What was the positive catalyst today to push the markets higher? Bulls front running GDP, employment and PCE numbers (again)? Pricing in rate cuts after the fed specifically said "no rate cuts this year"?

I think GDP numbers will come in higher than expected probably leading to a red open. Signs of contraction weren’t really there in Q4 but I’m seeing slow downs everywhere now in Q1.

I might be a little stupid but are you saying a higher GDP will cause the market to fall? I thought that would mean good economic progress

Federales dont need economic progress ("growth") they need unemployment to go up and inflation to go down.

Agree. Until economy consistently slows down, rates are going to stay higher. Feds have mentioned over and over again about no rate cuts this year, yet here we are.
