Good MorningEquity markets hit a ceiling last week that may cap gains in the coming weeks. Hot CPI, PPI, and Import price data point to sustained high inflation and the possibility of accelerating inflation. This situation has sparked a reset of FOMC expectations, which includes pushing back the timeline for interest rate cuts. Now, the market expects a single cut by early summer and the possibility of two by summer's end. If the data doesn't improve, the timeline will be pushed back again.
The takeaway for investors is that the outlook for S&P 500 earnings growth in 2024 is no good. The market expects a significant earnings acceleration in the back half, primarily in Q4, which may not come if the FOMC doesn't cut rates. In this scenario, a rapidly deteriorating outlook for earnings growth could sap investor appetite, and there are other risks. The weaker-than-expected retail sales figure suggests a poor showing from the retail sector and another headwind for equities.
