Welcome to this week’s Market Drama!
- The S&P 500 was up 3.5%.
- Bank stocks, specifically regional stocks were the sector leading the rally after significant weakness in prior weeks.
- U.S. Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index for February came in better than expected at 4.6% (expectations were 4.7%).
- The Core PCE is the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation.
What to look out for this week:
- The big payroll number, the job data number on Friday.
- The market is expecting 4.3% year-over-year wage growth.
Stay tuned for next week.
