The S&P 500 (SP500) likely won't hit lows until September or October, according to Katie Stockton, founder and managing partner of Fairlead Strategies. Stockton expects the market will likely be higher in a couple of weeks, though she's not recommending clients add exposure, Stockton said in an interview on CNBC. "There really are no major intermediate term positive catalysts as of yet," Stockton said. "We suspect that a longer term low probably won't unfold maybe until September or October and between here and there we are looking for more volatility. And with that in mind we're generally a better seller." Stockton sees a potential low of about 3500 for the S&P. "The next support level around 3500 and that to us seems like perhaps a natural support level for us to get that bottom," Stockton said. BUT WILL IT HIT 4200 FIRST?

IRONY OF IRONIES RETAIL SALES ARE WAY UP! Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker expects two more 50 basis-point rate increases, with the Federal Reserve continuing to raise the federal funds rate "until we're confident that inflation is moving toward our target," he said in an onlineevent sponsored by the Mid-Sized Bank Coalition of America. The rate hikes are important because inflation "is a truly urgent problem," he noted. Currently, the markets are pricing in a 50-bp rate hike at each of the next two meetings. The CME Fed Watch Toolgives a 78% probability that the federal funds rate will stand at 1.75%-2.0% after the July meeting. Currently the rate stands at 0.75%-1.0%. Asked about the risk that the tightening will trigger a recession, Harker said, "There's always a risk there will be some negative growth. I'm still in the camp, that if we don't get a soft landing we can at least get a safe landing." Even with the GDP decline in Q1 2022, he expects GDP growth between two and three percent for the full year. This economy is strong enough to withstand a "measured, methodical tightening" that's well-communicated, Harker said. "Then we can look at the data to see if we need to do more." There you have it-- tough day to come up with the Morning notes.
