Good MorningThe PCE price index was a dose of good news for the S&P 500 that helped it to set a new all-time high last week. However, the news did not sustain upward momentum, resulting in a lower close on Friday. The takeaway is that the FOMC is on track to pivot to lower rates later this year, but the S&P 500, which is extended at fresh highs, is due for a correction.
The risk this week is twofold. On the one hand, key economic readings, including the FOMC minutes and NFP report, are due. Conversely, the July 4th holiday means a shortened trading week and low volume. The combination can result in sharp, knee-jerk market reactions, so investors should be wary. The next significant market-moving news will be out the following week and will better indicate the market's long-term direction. That news is the earnings reports from the largest financial institutions in the U.S. Featured: A new way to collect income from stocks (DTI)
