Good MorningEquity markets opened with a gain on Thursday but quickly reversed course, shedding nearly 1.0% for the day. The move shows that resistance to higher prices remains at the all-time high and may cap gains over the next month or two. The FOMC minutes aligned with the idea of rate cuts in September, while data suggests the economic outlook is still strong, bringing sector rotation back to the forefront. In this scenario, investors should expect to see market leaders such as NVIDIA underperform over the coming weeks despite results as investors shed profitable trades to raise capital.
The VIX is another sign that investors should pay attention to. The fear index has begun rising again and is setting up for another spike. That could come at any time, given the proper catalyst, and there are catalysts on the horizon. The two primary are an earnings report from NVIDIA next week and the PCE report due next Friday. The risk for markets is that CPI data could spark a sell-off regardless of inflation; a hot report will keep rates higher, a cool report will raise fear of recession, and as-expected will keep sector rotation in play. Investors should expect volatility; the only question is how much. Featured: America's murder capital holds a wealth-building phenomenon (Porter & Company)
