The Bottom Line
Focus this week is on the May Core PCE Price Index released on Friday. This report is the FOMC’s most important indicator for inflation. A drop below the 2.8% annual rate set in April will signal easing inflation pressures and will set the stage for the traditional “Summer Rally” by U.S. equity indices lasting from the last week in June at least to the end of July. Average gain per period for the “Summer Rally” for the S&P 500 Index during the past 20 periods was 3.0%. The trade was profitable in 15 of the past 20 periods.
