Good MorningThe S&P 500 ended Monday higher, but getting there was a bumpy ride. The index advanced as much as 1% at the session's highs but closed off of those highs after a late-day sell-off. The move was driven by the word President-Elect Trump was altering his tariff plans, but no concrete news was released. The S&P 500 ended the session with a gain of 0.55%, led by big tech. Names like NVIDIA advanced more than 3.5% to set a new closing high.
The hurdle this week is economic. The monthly labor data is due, and reports are scheduled throughout the week. The critical details will be job gains, unemployment, and wage inflation, which is expected to be hot. Wage growth accelerated to over 4% in the previous month's data and is a factor in the Fed's decision to slow the pace of interest rate reduction. Another month of hot inflation data could keep the Fed from cutting rates until much later this year, if at all. Featured: I was wrong. Dead wrong. (Porter & Company)
