Good MorningEquity markets were quiet on Monday as traders and investors brace for what could be a monumental FOMC announcement. The FOMC meets on Tuesday and Wednesday and could increase interest rates by a full 100 basis points in an effort to front run inflation. The risk if they don't is that inflation will continue to accelerate and the next read on the PCE index is just two days later.

The consensus for core PCE is a gain of 0.6% or twice the monthly gain set in May. At this pace, the YOY gain is expected to be at least flat from the prior month and we think it could be much hotter.
In other news, this is the busiest week of the Q2 earnings reporting cycle and it could be a volatile one. Reports from Facebook (Meta) and Google (Alphabet) are only two potential market movers and there are hot names reporting from every sector.
