Good MorningEquity markets continued to rally on Thursday, extending gains to set another fresh all-time high, a clear sign that the bull market is intact. The target for the S&P 500 is now 6,100 and may be reached soon. The election results sparked the updraft, which relieved market uncertainty about what would happen over the next four years. The takeaway is that a business-friendly, tax-reducing president is in the White House and expected to invigorate economic activity with his policies.
The FOMC meeting was a non-event, confirming the market's expectations and indicating additional interest rate cuts would come over the next year. The critical takeaways from the statement and comments afterward are that risks to the Fed's dual mandate are in balance and Chief Jerome Powell is "feeling good" about the economy. The bad news for investors is that a Trump White House will likely sustain inflation via business and consumer demand, keeping the FOMC from reducing as quickly or as much as the market would like.
