Thursday, December 19th


GOOD MORNING

Equity markets sold off after the FOMC announced a single 25 basis points rate
cut and indicated a slower pace of rate reduction for 2025 than previously
indicated. The Fed sees only two cuts next year, down from the four previously
indicated, meaning higher-for-longer is still in place. The S&P 500 shed nearly
3.0% at the day's low and may extend the sell-off to another day. With the index
below the 30-day EMA, the next best target for support is near the 150-day EMA
at 5,650.

The good news is that the underlying cause for the Fed's decision is economic
health. The U.S. economy is growing faster than expected, underpinned by healthy
labor markets. The Fed says its mandates are balanced, and the economy can
withstand a higher-rate environment. The takeaway for investors is that economic
health translates into corporate earnings power and capital returns, which
supports the outlook for stocks. With this in play, the S&P 500 can correct and
likely not break the up trend, setting itself up for another rally in 2025.

worth an insane $75 TRILLION. With more and more flooding in, a select few
companies are positioned to benefit massively.
