Good MorningThe markets gave up Monday's gains on Tuesday as markets digested commentary and Q&A from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and FOMC chief Jerome Powell. The two tried to assured markets that upcoming spikes in inflation will be small and short-lived and the two would work in concert to alleviate shortfalls in the labor market. The S&P 500 fell close to 1 percent at the low of the day and was led by larger losses in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ Composite.
Wednesday could be a repeat of Tuesday’s action. There is little in the way of economic data or earnings news on the calendar and another day of testimony from the once and former FOMC chief. Later this week a read on core inflation could move the market all well. The consensus is for a gain of 0.1% compared to 0.3% in the month prior, a hotter than expected number would reinforce the market's fear of rising inflation.
