Week 19
Dear Quaint Community,
We’re excited to share our latest portfolio adjustments and provide you with insights into the upcoming week's economic landscape.
Week Ahead
The April consumer price index (CPI) report released last week soothed fears of emerging inflation pressures. While inflation remains elevated, the latest data indicated a gradual moderation in consumer price pressures. This led to a rally in stocks and a pullback in interest rates, driven by better-than-expected inflation data and strong corporate earnings announcements.
The stock market reached a new all-time high last week, supported by ongoing economic growth, rising profits, and expectations of a less restrictive Fed.
Key Economic Releases
As we move into the new week, investors should keep an eye on significant economic data that could influence market sentiment:
Home Sales Data: Insights into the housing market will be crucial as they reflect consumer confidence and economic stability.
