Good MorningEquity markets advanced another day on Monday, making the fourth consecutive weekly gain since the start of the year. Although the year started on uncertain footing, the S&P 500 has been able to advance and set high after high, foreshadowing a potentially strong year for stocks. This week's risk is twofold: it is the peak of Q4 reporting, and the FOMC is set to issue its next policy move.
More than 125 S&P 500 companies are reporting this week, including most of the Magnificent Seven. These market-leading stocks are expected to post robust reports and guide strongly for 2024. The risk is that strength may already be priced into the market, and the results may not be strong enough to catalyze new highs.
The FOMC is expected to hold rates steady at the meeting on Wednesday. The FOMC is also expected to hint at when the first interest rate cut will be; the risk is that the FOMC target is likely to be later than the market hopes. The market wants a cut by May at the latest, the FOMC may not deliver one until late summer at the earliest without a major deterioration in the economic outlook.
