Oil prices are creating many headlines, but the fact is that inflationary pressures remain under control because the US is not driving money velocity higher through unjustified soaring money supply growth via rising federal government spending and hiring, which is what causes inflation.

S&P 500 CORRECTION NEARING END

Michael Wilson of Morgan Stanley says the S&P 500 is likely closer to the end than the start of its rolling correction.

He remains constructive over the next 6–12 months, expecting earnings growth and market breadth to improve. However, moves in oil and the U.S. dollar will determine how long volatility lasts.

Morgan Stanley says near-term weakness could create buying opportunities, especially in Financials, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary and small caps, though risks remain if oil stays above $100 or the Federal Reserve delays rate cuts.

Industrial production remains weak, slightly above pre-pandemic level
