“Earnings are too good to ignore and if the right developments for the economy unfold, they are likely to grow substantially from current marks. With that in mind, our target for the S&P 500 is 4,250 by year’s end“–Paul Ebeling
Note on inflation: the Fed’s Beige Book for economic activity in February highlighted that “several districts reported anticipating modest price increases over the next several months.” Chicago Fed President Evans (FOMC voter) said he does not see inflation as a risk now. These observations may have tempered any inflation worries.
And, the S&P 500 closed just above its 50-Day MA (3818) on another test, the trend is still North.
