Stock futures (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) are in the red as investors digest this month’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report, which fell below estimates. CFRA Research Chief funding Strategist Sam Stovall joins Morning Brief to discuss how this GDP print could affect the Federal Reserve’s next borrowing charge rate move.
Stovall notes that the GDP print is not nearly as important as the Personal Consumption Expenditures (CPE) report that will be released on Friday. The CPE print will provide a clearer picture of the impact of inflation on consumers, which Stovall adds is the most important factor as consumers make up about 70% of the overall economy.
He predicts the earliest rate cuts from the Fed could be in September, but it may be unlikely: “We have been saying for a while that we thought we’d get two cuts this year: September and December. But I would tend to say that we are becoming less confident about the start in September, so certainly a concern that investors have to deal with right now.”
