Good MorningEquity markets tread water below a critical resistance target on Tuesday while traders and investors waited for today's release of the CPI data. The CPI data is expected to show cooling inflation but may not be enough to reinvigorate the rally. The best-case scenario is for as-expected data, which aligns with the outlook for FOMC interest rate cuts, sector rotation, and stock market volatility. The worst-case scenarios include cooler-than-expected and hotter-than-expected inflation, which would raise fear of recession in the first case and fear of higher-for-longer interest rates and increase the risk of a recession in the other.
As important as the CPI data is, the big hurdle for equities is next Wednesday when the FOMC issues its policy statement. The expectation for rate cuts is high and may not match the reality of what the Fed is willing to give. Although there are signs of economic weakening, they are spotty and offset by strengths, including a growing labor market, low unemployment, and an expanding services sector.
