Good MorningEquity markets advanced strongly following Donald Trump's election for his second term as president. The news signals a continuation of trends in place for two years and a high likelihood that the S&P 500 will continue to rally for the next few years. The incoming president's policies are business—and consumer-friendly and are expected to strengthen economic tailwinds and sustain growth in the foreseeable future. The Fed's interest rate was also a catalyst for stocks, reinforcing the idea that the soft landing is real and the US economy is healthy.
This week's hurdles include the Wednesday CPI report and the Friday Retail Sales report. CPI is expected to fall incrementally compared to last month, aligning with trends, while retail sales will rise. The question is whether sales growth is enough to offset inflation, and the answer is likely to be no. Even so, growing sales value is sufficient for the market, and volume growth will likely improve over the next four quarters.
