Market Update Into 6/28: The Broad Market Takes the Reins and Closes at New Yearly Highs
The broad markets and major indexes decided to celebrate the 4th early; booking impressive gains at the close on Friday. Of note, the S&P 500 closed at new all-time highs, signaling that investors are digesting new economic data on inflation as transitory and any rate hikes to be much later than sooner. The U.S. core PCE price index rose to highs not seen since 1992; however, coming in lower than expected on a month-to-month basis, which was received favorably by the markets. In addition to economic data alleviating investors’ inflation fears, Washington finally sealed a bipartisan deal on infrastructure spending which is being interpreted as the shot in the arm which will keep the fragile U.S. economy from stalling in the near term.
