Good MorningEquity markets rebounded on Wednesday, but the move may be short-lived. Data due today may reinforce the idea of hot inflation and Fed hawkishness, pushing the timeline for rate cuts out another few months. Among the causes for concern is a spike in mortgage rates, with home buyers pulling back. Another is a risk to the banking sector due to higher for longer interest rates. The risk to small and regional banks is growing by the day, and some may not last until the FOMC decides lower rates are acceptable.
Among the data points due out today is Retail Sales. Retail Sales are expected to fall compared to last year but may outpace consensus due to higher prices at the register and lingering consumer resilience at home. On the one hand, a decline in retail sales may indicate the start of a larger economic slowdown, while on the other hand, a hot read will keep the Fed policy tight. In both cases risk for equities abounds. Featured: This Stock Could Go Up 66% or More. (Chaikin Analytics)
