A New Fed Era Begins as Inflation Lingers and Markets Bro...

What this episode covers

Markets ended the week balancing persistent inflation data, evolving Fed expectations, and shifting equity leadership. CPI and PPI both surprised to the upside, reinforcing the view that inflation remains sticky and likely keeps the Fed in a restrictive stance ahead of Kevin Warsh’s first FOMC meeting as chair. While geopolitical tensions in the Middle East added volatility early in the week, markets recovered on signs of potential de-escalation. In equities, leadership broadened beyond mega caps, with equal weight indices gaining strength as investors reassess concentration risk. With rates expected to stay higher for longer, disciplined positioning and diversification remain key in navigating the current environment.
