When it comes to markets, there hasn't been much to complain about for the last two months. Stocks on Friday capped their eighth-straight week of gains. For the S&P 500, it's the longest weekly winning streak since November 2017. 

This morning, investors got more good news about inflation, with the personal consumption expenditures index, or PCE, declining by 0.1% from October to November. It's the first month-to-month decline in the index since April 2020. The core version of the PCE, which excludes food and energy and is closely tracked by the Federal Reserve, was up 3.2% from a year ago, below economists' forecast for a 3.4% rise. 

A muted reaction from stocks suggests that investors have already priced in much of the disinflation news. The S&P 500, up just 0.2% today, had gained 2.2% over the previous seven trading sessions.

Still, the PCE data released this morning should be seen as good news by economists, market strategists, and Fed watchers. 

How will S&P close at the end of 2023?
S&P 500 dived on Wednesday but then rebound on Thursday. Some believe the expected correction has finally arrived. Others say vacation starts tomorrow and all the traders liquidated their positions. ------------------------ How will S&P close at the end of 2023? A short-term correction or a santa rally?
