Good MorningInflation is the dominant theme on Wall Street today. While COVID-19 issues linger, it is inflation that poses the most risk to the market. Last week, the PPI figure came in much hotter than expected at the headline, core, and YOY levels pointing to another increase in CPI down the road. With CPI already running well above 2.0% for going on 10 months, it is no wonder the FOMC finally decided to act. The risk for the market now is that inflation will continue to run hot for the next 2 - 3 months and force the FOMC to accelerate its timeline again.
This week will be all about the Santa Claus Rally and whether or not it will come. Traditionally the time between Christmas and New Year, the Santa Claus rally is never a foregone conclusion. What traders need to remember this week is that it is a holiday week, trading volume will be very light, and any move the market makes is subject to reversal at the drop of a hat.
