Between a barrage of corporate earnings, the first quarter GDP report, and the release of the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, investors had plenty to digest as markets continue navigate a bumpy start to the second quarter.

We offer our take on last week's developments along with portfolio implications.

After a 25% run higher in the S&P 500 over the past six months, the tone in the markets in recent weeks seems to have shifted. In our view, volatility has been sparked by a trifecta of recent data and news flow.

Along with last week's solar eclipse came another seemingly rare event: the stock market turned lower, with hotter-than-expected inflation data eclipsing the enthusiasm around upcoming Fed rate cuts.

Employment conditions plus inflation trends equals Fed interest rate decisions. This is the calculus that has been guiding market performance for the past two years.

The first variable in that equation was in full focus last week as the latest jobs report provided a fresh look at the state of the labor market. While the better-than-expected results showed that the economy remains in good health, markets will continue to do the math on what this means for upcoming Fed actions.

In our latest Weekly Market Wrap, we offer our take on the implications for markets as we advance.

The last time the Fed achieved a soft landing was in 1995 when a successful pivot to rate cuts supported the start of a multi-year rally. Today, investors are hoping to achieve a similar outcome as most central banks are eyeing the start of rate cuts in the months ahead.

This past week, markets digested several datapoints that indicated the U.S. labor market may be showing early signs of fatigue.

In our view, given the ongoing easing in inflation and now more signs of a cooling labor market, the Fed likely remains on track to begin a rate-cutting cycle later this year, perhaps starting around the June meeting.
