Good MorningThe S&P 500 hovered near break-even on Tuesday as market participants waited on today's critical CPI reading. The PPI indicated a possibly weaker-than-forecast figure, which would relieve investors. However, inflation is trending flat at elevated levels even with better-than-expected data and is unlikely to spur the FOMC to cut interest rates. The best that should be expected is a wait-and-see posture, with the first interest rate reduction unlikely until late summer, if at all.
Today is the peak Q4 earnings reporting kick-off. Reports from big banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs, are due. The expectations are high for solid revenue and earnings growth, but guidance will be what matters. If the results are strong and the guidance positive, the S&P 500 will likely move higher, resume its uptrend, and set new highs this quarter.
