Good MorningEquity markets advanced in the preceding week but may not get much higher. The S&P 500 is facing stiff resistance near 4,610, and multiple catalysts due this week could dampen appetite for stocks. Among them are the CPI inflation data, the FOMC policy decision and the November retail sales. Because inflation is expected to run hot again, the FOMC is unlikely to alter its stance on interest rates. The retail sales figure may also be disappointing, given the impact on spending that higher prices and interest rates have.
The next move for the S&P will be telling. If the market manages to move up to a new high this week, the odds of it setting a new all-time high are near certain. If not, the market will remain range-bound for the foreseeable future and a Santa Claus Rally is unlikely. In that scenario, a move to retest support near 4,550 is the least investors should worry about because a much deeper correction could be coming.
