The market was on fire during the first part of last week. Then BAM, the gains were erased by the end of the week. But why? Many FOMC members sang the same tune on two critical themes throughout the week. First, they won't be slowing rate hikes, and second, inflation needs to come down before the FOMC will be willing to change course. Therefore, our theme must remain, don't fight the fed.

With last week's awful week, the S&P 500 has declined 23.7% from the post-COVID highs. However, we are still 9% above where the S&P 500 was trading pre-COVID giving us an annualized gain of 3% since February 2020.
