The S&amp;amp;P 500 could test its 50-day moving average near 7,570, with the 100-day moving average around 7,450 representing additional downside risk. Meanwhile, rising oil prices add another challenge. Higher energy and gasoline costs can weaken consumer demand, pressure economic growth and earnings, and eventually feed into inflation. A hotter CPI or PPI report could also increase pressure on the Federal Reserve to consider higher interest rates. With earnings estimates elevated and corporate buybacks sidelined, investors should remain focused on managing portfolio risk, maintaining appropriate hedges, and keeping some cash available as September progresses.
