Good MorningThe rate-cut debate is heating up, but the Fed keeps tamping down September euphoria. Powell's Jackson Hole remarks and the minutes reinforced a proceed carefully, data-dependent stance, even as futures now price a high chance of a September cut and multiple moves by year-end. This week's catalysts—New Home Sales, Durable Goods, GDP revisions, jobless claims, and Friday's PCE (the Fed's preferred gauge)—will set the path from here. Markets look constructive but headline-sensitive. NVIDIA reports Wednesday after the bell; a strong print and guide could keep risk appetite intact even if cut odds wobble, while a miss would amplify volatility into PCE. At the end of the day, we're taking a cautious, bullish approach heading into mid-week, with a quick exit strategy in place if the macro environment shifts toward hawkishness—keep an eye on the mega-cap leaders, semiconductors, and the VIX for any signs.
