April's PCE report, the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, came in as expected, causing an initial spike in the SPDR S&P 500 Index Trust (SPY) during pre-market trading. However, stocks, including tech leaders like NVIDIA (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT), traded lower as the day progressed. Jonathan Corpina from Meridian Equity Partners provided a cautious outlook, suggesting the market needed a breather and might not hold onto gains.
