Your Evening Recap for Sunday, May 19thEquity markets set a new all-time high last week on renewed hopes the FOMC would start cutting interest rates soon. The caveat is that while inflation is slowing, it is still hot and at record levels, squeezing the consumer between high prices and high interest rates. In this scenario, consumer spending isn't keeping up with the pace of inflation, and the economy is set up for contraction. This week brings renewed risk for the markets. The economic calendar is light, but at least a half dozen speaking engagements by Fed members may shed light on the outlook for rate cuts. Additionally, the minute meetings from the FOMC's May meeting will be released on Wednesday and may reveal a Fed hesitant to cut. The S&P 500 should be able to set more new highs so long as the FOMC remains on track to cut, regardless of the timeline. The risk is that higher-for-longer may mean higher for the foreseeable future, which is not what the market is pricing. Featured: Did a Miracle Just Happened in Fremont, California? (InvestorPlace) |
