S&P E-Minis have traded higher this week. The recovery undermines a recent bearish threat and attention turns to the next resistance at 6162.25, the Jan 24 high. Clearance of this level would expose key resistance at 6178.75, the Dec 6 ‘24 high. A move above this hurdle would resume the primary uptrend. On the downside, initial key support has been defined at 6014.00, the Feb 10 low. A break would be viewed as a bearish development.

US OUTLOOK/OPINION: Wells Fargo Pares 1 Fed Cut From 2025 Outlook Post-CPI
Wells Fargo has changed its Fed rate call, saying that while core CPI looked better than headline, "when looking through the month-to-month noise, the inflation data have been fairly stubborn in recent months, neither gathering nor losing speed." (They estimate core PCE came in at 0.21% in December.)
- Therefore in addition to "the more resilient labor market data seen over the past couple months, we have revised our expectations for the federal funds rate outlook. We now expect two 25 bps rate cuts by the FOMC this year, in September and December, down from the three cuts we anticipated coming into the year. If realized, the target range for the federal funds rate would be 3.75%-4.00% at year-end 2025."
