America has a massive debt problem, and it isn’t record-high auto loans and credit card delinquencies that are fueling the crisis. As of March 31, U.S. federal debt held by the public exceeded 100% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the first sustained period since 1946. According to....
Good MorningEquities head into a pivotal week with the AI rally intact, but the technical picture is sending mixed signals. MACD has diverged from price while stochastics turned overbought, leaving the S&P 500 vulnerable to a near-term pullback before any sustained push toward year-end targets. Breadth is narrowing, and the burden falls squarely on earnings to justify current levels.
Inflation is the macro overhang that won't quit. Both CPI and PPI came in above expectations, with PPI — the forward-looking indicator—the bigger concern. Oil is elevated and supply disruptions show no sign of easing, which effectively takes Fed rate cuts off the table for the foreseeable future. The more pressing question now isn't whether the Fed cuts, but whether it hikes.
The earnings tape is where the action is. Home Depot kicks things off Tuesday with a low bar and solid seasonal tailwinds—a positive surprise here could wake up a beaten-down consumer discretionary sector. Analog Devices reports Wednesday morning as a direct read on the semiconductor supercycle, with strength expected across AI and datacenter end markets. NVIDIA is the main event Wednesday evening; another blowout quarter with hot guidance would reinforce the AI trade and likely pull the broader market higher with it. Walmart follows Thursday as a real-time consumer health check, and Workday closes the week as the highest-beta name on the calendar, deeply depressed and primed to move big in either direction. Traders are watching NVIDIA's guidance language most closely, as it sets the tone for AI infrastructure spending and equity leadership into year-end.
