Stuart Kaiser from Citigroup's US equity trading strategy noted that investors remain relatively bullish but are cautious due to significant event risks in September, including PPI, CPI, and the FOMC meeting. He anticipates that any dips of 2-4% are likely to be bought, but a degree of caution will persist until these risks pass.
“Yeah, look, I think people are still relatively bullish, but the fact is there's a ton of event risk in September, starting on Thursday with PPI, CPI Friday, and then the FOMC, and then obviously the kickoff to election season as well.”
“I think the bar to buy right now is a little higher just because they're respective of all those risks. I think any kind of reasonable dip, call it 2%, 3%, 4% is going to get bought pretty quickly. But until then, I do think investors are going to be just a little bit cautious because of the The calendar really that we face over the next 30 days.”
