Good MorningEquity markets started the week quietly. The S&P 500 traded within a tight range near record highs, making the 10th consecutive day within the range. The move is one of caution and indecision. The outlook for earnings is positive, but the FOMC and inflation offset it. The question on everyone's mind is whether economic momentum will be sustained through the summer and into the fall; Monday's data did little to assuage fears. ISM and flash PMI data were mixed, with one showing expansion and the other contraction while construction spending fell versus an expectation for gain. The takeaway is that the market is climbing a wall of worry, and the concerns mount. Eventually, the market will become too top-heavy to advance, and a correction will begin.
This week's risk is an important economic reading delivered on a holiday-shortened week. The June NFP report will be released on Friday, after the July 4th holiday. The market conditions will likely include light volume, so a surprise report could cause a significant move. The risk is that a move in either direction could trigger algorithmic investing and accelerate the action. Featured: Biden Debate Disaster (Banyan Hill Publishing)
