Chris Larkin, Managing Director of Trading and Investment Management at Morgan Stanley E*TRADE, stated that the S&P 500 index has broken out of its trading range from the past two months and may face challenges this week from inflation and geopolitical tensions. While the employment report may have alleviated concerns about a Federal Reserve rate hike next month, worries could deepen if this week's inflation data cools less than expected.
