Morning Note: The Fed's Fine Fix
This from Bespoke Investment Group's note this morning says lots about the present setup:

"Yesterday, WMT had its largest one-day decline since the 1987 crash and now TGT is on pace to do the same.

Few companies are so entwined into so many aspects of the US economy as WMT and TGT, and their logistics and supply chain operations rival or exceed those of most other companies. If they're having these types of issues keeping up with the rapidly changing environment, who isn't?"

"The bottom line? Supply chains and inflation remain in flux, but there are signs that these issues could start to work themselves out in the second half.
