US Stock Market Doesn’t Care About Rate Cuts

That’s because of a startling inflection in US profits, and amazing market momentum

CPI print for February came in hotter than expected, yet the stock market wasn’t bothered.

The US stock market has quite a head of steam, and once it has momentum is hard to stop. When the herd is running like this, nobody wants to get in the way

Remember that when momentum finally reverses, it does so in a big way.

America’s economy has escaped a hard landing  

Calling it a soft landing may in fact be an understatement, for what is most striking about the American economy at present is not its deceleration but its continued momentum. 

It is not just economists who are upbeat. America’s stockmarkets keep hitting new records. Corporate earnings are set to rise strongly this year. Ordinary folk, too, are growing more optimistic.
