Good MorningEquity markets retreated for the 3rd day on Wednesday as investors weighed details from the FOMC minutes. The minutes reveal a Fed uneasy about cutting interest rates because of the inflation risk. Economic activity is steady and on track for a soft landing; easing up on rates too soon would reinvigorate activity and inflation. In that scenario, the FOMC would have to hike rates again soon and possibly keep them there indefinitely. As it is, higher for longer may mean longer than the market is pricing.
Earnings from tech giant NVIDIA will be the driving force for market activity on Thursday. The risk is expectations. In the last twelve months, the market has pushed NVIDIA's share price up 360% on ramping AI activity and may have outrun reality. Even with a blowout report, the market is overbought, and the trade is crowded, setting it up for correction. Without NVIDIA and big tech to drive it, the S&P 500 may have nowhere to go but lower.
