it is becoming less and less likely. The CME FedWatch Tool shows a slim chance for a single 25 basis point cut by June and only a 50/50 chance for two by July. Because the 2nd-half earnings outlook depends on rates falling, a hot inflation read could have an outsized impact on the market. As it is, the S&P 500 is well above critical support and the 150-day moving average, setting it up for a high-single-digit decline when it comes.
