US equities sink late to cap a tough week

SPX Weekly SPX Weekly It was a tough week for US stocks, ending with a soft rally after a back-and-forth session. Today’s warm PPI reading and better UMich sentiment raised questions about whether the Fed’s hikes will do enough to cool inflation and whether Powell may take a hawkish stance next week. I think he will instead push the idea that the Fed will keep interest rates high longer than the price reversal in Fed funds. Anyway, expect even bigger moves next week.
