Good MorningEquity markets did a head-fake the prior week, correcting on FOMC rate fears and rebounding on solid tech earnings. The S&P 500 advanced more than 1.5% for the week, with most of the gains made on Friday. News from Meta Platforms and Amazon are among the drivers and likely to take their respective stocks to new highs. Meta could double this year on its way to a $2 trillion valuation.
The coming week could be more of the same. There isn't a lot of economic data, but there are nearly a dozen speaking engagements by Fed members. By the week's end, we should have a clearer outlook on where the committee stands regarding the pace of interest rate cuts, which are not expected to begin soon. The NFP data on Friday confirms economic momentum persists; if the FOMC lets off the economic brakes too soon inflation will accelerate again and lead the committee back into a rate-hiking posture.
