    Strong data is 'good news' for markets, but may delay Fed cuts

    Stocks (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) are trading higher after consumer sentiment and pending home sales data came in better-than-expected. BlackRock Senior Macro Investment Strategist for iShares EMEA Laura Cooper joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss what this means for markets. Cooper calls the data "good news," saying it shows continued strength in the economy. She highlights that the commentary out of the Federal Reserve has pointed to the fact that officials are "willing to live with a higher degree of inflation," but that hasn't deterred them from a possible easing cycle— though strong data could prompt a delay. Cooper suggests that if no interest rate cut materializes in June, there could be "a knee-jerk reaction" in markets that slows down equities' momentum. Cooper also emphasizes that the market is being driven by "relatively strong fundamentals," which still bodes well for the equity market. Regarding inflation, Cooper notes that the data so far shows it is hotter-than-expected. However, in light of the PCE print set to be released on Friday — expected to be cooler than anticipated— she states that there needs to be a slew of prints that indicate slowing inflation for the Fed to be "comfortable" enough to cut rates.

    S&P 500 rally: Investor risk appetite may have room to run

    Stocks are inching closer to all-time highs, as the S&P 500 (^GSPC) continues to receive a bullish outlook from strategists driven by three key factors. The index has demonstrated better-than-expected growth and Big Tech stocks have the potential to sustain their outperformance, fueling further gains. Investors' risk appetite also appears to have more room for expansion. Investors are also bracing for potential downside risks. One major concern is the persistence of sticky inflation, which could continue to weigh on the economy. Additionally, the materialization of a recession remains a looming threat and if earnings fail to show meaningful growth, it could undermine the market's optimism. Yahoo Finance's Josh Schafer breaks down the details. For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Morning Brief.
