Equity markets increased on Wednesday, showing a high optimism that the CPI release would be good. The consensus is for headline CPI to recede compared to last year and for the core to hold steady, which is insufficient for the FOMC to cut rates but aligns with trends. The trend is a slow wind-down of inflation tracking toward the Fed's 2% goal. Currently, the FOMC is on course to cut rates this year and may do so twice by the end of the year.
The S&P 500 advanced 1% on Wednesday to set a new all-time high. The move indicates the rally is still on, but the risk of a correction grows. The market is extended at these levels, well above critical support targets, and divergences in the indicators mount. The caveat is that the uptrend can continue indefinitely despite the weakened indicators due to the outlook for earnings growth. With earnings expected to grow, a correction would be healthy for the market and equate to a buying opportunity.

Not every investor is in the market for the long haul. Some prefer short time frames and volatile stocks, looking to make a profit in days or weeks rather than years. Short-term investors occasionally find a big win (like the short squeezes in meme stocks back in 2021), but day and swing trading is often more about grinding out small wins and minimizing losses. If you want to get into short-term trading, you’ll need to understand why day and swing traders look at different factors and concepts than long-term investors. Short-term trading requires technical skill, market trend know...
The founder of Archegos Capital Management, a hedge fund that collapsed in 2021, was convicted Wednesday of securities and market manipulation fraud in a scheme that prosecutors said cost global investment banks billions of dollars.Bill Hwang looked straight ahead as the verdict was read, taking several sips of water as the jury found him guilty of 10 criminal counts. He was acquitted of one charge of market manipulation but was convicted of six others.

PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PDD) is a Chinese e-commerce company that mainly operates two popular online businesses. The core business is the social commerce company Pinduoduo. Temu is their second business, an online store known for selling heavily discounted products sourced directly from manufacturers and factories in China.

A pair of government regulators slapped Citigroup with a $135.6 million fine on Wednesday, saying the bank has made insufficient progress in resolving longstanding internal control and risk issues. It's a major blow to Jane Fraser, the bank's CEO, who has staked her career on making Citi leaner and less complex.The fines come from the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which said in separate releases that Citigroup had failed to meet its obligations stemming from a 2020 consent order related to the bank's risk and control issues. While the regulators said the bank had made progress, there were still significant problems at the bank that required the OCC and Fed to assess additional penalties.
