Ken Tower Investors Quotations

You have to be a little nervous about this number. This is going to do nothing but make us focus more on next week's Fed meeting as investors keep searching about inflation clues.

The recent stock rally was fueled by the idea that the Fed is nearly done and I am concerned that such a hope could be in trouble. If the economy is growing faster than investors are expecting, that could be a problem.

Even though the news has been dismal this week, investors have to keep an eye on the July Lows.

Investors remain skeptical of the rally that began in April. Therefore, the rally could restart.
