Good MorningEquity markets continue to hover within a tight range near record highs. The market is in wait-and-see mode, with a focus on the FOMC. The FOMC is slated to meet next week and is expected to lower interest rates and give color on the policy path in future meetings. The market expects a semi-robust pace of policy easing, with the CME FedWatch Tool forecasting 50 basis points of cuts by the year's end and another 75 to 100 bps by the end of next year. Economic data could alter the outlook for rate cuts. Three critical reads this week, including the Q3 GDP, the PCE price index, and the non-farm payrolls report, are expected to show economic strength. With economic strength in the picture and inflation falling slowly to the 2.0% target, the FOMC need not cut as quickly as forecast. The risk is sudden economic slowing. The September JOLTs report came in at the weakest levels in years, raising fear of a recession, but remained elevated and strong relative to the pre-COVID levels, aligning with healthy economic conditions.
