Good MorningEquity markets sold off last week as fears of inflation began to grip the market. The fear, spurred to new heights by the CPI data, is that inflation will not allow a rate cut this summer and possibly this year. In the new scenario, the FOMC will prolong the period of higher for longer, raising the risk of an economic recession. The risk of recession was highlighted by the CEO letter to shareholders from Jamie Dimon, which fingered government spending as a leading contributor.
The S&P 500 fell more than 1.5% for the week to set a new 1-month low. The sell-off is entering its 3rd week and may accelerate, given the risks. The question for investors is if it's time to Sell-in-May and go away or stick it out in hopes of higher index prices. Because the VIX spiked 25% and sustained the gains through the end of Friday's session, investors should expect volatility in the days, weeks, and months ahead. In this scenario, the S&P 500 may end the year higher but could correct deeply before rebounding to the new high. Featured: Forget Bitcoin.
