Good MorningEquity markets rebounded from Wednesday's Fed-induced sell-off, but Thursday's action gives little reason to think the selling is over. The S&P gained less than 1% to trade in the lower half of the previous day's range, creating a Harami candle pattern signaling the sell-off has the potential to gain strength. A move to retest Wednesday's low is likely, and a move to new lows is possible. The market could fall as low as 5,700 in that scenario before the S&P 500 hits firm support.
Today will be a test for the market. The PCE Price Index is due and expected to confirm inflation is rising. A hot report will strengthen the Fed's resolve, possibly leading them to reduce the rate cut outlook again and give the market a reason to sell. The silver lining is that the underlying causes of high inflation are demand and economic health, which are drivers of corporate earnings and bullish for stocks.
