Good MorningEquity markets began the week on uncertain footing, wobbling at the previous week's close and advancing a slim 0.3% on Monday. The move reveals a hopeful market focused on earnings yet harboring doubt about the FOMC and inflation. The FOMC is meeting this week and is expected to unveil its next policy statement on Wednesday. The fear is that the next move in interest may not come until later in the year. Last week's PCE price index did not give any reason to cut rates, leaving the door open for inflation to accelerate.
The S&P 500 is poised to move higher and may advance regardless of changes in the FOMC outlook. Earnings are still solid and may return the market to retest all-time highs. The risk is that all-time highs may provide an attractive exit for investors fearful of what the 2nd half will bring. The S&P 500 will be capped at all-time highs with the risk of another, larger price correction in this scenario. Featured: Elon's New Device is About to Shock the World (InvestorPlace)
