I’m watching core PCE, CPI, and the labor market most closely. If inflation continues to cool and job growth slows gradually, another rate hike becomes less likely. However, persistent oil-price strength could keep inflation sticky and delay any policy easing.
For investing, I expect high-growth stocks to stay volatile while yields remain elevated, whereas energy stocks could benefit from firm oil prices. I’m staying selective and focusing on companies with strong earnings rather than reacting to short-term market moves. The next few inflation and employment reports will likely set the market's direction for the rest of the year.
