The dot plot points to possible future rate hikes, Warsh maintained his skepticism toward forward guidance, and new internal task forces suggest a broader review of how the Fed operates without threatening its independence. Corporate earnings expectations remain strong. After 29.3% earnings growth in the first quarter, analysts expect 22.9% growth in the second quarter and roughly 25% growth for full-year 2026. Economic data continue to point to moderate but positive growth. Retail sales exceeded expectations and consumer spending remained healthy, while mixed housing and leading indicator data suggest the economy is slowing but not stalling.

With an abundance of economic data this week we have a lot to cover. Here’s some of the key numbers: -Consumer prices rose 3.8% year over year. Even stripping out volatile food and energy prices, core inflation rose 2.8%, which is well above our comfort zone. -Producer prices soared 6% year over year, driven by surging oil costs. Soaring producer prices renew inflation worries as businesses are likely to pass those higher costs on to consumers in the coming months. -Retail sales rose .5% last month, though largely driven by higher gasoline prices.  However, online shopping by consumers showed resilience. -industrial production and Business Inventories rose in April, both showing stability in consumer demand.

The S&P is experiencing one of its best earnings seasons in 20 years, with growth in the first quarter looking to exceed 28%. New investment tools in the Exchange Traded Fund space continue to emerge chasing a variety of investment themes, but challenges remain as investment expense and trend-chasing obscure what’s right with what’s possible. On the economic front, relative stability in the labor market belies broader concerns about the war and rising prices. The reminder remains: cautious balance remains a far more prudent path than trying to predict bursting bubbles.
