Good MorningThe trading week started on a sour note with the S&P 500 down at the open on Monday. The early weakness turned into a full rout for the bulls after President Trump's comments renewed economic fears. The President continues to question and cast doubt on Fed Chief Jerome Powell's independence, demanding he lower rates to support the economy. The debate about lowering interest rates continues. The Fed's next meeting is about three weeks away, and no cuts are expected, but a change to the policy statement is anticipated.
Trump headlines, earnings, and economic data will drive this week's action. On the data front, Monday's reading of Leading Indicators spells bad news for the economy. The index was unexpectedly weak at -0.7%, indicating an increased likelihood for a recession. However, the reading and its implications for the market are uncertain due to recent trends. The index has been negative more often than not for over two years, and yet there is still no recession. Featured: Trump’s betrayal exposed (Porter & Company)
