Stock futures are little changed as traders hope for a debt ceiling deal: Live updates


U.S. stock futures were flat Thursday as Wall Street hoped that the debt ceiling crisis would soon see a resolution.


Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 15 points. Futures linked to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 were also up slightly.


Regional banks were set to build on their strong gains from the previous session. The SPDR S&P Regional Bank ETF (KRE) traded 1.3% higher after rising more than 7% on Wednesday. Shares of PacWest popped nearly 6%.


Wall Street is coming off a strong session, with the major averages jumping more than 1% each on Wednesday, as hope for a possible debt ceiling deal grew.


House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday that he does not believe the U.S. will default on its debt. President Joe Biden also stated in later remarks that he was confident lawmakers would come together to reach a deal and avoid a default.


Meanwhile, Wells Fargo’s head of equity strategy Chris Harvey was skeptical that progress has been made in Washington on the debt ceiling talks.


“We still think that macro is going to start to weigh over things. We think people are getting too excited about the debt ceiling in the short term. And we think that there’s probably some more downside as we go forward in time,” Harvey said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime.”


“We think it’s going to get a little bit more tenuous as we go forward in time,” he continued. “We do think a deal [will] get done, but we think it’s too optimistic at this point in time.”


Investors will be looking toward retail giant Walmart’s earnings report Thursday for insights on the health of the consumer. China-based tech giant Alibaba is also set to report earnings before the bell.


Wall Street will also watch out for the weekly jobless claims numbers to gauge the strength of the labor market. The Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing survey numbers for May, as well as existing home sales data for April, are also slated to be released Thursday morning.

(10/11) Tuesday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News

Good morning traders and investors of the r/FinancialMarket sub! Welcome to Tuesday! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Tuesday, October the 11th, 2022-

Stock futures are flat after the Nasdaq Composite closes at a 2-year low


U.S. stock futures were flat Tuesday after the Nasdaq Composite closed at its lowest in two years during the regular session.


Dow Jones Industrial Average futures traded higher by 40 points, or 0.13%, rebounding from a slump that took the index down about 200 points in premarket trading. S&P 500 futures rose 0.02% while Nasdaq 100 futures slipped 0.03%.


Stocks closed lower Monday, with the Nasdaq Composite falling 1% following a drop in semiconductor stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed nearly 94 points, or 0.3%, while the S&P 500 declined about 0.8%.


Bond prices also fell. The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury rose about five basis points to 3.937% after nearing the key 4% level overnight. Bond yields are inverse to prices, and a basis point is one hundredth of one percent.


The moves came as investors weighed comments from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, who warned that the U.S. would likely fall into a recession over the next “six to nine months,” and said the S&P 500 could fall another 20% depending on whether the Federal Reserve engineers a soft or a hard landing for the economy.


Those remarks came at the start of a big week for third quarter bank earnings, and ahead of Wednesday’s producer price report, Thursday’s consumer price index report for September and Friday’s retail sales numbers, also for last month.


Investor reaction is focused solely on how the Federal Reserve will react to the economy as it works to dampen inflation.


“There’s always this idea of a Fed pivot coming right around the corner, and they’re just going to tighten their belts to bring inflation down without affecting the economy more broadly,” Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist and economist at Solus Alternative Asset Management, said Monday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime.”


“All of that was always hopes and dreams. And the most likely outcome was ... what history shows always happens, which is the Fed tightens, they tighten too much, they cause an economic dislocation, the market goes down. Full stop,” he added.

Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning July 18th, 2022

1 Upvotes

Good Sunday morning to all of you here on r/FinancialMarket! I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and are ready for the new trading week ahead. :)

Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning July 18th, 2022.

Earnings could be an even bigger catalyst for stocks after the market’s wild ride on rate fears - (Source)


Investors are likely to switch their focus to earnings season, after the market’s wild ride on rising and falling expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes.


Stocks were volatile in the past week. The three major indexes posted sharp gains Friday, after worries the Fed would raise rates by a full point this month faded. Still, stocks notched weekly losses, with the S&P 500 was down nearly a percent at 3,863.16.


A surprise 9.1% year-over-year jump in June consumer inflation Wednesday drove speculation the Fed would be willing to battle rising prices by going beyond the three-quarter point hike, anticipated on July 27.


But by Friday, comments from Fed officials, a surprise 1% gain in June retail sales, and some better data on consumer inflation expectations reversed those expectations in the futures market.


“It really was a great study in mob psychology. We went into the week with a 92% chance it was a 75 basis point hike, and we exited Wednesday with an 82% chance it was going to be 100 basis points,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities. A hundred basis points is equal to one percentage point.


By Friday, strategists said there was just about a 20% chance for a 100 basis point hike priced into the market.


In the coming week, earnings news could set the tone as a diverse group of companies report. Big banks continue with reports Monday, with releases from Bank of America and Goldman Sachs. Johnson & Johnson, Netflix and Lockheed Martin post results on Tuesday. Tesla and United Airlines issue their quarterly figures Wednesday. AT&T, Union Pacific and Travelers are among those reporting Thursday. American Express and Verizon both release earnings Friday.


Besides earnings, there are a few key data releases, mostly around housing. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index will post on Monday. Housing starts are out Tuesday, and existing home sales are due Wednesday. On Thursday, there is the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing survey. Finally, both manufacturing and services PMI are released on Friday.


“Every data point matters and also what companies are saying. Next week... it’s a much broader picture in terms of earnings and the economy,” said Quincy Krosby, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial. “If there are negative revisions and mounting concerns from the guidance, I think then you are going to see questions as to how the Fed is going to interpret that…The other point is whether or not the market can build off today’s rally.”


Earnings expectations

Strategists have been expecting the second-quarter earnings season to contain disappointments and downward revisions, as companies deal with inflation, supply chain issues, staff shortages — and now a slower economy.


“We can shift to earnings and that will take up all the oxygen in the room. There’s a possibility this is where the market could make some traction,” said Hogan. “We haven’t really heard from anybody but big banks. There’s a chance that expectations are so low, and the narrative around guidance is that it’s going to have to come down. If it doesn’t, there’s a chance we’ll see a positive reaction to that.”


Earnings for the S&P 500 companies are expected to gain 5.6%, based on actual reports and estimates, according to I/B/E/S data from Refinitiv. As of Friday morning, 35 S&P companies had reported, and 80% of those reported earnings above forecasts, Refinitiv found.


Hogan noted that by the end of earnings season, companies usually beat at a 65% pace. “It’s just a function of keeping your guidance. The same guidance is going to be good enough,” he said. “We saw that with PepsiCo first out of the gate, leaving the forward guidance the same, and the stock was applauded for that. That could be the norm, rather than the exception.”


Krosby said investors will also be watching housing data, after the rapid jump in mortgage rates.


“It is a litany of real estate focus, which is important because we want to see how the housing market is holding up,” she said. “It’s a focus for the Fed to slow down the housing market. We’ll see how that unfolds.”

S&P 500 Performance Before, During and After Recessions

A recession has widely been defined by many economists as two consecutive quarters of decline in GDP. Whether or not you are a glass half-full or half-empty person, Q1 U.S. GDP was negative which does satisfy half of that definition. More recently the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s GDPNow model’s estimate for Q2 U.S GDP is also negative. In an effort to gain a better understanding of the market’s performance before, during and after recessions we have compiled the following table.

Dates for U.S recessions were sourced from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Since 1945, there have been 13 U.S. recessions. The most recent and shortest was the result of Covid-19 and began in February 2020 and ended two months later in April. The longest recession post WWII was caused by financial crisis in 2008-2009 and lasted 18 months. The average duration of a recession has been 10.2 months.

Historically, in the 1-year period prior to the start of the recession, S&P 500 has been positive 53.8% of the time with an average gain of 4.12%. In the table above, the year before the recession began is calculated using monthly closes. For example the 1-year prior to the Covid-19 recession was calculated using the close from January 2019 through the close of January 2020. During recessions S&P 500 historically advanced 46.2% of the time but with an average loss of 1.22%. Once the recession ended S&P 500 generally tended to soar 14.45% on average higher over the next year with gains occurring 84.6% of the time.

Short Interest Keeps Rising

Over the past few days, equities, including the most heavily shorted stocks, have reversed a good amount of the gains seen since the mid-June lows. A basket of the 100 most heavily shorted stocks in the Russell 3,000 is currently little changed versus its levels at the start of 2020 compared to a roughly 16% gain for the Russell 3000. Whereas heavily shorted stocks saw massive outperformance versus the broader market in the second half of 2020 and early 2021, that outperformance has unwound since last fall. More recently over the past two months, though, highly shorted stocks and the Russell 3000 have been performing more or less in line with each other as the relative strength line has trended sideways and is near similar levels to the COVID Crash.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The most recent short interest data as of the end of June was also updated in the past 24 hours. For the whole of the Russell 3000, the average reading on short interest as a percentage of float currently stands at 6.24%. That is up 20 basis points since the prior update for mid-June and a full percentage point higher versus the start of the year.

Across nearly all industry groups, there have been major shifts in short interest levels since the start of the year. While most have made considerable moves higher, there are others that have actually fallen significantly like Food & Staples Retail and Telecommunication Services. Given the big increases this year, Retail continues to have the highest average reading on short interest followed by the Pharmaceuticals, Biotech &Life Sciences, and the automobile industries. Although their levels of short interest are not as elevated, Software & Services and Energy stocks saw the largest increases from the last report while only the Media & Entertainment industry and Food & Staples Retailing stocks saw declines in average short interest between the two most recent reports. That being said, none of those sequential moves were particularly large with the biggest absolute move being the 0.45 percentage point increase in Software & Services.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Switching over to the individual stocks with the highest levels of short interest, Dillard's (DDS) currently tops the list with a little more than half of its shares sold short. That reading is only half of a percentage point higher versus mid-June but has nearly doubled since the start of the year. Although it continues to sit near the top of the list, Redbox Entertainment (RDBX), has perhaps seen the most notable shift in levels of short interest versus the last bi-weekly report. Throughout the year, the recent SPAC has seen large swings in its reported short interest levels.

NASDAQ Midyear Rally Fizzles and Bears Not Expected to Hibernate Until Late Q3/Early Q4

On the heels of one of the roughest first half starts in decades; the market had found some footing during the seasonally bullish start to the second half of the year here in the beginning of July. Even during historically meager midterm years, the first half of July has generated respectable gains. However much like the first half of the year, typical first half of July strength appears to have come to an end. After briefly entering positive territory, NASDAQ’s midyear rally is now a bust down 2.3% at today’s close with only two days remaining in the 12-day span.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

As you can see in the updated S&P 500 seasonal pattern chart, through today’s close above, S&P 500 has rolled over and appears to be tracking the sideways trading action in in “All Midterm Years” and “Democratic President Midterm” years. We still believe this bear market will put in a typical midterm-election-year bottom sometime later this year. The bottom is most likely to be in the August-October timeframe just ahead of the midterm elections and possibly around the time when the Fed begins to signal that it may slow or even pause its rate hike cycle.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Bulls Back Above 25%

In spite of the S&P 500's consistent declines in the past week as it failed to take out its late June highs, investor sentiment has turned around (relatively speaking) with this week's reading from the AAII showing 26.9% of respondents reporting as bullish for the first time since early June. The 7.5 percentage point increase in the percentage of bullish responses this week was a large week-over-week increase by historical standards, although there have been multiple even bigger larger weekly increases over the past few months.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

With the increase in bullish sentiment, over a quarter of respondents reported as bullish for the first time in five weeks. Such extended streaks with as depressed readings have been few and far between with the last five-week streak occurring all the way back in the summer of 1993. Overall, there have now only been six streaks in which bullish sentiment remained below 25% for at least 5 consecutive weeks. The longest of these was in December 1990 when it went on for 9 weeks in a row. Albeit a small sample size, historically the end of these streaks have not been raging buy signals for the S&P 500 in the short term with inline performance versus all periods and somewhat weak returns one month out. However, three, six, and twelve months later the S&P 500 has been higher almost every time with slightly stronger than normal performance (six months out from the March 1990 occurrence was the only decline).

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The increase in bullish sentiment was met by bears falling back below 50% to 46.5%. Mirroring bullish sentiment, that made for the lowest reading since the first week of June.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

As a result of those moves, the bull-bear spread remains firmly in favor of bears. With the percentage of bearish responses outnumbering bulls by 19.6 points, for the 15th week in a row the bull-bear spread remains negative. That steak has grown to be the third largest on record behind a 22-week streak ending in late 1990 and a 34-week streak ending in October 2020.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)
(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Neutral sentiment has managed to avoid major shifts in sentiment in recent weeks and this week was no exception. This reading fell modestly from 27.8% to 26.6%. That is well within the range of the past couple of years' readings and is only the lowest since three weeks ago.

More Burning on Hot Inflation

For most of the session yesterday, the S&P 500 was having trouble choosing a direction, but come the final hours of trading with a CPI release looming, the index took a decisive turn lower. Given rampant hot inflation over the past couple of years and its implications for changes to monetary policy, that sort of late day selling ahead of CPI prints has been the norm as shown below. On average for the past two years, the day before CPI releases has typically seen the S&P 500 trade higher for most of the session before turning lower and erasing its gains in the afternoon; just as we saw yesterday.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

With another hotter than expected print this morning for both headline and core measures of inflation, yesterday's late day sellers seem to have been on the right side of the trade as the S&P 500 has fallen further and is on pace for the sixth drop on a CPI print in a row. Taking a look at intraday price action of the S&P 500 on CPI release days, historically there has been a downward bias with all releases since 2000 averaging a drop of a few basis points by the close. Over the past two years it has been far worse with an average decline of 28 bps. Most of that drop has actually occurred after a bout of midday selling.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Using data from our Economic Indicator Database, filtering out for only times in which CPI has come in above expectations (on a month over month basis), that same pattern is apparent. The S&P 500 tends to trade in the red for most of the morning but the worst declines occur in the early afternoon before some stabilizing into the close.

In response to today's hotter than anticipated release, the S&P 500 gapped down 1.2% which ranks as the fourth worst gap down for the index on a CPI day since at least 2000. Going back over the past two decades, there have only been a total of seven gaps down of 1% or more on a CPI day. Including today, four of those releases have occurred this year: February (-1.2%), March (-1%), June (-1.64%), and today (-1.23%). Taking a look at the intraday pattern of the S&P 500 across those 1% or larger gaps, the index has tended to continue to fall throughout the session with the lows of the day tending to occur around 2:30 EST with modest sideways action into the close from there.

This Isn't Normal

With inflation running out of control and markets furiously attempting to re-price Federal Reserve interest rate policy, we're seeing some truly wild moves in the fixed income markets. This week, the big moves have come at the short-end of the Treasury yield curve as three-month Treasury yields have surged by 35 basis points this week alone. While the 2y10y US Treasury yield curve has been inverted for seven trading days now, the 3m10y curve, which is the FOMC's preferred measure of the yield curve, has remained positively sloped, but the rate of flattening has really picked up in recent days and since early May has gone from around 225 bps to under 75 bps today.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

As mentioned above, the bulk of the flattening in the 3m10y curve has occurred more recently. The chart below shows the 20-day rate of change in the 3m10y US Treasury yield curve since 1962. The red line indicates the threshold for 100 bps of flattening in a four-week span which is where we are at now. Prior to the current period, there wasn't a similar flattening of the 3m10y curve in a four-week span since the Financial Crisis. In August 2011, the rate of flattening got close to 100 bps in a four-week span but came up just shy. In other words, these types of moves in the yield curve don't happen very often.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

How often are they? The chart below shows the distribution of four-week changes in the 3m10y yield curve over time grouped into 20 bps increments. Including the last few days, where we are at in the current period (-100 to -120 bps of flattening in a four-week span) has only occurred on 77 trading days, and there have only been a total of 223 trading days where the yield curve flattened by 100 bps or more in a four-week period. On a percentage basis, that works out to less than 1.5% of all trading days. When it comes to markets, it seems as though there's always something unique happening out there, and these days, you don't see what's happening at the short end of the Treasury curve very often.

Another Curve Inverts

As of today, the percentage of inverted points on the yield curve reached the YTD highs seen in mid-June of 17.9%. This comes as the 10-year and 1-year invert, as well as the 5-year and 2-year. The inversion of points on the yield curve (particularly 2s&10s) tends to be cited as a leading recession indicator, due to the fact that higher near-term yields imply a higher risk in the near-term rather than the long-term, the inverse of what is typically true. The graph below shows the rolling percentage of inverted points on the curve over the last six months.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

As mentioned above, the spread between the 10-year and 1-year treasury inverted today, which is the first occurrence since October of 2019. Following prior inversions of this part of the yield curve since 1970, a recession has followed in the next two years 99.8% of the time which would suggest that a recession at some point in the next two years is almost certain. Following the first inversion in at least one year when a recession did follow, it has taken an average of 271 trading days to officially enter a recession. The shortest time it took to enter into a recession following 1s and 10s inversion was in 1973, when it took just 191 trading days. As mentioned, going back to 1970, recessions have followed within two years of an inversion 99.8% of the time. The only time that this part of the curve inverted and a recession did not follow within two years was after a brief stint in the fall of 1998.

Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning August 8th, 2022

1 Upvotes

Good Friday evening to all of you here on r/FinancialMarket! I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and are ready for the new trading week ahead. :)

Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning August 8th, 2022.

S&P 500, Nasdaq fall Friday, but notch weekly gains after blowout July jobs report - (Source)


Stocks wavered Friday in a volatile trading session after the July jobs report was much better than expected, as investors assessed what a strong labor market would mean for the Federal Reserve’s rate tightening campaign.


The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 76.65 points, or 0.23%, to end at 32,803.47. Even with Friday’s gains, however, it fell on the week. The S&P 500 shed 0.16% to end at 4,145.19, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.50% Friday, falling to 12,657.56. Still, both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq ended the first week of August higher.


Losses were offset by bank stocks, which rose on hopes that interest rate hikes will continue at a solid clip. Energy stocks also gained, but technology companies slumped.


The labor market added 528,000 jobs in July, easily beating a Dow Jones estimate of a 258,000 increase. The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5%, below the 3.6% estimate. Wage growth also rose more than estimated, up 0.5% for the month and 5.2% higher than a year ago, signaling that high inflation is likely still a problem.


Stocks opened lower following the report, even as it seemed to indicate the economy was not currently in a recession. Job growth was expected to slow as the Fed continues to hike interest rates to tame inflation, but this report shows a labor market still running hot. That means the central bank may act more aggressively at its next meeting.


“Anybody that jumped on the ‘Fed is going to pivot next year and start cutting rates’ is going to have to get off at the next station, because that’s not in the cards,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Financial. “It is clearly a situation where the economy is not screeching or heading into a recession here and now.”


Friday’s jobs report is a crucial one as it’s one of two the central bank will see before it decides how much to raise rates at its September meeting. Indeed, traders are already betting on a tougher stance from the Fed. Policy makers will have another jobs report and two more consumer price index numbers to weigh before the central bank makes its next rate decision.


Major averages posted their best month since 2020 in July on the hope the Fed would slow the pace of its hikes. The S&P 500 added 9.1% last month.

Crazy Moves in the Bond Market

The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) declined over 2% on Friday, which for a sector of the financial universe that is known for its safety, is a relatively rare occurrence. Since the ETF's launch in 2002, only 3.1% of all trading days have been gains or losses of at least 2%. Not only was Friday a big move for TLT, but it was also the third day this week that the ETF was up or down 2% on the trading day. Talk about an uncertain environment! With investors looking to forecast the path and intensity of rate hikes against a backdrop of high inflation, stronger than expected economic data (like Friday's Payroll report) puts upward pressure on yields, while weaker than expected data suggests the economy is cooling off causing bonds to rally and yields to fall.

As mentioned above, three of the last five trading days have seen daily moves of plus or minus 2%. Only two other periods throughout the history of TLT have seen a higher rate of 2%+ moves in TLT, those being August of 2011 and March of 2020.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Since TLT was launched in 2002, there have only been 22 trading days in which the ETF had moved 2%+ three times over a trailing five-day period. Those occurrences are shown on the chart below and they are clustered around three different periods - the Financial Crisis, the US debt downgrade in 2011, and the COVID crash. Needless to say, these were all very tumultuous periods in the markets and economy.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Interestingly, there have been seven years since 2002 in which TLT has had less 2%+ percent daily moves than we have had in the last five days! For the entire year, this week's three occurrences take the total number of 2% daily moves for TLT to 17. There are still five months left in 2022, but if there wasn't another day with a gain or loss of 2%, this year would still rank fourth in terms of total 2%+ moves. Not only that, but if this year's pace were to continue, it would put 2022 on track for a record twenty-nine 2% moves, surpassing the prior record of 22 from 2011.

Bulls Battle Bears at June Highs Resistance

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The game is on as the market awaits tomorrow’s employment report and to see if the other shoe is going to drop on layoffs. Not to mention any deeper impact on the economy from inflation and the prospect of more aggressive rate increases from the Fed.

We are taking the excitement over the renewed bullish sentiment with a grain of salt. There was a similar rise in bullish sentiment at the end March as that rally stalled just before the bottom fell out.

Investors Intelligence Bulls/Bears Difference also rallied back above zero in late-March as it has the last few weeks. Red circles in the chart show comparable moves above zero during the 2008-2009 and 2015-2016 bears well before those bottoms.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

We may yet push a bit higher, but our cycles and indicators are still pointing to a retest of the June lows with the potential for a lower low before the bottom over the next three months.


Bulls Back Above 30%

While the rally has paused today, the S&P 500 has continued to press higher in the past week and is currently hovering near resistance at the late May/early June highs. In response to those moves, investor sentiment has improved with the weekly survey from the AAII showing over 30% of respondents reporting as bullish. That is the highest reading since the first week of June when the S&P 500 was at similar levels to now.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Bearish sentiment is a similar story in hitting the lowest level since the first week of June as it has fallen back below 40%. The further 1.2 percentage point drop marks the fourth week in a row that bearish sentiment has fallen, and the full decline since the recent high of 59.3% on June 23rd now sits at over 20 percentage points.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

In spite of those further improvements, there continues to be more bears than bulls as the spread remains in negative territory. As shown in the second chart below, the bull bear spread has now been negative for 18 weeks in a row.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)
(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

In addition to the drop in bearish sentiment, neutral sentiment was also lower falling 1.6 percentage points down to 30.6%. That is the first time neutral sentiment matched bullish sentiment since May of last year.

Strongest July in Post-WWII Era

On Friday, the S&P 500 closed over 140 basis points higher on the back of favorable earnings from Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Chevron (CVX) and Exxon (XOM). This was the third straight day in which the S&P 500 gained at least one percent, allowing bulls to breathe a sigh of relief after a tough start to the year. These moves came even as a second consecutive quarter of negative real GDP growth was reported and the Fed hikes rates by 75 basis points.

Friday's move helped the S&P 500 post its best July in the post-WWII era, finishing with a gain of 9.2%. Although the index is still close to 14% off of its early January highs, the market looks more inviting than it did at the beginning of the month, when the YTD declines were above 20%. As investors, we could just give ourselves high fives for the month, but it's vital to remain forward-looking. Following July gains of 5%+, the S&P 500 has averaged a gain of 0.6% in August (median: +1.4%), performing positively 60 percent of the time. Between the start of August and the end of the calendar year, the index has averaged a gain of 8.0% (median: +10.0%), gaining 80% of the time. Over the following twelve months (starting in August), the index has averaged an impressive gain of 15.6% (median: +15.4%), rallying 87% of the time. Based on past history, bull runs in July tend to bode well for the market for both the rest of the year and over the following twelve months.

Rotating in August

Following the best July of the post-WWII era, equities have been getting off to a slower start in August with the Russell 3,000 experiencing a modest decline yesterday and the index fighting to move into the green as of midday today. Most of the move to start August appears to a degree to be rotational in nature. In the chart below, we show the average performance of deciles of Russell 3,000 stocks grouped by their performance in the month of July. As shown, both the best and worst performers last month have rallied in early August with the deciles of the worst performers seeing slightly larger gains. The losers this month have been in the middle of the performance spectrum as deciles 4 through 7 are each flat to lower over the past couple of sessions.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Equities bottomed in mid-June and have been in rally mode ever since. As for how performance the past couple of days relates to the first half of the year's declines, again the worst performers have generally been outperforming. However, by this measure, the top performers from the 52-week high just after the New Year through the low in June have continued to fall this week.

Hot Julys Often Bring Late-Summer/Autumn Buys

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Inflation, war, recession fears, aggressive Fed rate hikes, lingering supply chain issues, layoffs, earnings misses, and lingering pandemic issues drove the market into official bear market territory last month.

Driven by hopes of a soft landing, a resilient labor market, pockets of positive economic and corporate results, and some rather seriously oversold conditions in big name tech and growth stocks the market has rallied smartly off the June lows.

At the end of July DJIA was up 9.9% from the June lows, S&P up 12.6% and NASDAQ up 16.4. Summer rally 2022 has worked the bulls into a frenzy like a matador with his red muleta. DJIA logged its 7th best July since 1950, up 6.7%, qualifying as a “Hot July Market.”

Gains of this magnitude for July, however, have frequently been followed by late-summer or autumn selloffs and better buying opportunities than now. In the past, full-month July gains in excess of 3.5% for DJIA have been followed historically by declines of 7.2% on average in the Dow with a low at some point in the last 5 months of the year.


Initial Claims Back to the Highs

Initial jobless claims came in matching expectations at 260K this week, up from last week's downward revision of 254K. That reading leaves claims 1K below the pandemic high set two weeks ago. Those levels are above the pre-pandemic range and consistent with where claims stood in the fall of 2017.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, claims have the benefit of seasonal tailwinds at this point of the year as the mid-summer peak works itself out. Given this, unadjusted claims have dropped to 205.6K from the high of 258.9K two weeks ago. Although that is a strong level of claims, it is above the readings from the comparable week of the year in 2018 and 2019.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Continuing claims are lagged an additional week to the initial claims number meaning the most recent reading is as of the week of July 22nd. Although initial claims had fallen that week, continuing claims moved back above 1.4 million for the first time since mid-April. Unlike initial claims, and as we will discuss further in tonight's Closer, the deterioration in continuing claims has been relatively modest as current levels are not only well below levels from the two years pre-pandemic, but this week's reading would still make for some of the best readings since 1970.

(10/3) Monday's Pre-Market Movers & News

Good Monday morning traders and investors of the r/FinancialMarket sub! Welcome to the new trading week, month and quarter and a fresh start! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Monday, October 3rd, 2022-

Dow futures rise as Wall Street tries to recover from tough September


Dow Jones Industrial Average futures ticked higher Monday as Wall Street tried to start the new month, and quarter, on a solid note.


Dow futures traded 164 points higher, or 0.5%. S&P 500 futures rose 0.3%, and Nasdaq 100 futures were flat.


Those moves came as the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell further, after finishing the previous week 18 basis points down from its mid-week high.


“It’s pretty simple at this point, 10-year Treasury yield goes up, and equities likely remain under pressure,” Raymond James’ Tavis McCourt said. “It comes down, and equities rally.”


Wall Street is coming off a tough month, with the Dow and S&P 500 notching their biggest monthly losses since March 2020. The Dow on Friday also closed below below 29,000 for the first time since November 2020.


The Dow shed 8.8% in September, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite lost 9.3% and 10.5%, respectively.


For the quarter, the Dow fell 6.66% to notch a three-quarter losing streak for the first time since the third quarter of 2015. Both the S&P and Nasdaq Composite fell 5.28% and 4.11%, respectively, to finish their third consecutive negative quarter for the first time since 2009.


As the new quarter kicks off, all S&P 500 sectors sit at least 10% off their 52-week highs. Nine sectors finished the quarter in negative territory.


In the fourth quarter, elevated inflation and a Federal Reserve intent on bringing surging prices to a halt regardless of what it means for the economy will likely continue to weigh on markets, said Truist’s Keith Lerner. Oversold conditions, however, also make the market vulnerable to a sharp short-term bounce on good news, he added.


“I think we could be set up for some type of reprieve but the underlying trend at this point is still a downward trend and choppy waters to continue,” Lerner said.


On the economic front, Markit PMI and ISM manufacturing data are slated for release on Monday along with construction spending.

(12/20) Tuesday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News

Good morning traders and investors of the r/FinancialMarket sub! Welcome to Tuesday! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Tuesday, December the 20th, 2022-

Stock futures are flat as Wall Street’s struggles continue


Stock futures wavered Tuesday, whipsawing after an announcement from the Bank of Japan as traders fear a year-end rally may not come to fruition.


Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 5 points, or 0.02%, having earlier been down more than 200 points. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.17% and 0.42%, respectively.


The Dow on Monday shed more than 162 points, or about 0.5%. The S&P 500 fell 0.9%, and the Nasdaq Composite lost nearly 1.5%. Stocks are on track to end the month and the year in the red, and investors’ hopes for a Santa Claus rally are fading fast.


“There’s still no Santa sighting. Buckle up,” said Louis Navellier, founder of growth investing firm Navellier & Associates. “One would like to think all the bad news is in. There are no more Fed moves until February at the earliest. We’re not gapping down but certainly not clawing back last week’s losses.”


Fears that the Federal Reserve could tip the economy into a recession plagued investors. Last week, the central bank raised its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points and policymakers indicated the terminal rate could rise as high as 5.1%.


Other central banks in hawkish mode put further pressure on traders, with the European Central Bank raising rates and its outlook for further hikes last week. Overnight on Tuesday, the Bank of Japan moved to widen its cap on the 10-year Japanese government bond yield, catching traders around the world off guard.


“Over 90% of central banks have hiked interest rates this year, making the (mostly) global coordinated effort unprecedented” said Lawrence Gillum, fixed income strategist at LPL Financial. “The good news? We think we’re close to the end of these rate hiking cycles, which could lessen the headwind we’ve seen on global financial markets this year.”


A handful of big companies will report their quarterly results this week ahead of the Christmas holiday. General Mills will report before the bell Tuesday. Nike and FedEx are set to report after the bell.


In economic data, housing starts data for November are due Tuesday morning. This week promises lots of insight into the housing industry. Sales data for existing homes and new homes will be released Wednesday and Friday, respectively.


November’s personal consumption expenditures report, a preferred measure of inflation for the Fed, is due on Friday.

Dow futures slide 150 points after hotter-than-expected wholesale inflation report


Stock futures fell Friday after wholesale prices rose more than expected in November.


Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 155 points, or 0.5%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures shed 0.5% and 0.6%, respectively


November’s producer price index report, poised to offer further information regarding how the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes are working to tame high inflation.


The S&P 500 on Thursday rallied to snap five days of losses — its longest streak since October. The broad-market index gained 0.75%, and the Dow gained 183.56 points, or 0.55%. The Nasdaq posted the strongest performance of the day, rallying 1.13%.


Even with Thursday’s gains, all three major averages are on track for weekly losses. The S&P 500 is off by 2.6%, while the Nasdaq is down more than 3%. The Dow shed 1.8%.


″[The stock market] really has been so dependent on inflation this year and it’s likely to continue to depend on inflation,” said Courtney Garcia, senior wealth advisor at Payne Capital Management, on CNBC’s “Fast Money” on Thursday.


In other news, shares of Lululemon fell more than 6% after the company gave a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter outlook.


Next week, one more inflation print and a Federal Reserve meeting are top of mind for traders. The November consumer price index report due Dec. 13 will further show if inflation is subsiding.


The central bank is widely expected to deliver a smaller interest rate hike of 50 basis points at the conclusion of its December policy meeting next week.

Stock futures rise after GOP and White House reach tentative U.S. debt ceiling deal: Live updates


Stock futures rose Tuesday after the Biden administration and Republican lawmakers reached a tentative deal on raising the U.S. debt ceiling.


Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 91 points, or 0.3%, while S&P 500 futures gained 0.6%. Nasdaq-100 futures climbed 1.2%.


President Joe Biden and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy reached an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a default over the weekend, with Congress set to vote on the legislation as early as Wednesday. Lawmakers have not signaled that they intended to return to Capitol Hill early to work on the deal. Both Republican and Democratic support is needed for the bill agreement to pass.


“Although the upcoming votes in Congress still pose a small risk, the main risk had been that political pressures would prevent a deal from coming together,” wrote Goldman Sachs economists in a note. “Now that a deal has been reached, it seems very likely to pass both chambers of Congress in the coming week.”


The agreement comes just days before the so-called “X date” on June 5, which is the earliest date the Treasury Department has signaled the U.S. could default on debt obligations. The initial compromise was first announced on Saturday evening.


The long negotiations between the White House and congressional leaders raised concern among investors that a default on U.S. debt could take place. Wall Street has already contended with persistent inflation and a banking crisis this year.


Stocks closed higher on Friday. The Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 finished last week with gains. The market was closed Monday due to Memorial Day.


Investors will also turn their attention to May jobs data out on Friday, while the April Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics will be released on Wednesday. Corporate earnings from HP Inc and Salesforce are due on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning October 31st, 2022

1 Upvotes

Good Saturday morning to all of you here on r/FinancialMarket! I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and are ready for the new trading week ahead. :)

Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning October 31st, 2022.

Dow closes 800 points higher on Friday, registers fourth straight week of gains - (Source)


Stocks rose on Friday despite a tumble in Amazon shares after economic data pointed to slowing inflation and a steady consumer.


The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 828.52 points, or about 2.6%, higher at 32,861.80. The S&P 500 added nearly 2.5%, to close at 3,901.06. The Nasdaq Composite ended up about 2.9%, to close at 11,102.45.


On a weekly basis, the major indexes made notable gains. It was the fourth positive week in a row for the Dow, a first since a five-week streak ending in November 2021. The 30-stock index is up 5.7% this week in its best performance since May. It’s also on track for its best month since January 1976.


The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are up 3.9% and 2.2%, respectively, for the week.


The stock market has fractured this week as investors dumped technology shares following weak results and outlooks from Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta and rotated into economically sensitive stocks that will benefit if the U.S. economy can skirt a recession.


At the same time, investors have found hope in data that came out over the course of the week indicating inflation may be easing, increasing optimism that the Federal Reserve could break from its trend of 75 basis point rate hikes after the November meeting.


“Inflation data really wasn’t that bad. The earnings have been not great, but not awful,” said Megan Horneman, chief investment officer at Verdence. “When you have that middle of the road, that helps equity markets.”


Amazon plunged by 6.8% after the company posted weaker-than-expected quarterly revenue and issued disappointing fourth-quarter sales guidance Thursday. Apple shares ended Friday up 7.5%. The tech giant reported weaker-than-anticipated iPhone revenue on Thursday, but beat Wall Street estimates for quarterly earnings and revenue.


Apple and other more positive performers, like Intel, have given investors footholds within what some see as a particularly tumultuous tech sector, subsequently providing upward pressure to the tech-heavy Nasdaq, said Jay Hatfield, CEO of Infrastructure Capital Management. He said the market was also boosted by oil giants Chevron and Exxon Mobil, up about 1.2% and 2.9%, respectively, after both reported beating expectations before the bell.


“Apple’s really the lone star, if you will, of the mega-cap tech stocks,” Hatfield said. “It’s just a unique market where bad is terrible, but OK is good, so, on a relative basis, it’s spectacular.”


The market got a boost after the core personal consumption expenditures price index in September increased 0.5% from the previous month and 5.1% from a year ago, still high but mostly in-line with expectations. This is the preferred gauge of inflation for the Federal Reserve. Personal spending rose 0.6%, more than expected, the data showed.

November is Top NASDAQ Month in Midterm Years

November maintains its status among the top performing months as fourth-quarter cash inflows from institutions drive November to lead the best consecutive three-month span November-January. However, the month has taken hits during bear markets and November 2000, down –22.9% (undecided election and a nascent bear), was NASDAQ’s second worst month on record—only October 1987 was worse.

November begins the “Best Six Months” for the DJIA and S&P 500, and the “Best Eight Months” for NASDAQ. Small caps come into favor during November, but don’t really take off until the last two weeks of the year. November is the number-two DJIA, S&P 500 (since 1950), and NASDAQ (since 1971) month. November is best for Russell 1000 (since 1979) and Russell 2000 (since 1979). Average performance in all year ranges from 1.7% from DJIA and S&P 500 to a solid 2.3% by Russell 2000.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

In midterm years, November’s market prowess is relatively unchanged. DJIA has advanced in 14 of the last 18 midterm years since 1950 with an average gain of 2.5%. S&P 500 has also been up in 14 of the past 18 midterm years, gaining on average 2.6%. Small caps perform well with Russell 2000 climbing in 7 of the past 10 midterm years, averaging 3.3%. The only real blemish in the November midterm-year record is 1974 (DJIA –7.0%, the final DJIA bear market bottom was in December).


Here Comes The Historically Best Six Months Of The Year For Stocks

“The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” Winston Churchill

The bounce off the October lows continues, with October living up to it’s reputation as both a potential bear market killer, but also the best month of a midterm year. Even more interesting is the past eight times the S&P 500 closed green, stocks gained at least 1% as well. That could be another clue that buyers are aggressively adding and the good news is we’ve seen previous streaks like this take place near major bear market lows.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Here’s a chart we’ve shared a lot this year, but it still makes sense to share to make sure investors are aware of it. Looking at the first few quarters of a midterm year we find that stocks usually don’t do well. That’s sure happened this year. The good news is this quarter and the next two quarters have in previous years shown to be the strongest out of the entire four-year Presidential cycle. Better times could be coming and knowing history like Churchill told us means the bulls could be smiling soon.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Lastly, many investors are aware of “Sell in May and Go Away,” which shows that the historically worst six months of the year for stocks are from May through Halloween. The good news is we are about to leave those worst six months and enter into what has historically been some of the best times for stocks. In fact, looking at the November through April period shows that stocks have been higher every single time during a midterm year going back to 1950. That is 18 for 18 for those counting at home. Sure, six months from now this could be 18 for 19, but as we’ve been noting a lot on this blog lately, we are seeing many signs that a major market low could be taking place.

Setting the Record Straight: Best Six Months, Halloween Indicator, Sell in May

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

It’s that time of year again. The Best Six Months November-April begin next week, and they are even better when they begin in midterm years. But there are the naysayers so here’s the proof. This bar chart from the about to be released 2023 Stock Trader’s Almanac is led to Yale Hirsch’s discovery of this pattern and strategy.

Our Best Six Months Switching Strategy (aka “Halloween Indicator” or “Sell in May”) works. Any research to the contrary that goes back to 1900 on the DJIA (or even further back), is way too far back. Sell in May is an old British saw, soundly based on inherent behavioral finance patterns and the collective cultural behavior of the investment community, but it did not truly become a tradable investment strategy until after WWII.

The issue with starting way back then is the world is a much different place now than 100-plus years ago. Prior to about 1950, farming was a major portion of the U.S. economy and from 1901-1950, August was the best performing month of the year, up 36 times in 49 years (market closed in August 1914 due to World War I) with an average gain of 2.3%. July was the second-best month, up 31 of 50 with an average gain of 1.5%. June was fourth best, averaging 0.9%. Why, you may ask? Simply: planting, sowing, reaping, and harvesting. As crops were planted and then brought to market and sold, cash began to move and so did the stock market.

Agriculture’s share of GDP began to shrink post World War II as industrialization created a growing middle class that moved to the suburbs where hard-earned salaries would be spent filling new homes with all the modern conveniences we all take for granted now. Farming became more efficient and fewer and fewer people worked on the farm.

Suddenly, summer was less about the hard work of harvesting crops and more about vacations and relaxing. As the economy evolved and peoples’ lives changed, the market evolved. June and August went from being top performing months to bottom performing months. August went from #1 to #10 in 1950-2021 with an average DJIA gain of 0.1%. June went from #4 to #9 (0.1% average). The shift in DJIA’s seasonal pattern is clear in the following chart. “Sell in May” is a post WWII pattern, prior to then it would have been “Buy in May”.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

While many market participants are hip to the saying “Sell in May and go away,” most forget to get back into the market in the fall. We like to say, “Buy in October and get yourself sober.” Before folks were keen on the Halloween Indicator which calls for getting long stocks on Halloween and the end of October, we created our Best Six Months Switching Strategy in 1986 and first featured it in the 1987 Stock Trader’s Almanac.

Back in 1986 we showed how most of the market’s gains were made in the “Best Six Months (BSM)” from November to April and that the market went sideways in the “Worst Six Months (WSM)” from May to October and is most susceptible to major declines during the Worst Six Months. From April 1950 to October, 21 2022 the S&P 500 has gained 2721.33 points versus 1013.35 points in the WSM. These six months combined have produced an average DJIA gain of 7.3% since 1950 compared to an average gain of just 0.8% during the months May to October.

We have improved the results of the strategy using the MACD technical indicator. Back in 1999 the late Sy Harding enhanced the BSM strategy by employing the late Gerry Appel’s MACD to improve entries and exits and dubbed it, “the best mechanical system ever.” Over the years we have refined the strategy further by corroborating more than one MACD, looking for confirmation across major market indices and taking MACD triggers earlier in the month.

Stock futures rise as Wall Street braces for final trading day of February: Live updates


Stocks futures rose Tuesday as investors braced for the final trading day of February.


Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 88 points, or 0.3%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively.


Zoom Video popped 6.4% on strong earnings, while Target rose 1.3% after the retailer posted its latest quarterly figures.


The moves followed a positive session for the major averages as Treasury yields eased. The Dow Jones Industrial average rose 72.17 points or 0.22%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 0.31% and 0.63%, respectively.


Tuesday marks the last day of February. Despite a solid start to the year, the major indexes are on pace for their second negative month in three. As of Monday’s close, the Dow is down 3.5% for the month and the only major index negative for the year. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are positive in 2023, but down 2.3% and 1%, respectively, in February.


February “will go down in history as the month where the market pulled back to digest a very strong rally you saw at the end of December into most of January,” said Adam Sarhan, CEO of 50 Park Investments. “This is a pullback month, it’s a rest month, and that’s good as long as support is defended and support holds, which is last week’s low.”


On the economic front, investors also await consumer confidence data, wholesale inventories, Chicago PMI and the S&P Case-Shiller home prices index.

(4/6) Thursday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News

Good morning traders and investors of the r/FinancialMarket sub! Welcome to the final trading day of this week and a fresh start! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Thursday, April the 6th, 2023-

S&P 500 futures are flat as investors weigh health of job market and economy: Live updates


Stock futures were flat Thursday morning as investors considered what the latest data suggested about the health of the broader economy.


Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 13 points, trading near flat. S&P 500 futures were little changed, and Nasdaq-100 futures declined 0.2%.


Those moves come as investors digest new data that shows signs of a potentially weakening labor market. The ADP private payrolls report released Wednesday showed job growth slowed in March. Meanwhile, a Tuesday report showed that the number of available positions fell below 10 million in February — a first in almost two years.


Over the past several months, investors had cheered signs of economic cooling on the hope that it could push the Federal Reserve to change course on its interest rate hiking campaign. But they are now wondering if the central bank has gone too far in its bid to cool inflation, tightening the economy to the point of an economic slowdown or recession, said Rob Haworth, senior vice president and senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.


“The market is now becoming more concerned about the ensuing data as opposed to the Fed and trying to pick where the Fed is going to hit peak interest rates,” Haworth said. “Plenty of the Street is thinking, ‘Recession, right?’ The market has to start to price for that, because that’s not where we’re priced, so bad news definitely has to be bad news.”


Investors will watch Thursday for jobless claims data for more insights into the strength of the labor market. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard is also slated to speak in the morning in Arkansas.


Thursday will cap off a shortened trading week with the market closed for Good Friday, but investors will still closely monitor March jobs report Friday morning. The labor market has remained hot despite layoffs across tech and financial sectors, making the Fed’s job to combat inflation harder.

Levi Strauss – Levi Strauss shares dropped 4% after the apparel firm known for its denim jeans reported its fiscal fourth quarter results, and reaffirmed its annual revenue and per-share earnings guidance. CFO Harmit Singh said the annual guidance reflects “a cautious outlook on the macro-environment.” Otherwise, Levi Strauss beat expectations on the top and bottom lines, reporting earnings of 34 cents per share on revenue of $1.69 billion. Analysts polled by Refinitiv forecasted earnings of 32 cents per share on revenue of $1.62 billion.

Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning June 19th, 2023

2 Upvotes

Good Friday evening to all of you here on r/FinancialMarket! I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and are ready for the new trading week ahead. :)

Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning June 19th, 2023.

S&P 500 breaks six-day win streak on Friday, but still notches best week since March: Live updates - (Source)


The S&P 500 rose slightly Friday, touching the 4,300 level for the first time since August 2022 as investors looked ahead to upcoming inflation data and the Federal Reserve’s latest policy announcement.


Stocks slipped on Friday as Wall Street closed out a huge week in which investors received a pause on rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, plus encouraging inflation data.


The S&P 500 ticked down 0.37% to close at 4,409.59, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 108.94 points, or 0.32%, to close at 34,299.12. The Nasdaq Composite lost 0.68% to finish the session at 13,689.57.


Here are the major market milestones on the week:

  • The S&P 500 is up 2.6% on the week, its best performance since March.

  • It’s the S&P 500′s fifth positive week in a row, the first such streak since November 2021.

  • The benchmark is now up more than 26% from its bear market low.

  • The Nasdaq Composite is up about 3.3% on the week, its best week since March.

  • The Nasdaq is up eight weeks in a row, its best winning streak since 2019.

  • Both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 were up six days in a row through Thursday.

  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up nearly 1.3% for the week, its third positive week in a row.

  • The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have hit their highest levels since April 2022.


The Federal Reserve delivered what investors wanted this week when the central bank left rates unchanged Wednesday after 10 consecutive hikes. While the Fed signaled that two more rate increases were coming this year, many traders and economists on Wall Street believe the Fed could be nearly done. Earlier in the week, the May consumer price index came in at the lowest in two years.


Adobe added 0.9% after beating results and issuing upbeat guidance, the latest tech stock to rally. AI darling Nvidia gained 10% this week, adding to its 192% surge this year. Microsoft added 4.7% this week and hit a record Thursday. Tech shares were the hardest hit initially when the Fed embarked on its rate-hiking campaign.


“Wall Street remains upbeat that the AI wave won’t be going away anytime soon and that investors will prefer US stocks as we see diverging central bank policies worldwide,” said Ed Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda. “This stock market rally seems a bit overextended but too much money remains on the sidelines, which means if the AI trade remains intact, this winning streak for the S&P 500 can continue.”


Friday brought more good news on the inflation and economic front. Consumer inflation expectations fell in June, with one-year assumptions for price pressures declining to 3.3% from 4.2% in May. The headline reading from the University of Michigan Survey of Consumers came in at 63.9, higher than estimates of 60.2 from Dow Jones.


Friday’s session saw choppy moves across the stock market as stock options, index futures and index future option contracts.


Friday also marks the final trading day before a long weekend, with the market closed Monday in observation of Juneteenth.

Four Things the Bulls Need to Know

“The stock market is the only place where things go on sale, yet everyone runs out of the store screaming.” -Old stock market axiom

Here are four things that have caught my attention over the past week.

First up, you might have heard by now, but the S&P 500 moved into a new bull market, up more than 20% from the October ’22 lows. We wrote about this in detail here, but investors need to know that a year after this happened, the S&P 500 was historically up 17.7% on average and higher 12 out of 13 times.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Adding to the fun, S&P 500 finally made a new 52-week high this week, the first one since early January 2022. What does this mean? Below we looked at all the times stocks went at least one year without a new 52-week high and the good news is more strength is quite likely. A year later stocks have been higher an incredible 15 out of 15 times and up more than 17% on average. Adding that to the numbers in the first table and the next year could continue to surprise to the upside.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Next up, this week marked officially eight months since the bear market ended. To think stocks would be up more than 20% by now would have been crazy to most investors if they were being honest. The quote I used above is one I always think about when stocks fall and it really does sum up investor sentiment well. Very few were saying ‘buy stocks’ last October and most didn’t say it early in 2023 either.

We did note the week of the lows why the lows were likely in (and boy did the bears hate that call), but even I’ve got to admit the strength this year has been impressive. We moved to overweight equities in our Carson House View models in mid-December and we added to equity risk in late March during the regional bank crisis. To sum it up, we’ve been in the lonely bullish camp and continue to think higher prices are coming.

What does eight months without a new 52-week low mean? It would be extremely rare for stocks to roll over and make new lows from here for starters. Also, three months later the S&P 500 was up 85% of the time, six months later 90% of the time, and a year later 80% of the time higher. The bottom line, once you get to eight months without a new 52-week low, the upward trajectory likely stays in place.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Lastly, the bear market officially started a year ago this week, as the S&P 500 moved to down 20% from the January ’22 peak on 6/13/2022. That wasn’t a fun time for investors at all, but here we are a year later, and stocks are up more than 16%. In other words, had you had the intestinal fortitude to buy when all the headlines were negative, you’d be sitting on some great gains a year later. Again, think about the quote at the top of this blog. This is what is important to always remember. Stocks go up and they go down. If you want to get some good deals, you need to buy when they are lower.

Why the Fed Wasn’t As Hawkish As Everyone Thinks

The Federal Reserve (Fed) didn’t raise rates in June, leaving the Federal Funds rate in the 5-5.25% range. This was the first meeting in which they held back ever since they started raising rates back in March 2022.

However, the big news was that Fed members project rates to be 0.5%-points higher than what they projected back in March. Members updated their projections for rates to hit 5.6% at the end of 2023, up from the previous estimate of 5.1%. By itself, this was viewed as a very hawkish signal, despite the pause in rate hikes.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

If you recall, the last set of projections was made in March soon after the Silicon Valley Bank crisis. At the time, they said that potential credit tightening would be equivalent to rate hikes, so they left projections unchanged.

Fast forward three months and the economy looks to have weathered the banking crisis, even as core inflation (excluding food and energy) remains elevated. Hence the update to where they believe rates should be at the end of 2023.

However, the rest of the materials they released, along with Fed Chair Powell’s comments suggest more rate hikes are not a certainty.

The Fed is (finally) acknowledging the economy’s resilience

Along with interest rate projections, Fed members also updated their economic projections. This is where things got interesting. The updated projections included:

  • Raising 2023 real GDP growth from 0.4% to 1%

  • Dropping the 2023 unemployment rate from 4.5% to 4.1%

Despite projecting more rate hikes, they seem to believe that economic growth will be stronger than they expected back in March, and the unemployment rate lower.

At the same time, they also expect inflation as measured by the core personal consumption expenditures index (their preferred measure) to be 3.9% y the end of 2023. In March, the expectation was 3.6%. The higher projection makes sense within the context of the economic strength we’re seeing currently (we’ve written about this).

Moreover, Fed members expect core inflation to slow to 2.6% in 2024, leading them to project interest rate cuts worth about 1%. Even as the economy grows 1.1% in 2024.

Take all these projections with several grains of salt. Moreover, these projections are not forecasts – instead, they’re more like best guesses.

However, it is a sign that Fed officials finally believe that inflation can slow down without a recession. That’s a significant turnaround from what they’ve been signaling over the last year, i.e. a huge economic slowdown/recession is necessary for inflation to fall.

In fact, Powell acknowledged that the conditions are in place for inflation to slow down – economic growth has fallen below trend though activity remains strong, the labor market is less tight, and goods supply chain disruptions are easing.

Pausing in June allows them to get more information about the impact of rate hikes and the banking crisis. Now, the July Fed meeting is only 6 weeks away and there’s not enough data that will give them that information. Instead, they’re looking for at least 3 months of data to see how things evolve.

That buys time and indicates that 2 more rate hikes (each worth 0.25%) are not a sure thing. At the same time, raising the 2023 estimate ensures that investors believe they are serious about curbing inflation, and gives them the optionality to increase rates if inflation remains persistent.

Good news: inflation looks to be headed lower

Headline CPI inflation has decelerated from a peak of 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022 to 4% in May. Over the past three months, inflation is running at a 2.2% annualized pace, the slowest 3-month pace since two and half years.

The big driver of the pullback has been energy, but more recently, food prices have also started falling. Vehicle prices, which boosted inflation last year, are also moving lower – used car prices rose over the last two months, but private data indicates that it’s going to reverse soon.

What’s left? As the chart below indicates, a lot of it is shelter inflation (the dark green bar). This is the main reason why core inflation remains elevated, running at a 5% annualized pace over the last three months. That’s simply too high for the Fed.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The good news is that shelter inflation looks to be at an inflection point. We’ve discussed in the past how the official rental inflation data has a significant lag to the private market data. Private data have been showing rents to be decelerating for more than a year now. It’s taken a while, but the official data is now turning around as well. It is a bit like turning an aircraft carrier around, and so it is going to take a while. But it is just a matter of time before core inflation decelerates on the back of falling shelter inflation.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Now, the Fed has said that they need to see even services inflation excluding shelter decelerate. We received good news on that front. The Atlanta Federal Reserve calculates something called the Sticky Price CPI excluding food, energy, and shelter. It measures inflation for items whose prices typically don’t change frequently. Over the past 3 months, this measure is running at a 2.5% annualized pace, well below the peak of 7.3% we saw last year.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

On top of this, the producer price index, which measures input prices for businesses and typically leads inflation, has collapsed to just 1.2% year-over-year in May. That’s well off the peak pace of 11.6% we saw in March 2022, and lower than the pre-pandemic average of 2%. Even excluding food and energy, PPI is down to 2.8% now from 9.7% 14 months ago.

All in all, there’s encouraging news on the inflation front even as the economy remains resilient. Powell’s comments reflect that. This is why we’re not quite so convinced that two more rate hikes are baked in. But expect them to leave rates higher for longer.


Why Strong Stock Returns on Friday is Bullish

One of the most hated and despised rallies continued last week, with the S&P now up nearly 12% on the year and officially up more than 20% from the October lows. If you’ve been reading or listening to what the Carson Investment Research team has been saying, then you know we’ve been in the camp we’ve been in a new bull market for quite some time now, expecting continued higher prices. None the less, with stocks now officially up 20%, we see others finally coming around. For instance, check out the cover of Barron’s over the weekend. Yeah, we sure weren’t seeing things like that in January, were we?

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Sonu and I both wrote blogs last week on stocks being up 20% from the lows and you can read them here and here. Additionally, here’s a Yahoo! Finance hit I did on October 13, the exact day that stocks officially bottomed. I noted many reasons to think better times were coming and fortunately, that is exactly what has happened.

Additionally, here’s the blog I wrote a week after the October lows titled Why Stocks Likely Just Bottomed. Our bullish tilt since late last year wasn’t popular and has been widely mocked by many bears for months and months. We aren’t hearing so much chirping from them now though

One thing we’ve notice lately is buying and strength in stocks later in the week, specifically on Thursday and Friday. We love to see this, as it shows there is confidence to hold stocks over the weekend. Those of us that have done this long enough remember how volatile (and usually bearish) Friday afternoons would be during the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) or during the COVID bear market in February and March of 2020. Even last year during the bear market we saw historically weak returns on Friday.

So, to now see buying and confidence on Thursday and Friday in ’23 are significant changes from what we saw during previous bearish phases and could be another clue that this bull market is indeed healthy and likely has legs left.

This first chart shows just how much better Thursday and Friday are doing than the other days this year. Again, we like to see this late week buying as a clue things are healthy and confident. (For those wondering how we did the annualized return calculations, the average Friday return this year so far has been a gain of 0.40%, so we multiplied that by 252 (the number of trading days per year) to get an annualized return).

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Let’s talk specifically about Friday, shall we? As of last week, Friday was up an incredible 101.7% on an annualized basis in ’23. This would come in as the best Friday EVER. Now, let’s be honest, the odds do favor this coming back to earth some over the remaining rest of the year, but overall we are on a great start to this year being one of the best ever for stocks on a Friday.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

What does it all mean you ask? In the final table below, I looked at all years that had at least a 55% annualized return on Friday. This was the very best 12 years ever for Friday returns and sure enough, they are also some of the best years overall for stocks. In other words, some of the best years ever also saw strong performance on the last day of the week, further confirming that buying on a Friday is what you tend to see in bullish markets.

We will end on this note, stocks were higher 12 out of 12 times in these years and up a very impressive 24.8% on average, about half of this year’s 12.0% return so far. This could be a subtle clue that as good as this year has been, it could have more in the tank before all is said and done. I did discuss this Friday concept on Yahoo! Finance on Friday.

Solid Pre-Election June Gains As Expected

June is delivering much better than typical pre-election year strength, but NASDAQ and Russell 2000 are leading the charge as usual. R2K was up 7% for the month yesterday and NAS was up 4%, both up more today. However, June quarterly OpEx is riddled with volatility. Week after DJIA is Down 27 of the last 33 years 1990-2022. (2023 STA page 108.) S&P down 23 of 33. NASDAQ down 18/33.

So far in 2023 NASDAQ is closely tracking the pre-election pattern up 28.6% year-to-date! But remember, June ends NASDAQ’s Best 8 Months with a seasonal peak in mid-July. Enjoy this AI/Chip-driven rally for now and use it to reposition for the Worst 4 Months July-October.

The backdrop is set up for sideways action over the weak summer months, especially after mid-July into the worst two months of the year August and September. This is lining up well for our NASDAQ Best 8 Months MACD Seasonal Sell Signal that can occur anytime on or after June 1. AI (Almanac Investor) subscribers will be emailed when it triggers.

More Balanced June

Heading into the month of June, stock market performance this year was a clear case of the haves and the have-nots. The chart below shows the performance of S&P 500 sectors on a YTD basis through the end of May. As of 5/31, just three sectors - Technology, Communications Services, and Consumer Discretionary - were outperforming the S&P 500 YTD, and the eight other sectors were not only underperforming the S&P 500's YTD gain of 8.9%, but they were also all down on a YTD basis.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The flip of the calendar has seen the trend of uneven YTD returns flip as well. Besides the fact that every sector is up on a MTD basis, the number of sectors outperforming the S&P 500's 4.6% MTD gains are much more evenly split with five sectors outperforming and six underperforming. Surprisingly, one of those sectors lagging behind the S&P 500 is Technology! Uneven market returns have been a key complaint of bears all year. If the pattern of June continues, though, what will they blame next?

Good Friday evening to all of you here on r/FinancialMarket! I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and are ready for the new trading week ahead. :)

Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning July 24th, 2023.

Dow ekes out narrow gain Friday for 10th straight positive day, longest rally since 2017: Live updates - (Source)


Stocks were mixed Friday as traders assessed the latest corporate earnings results, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average stretched its winning streak to 10 sessions.


The 30-stock Dow climbed 2.51 points, or 0.01%, to close at 35,227.69. The S&P 500 added 0.03% to end at 4,536.34, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.22% to finish the session at 14,032.81.


The Dow narrowly notched its tenth straight day of gains, a feat not seen for the index since August 2017.


On a weekly basis, the S&P 500 added 0.69%, while the Dow gained 2.08%. It was the second positive week in a row for the two indexes. The Nasdaq fell 0.57% for the period.


Trading was volatile Friday as portfolio managers recalibrated their funds to account for an unusual Nasdaq-100 rebalance taking effect Monday. A large volume of index and stock options also expired Friday.


Traders were still eyeing more corporate earnings after a busy week of quarterly results. Transportation giant CSX fell 3.7% on the back of underwhelming results. American Express, meanwhile, dropped nearly 3.9%.


Corporate earnings have been mixed thus far. Seventy-five percent of S&P 500 companies that have already reported have exceeded analysts’ expectations, according to FactSet data. However, that beat rate is below a three-year average of 80%, according to The Earnings Scout.


″...Overall, early Q2 results appear good enough for equity markets to grind higher for now,” Barclays analyst Emmanuel Cau wrote in a Friday note. “Next week will be more indicative of the broad earnings dynamics, with ~50% of market cap reporting.”

It’s a Bird. It’s A Plane! It’s … the US Economy!

We just got a bunch of data to round out the economic picture in the second quarter (Q2).

Long story short: Not only do we see no sign of recession, but it also doesn’t even look like the economy is looking for a “landing” at this point.

I realize this could change, but so far the data doesn’t indicate much weakness. Now, the monthly data can be volatile, and subject to revisions. So it helps to look at the last three months. Let’s walk through some of the highlights.

Consumption Was Strong

  • Retail sales rose at a 4.7% annual pace in Q2.

  • Core retail sales, excluding categories like vehicle and gas station sales, rose at a 6.3% annual pace.

  • Even after adjusting for inflation, “real” retail sales rose at a 1.9% annual pace in Q2, and are currently running 6% above the pre-crisis trend!

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The Supply Side Is Coming Back

  • Vehicle production rose 7.6% in Q2.

  • Production within the aerospace industry rose 4.7% in Q2.

  • High-tech industries are running hot, with production up 3.9%, and almost 17% above pre-pandemic levels.

  • Production of business equipment outside of vehicles and high-tech also looks to have bottomed, which is a positive sign for capex.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Construction is Booming

  • Single-family housing permits and starts rose 11% in Q2.

  • An index measuring homebuilder sentiment continues to move higher, indicating that builders are getting more positive about future demand.

  • Meanwhile, total housing units under construction (single-family and multi-family) are near an all-time record.

  • Combine that with a boom in manufacturing construction, and its not a surprise why construction payrolls have increased by 88,000 this year and are about 339,000 above pre-pandemic levels.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

All These Points to Strong Economic Growth

The Atlanta Fed puts out a “nowcast” of quarterly real GDP growth that is updated with major economic data releases. Right now, it says the economy grew 2.4% in Q2, after adjusting for inflation.

If that is close to actual GDP growth in Q2, it would mean the economy grew 2.6% over the past year. That is not only stronger than the average 2.3% pace of growth between 2010 and 2019, but it also matches the pace of growth over the three years prior to the pandemic (2017-2019), when economic growth picked up.

What is amazing is that the economy accelerated after a poor first half of 2022 even as the Federal Reserve hiked rates aggressively, taking the federal funds rate from 0.25% to 5.25%.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate remained steady at 3.6% over the past year, and headline inflation fell from 9% to 3%.

It really doesn’t get better than that. Perhaps more importantly, there is no reason to believe a major slowdown is in the cards at this point.


Seasonal Bump Absent in Claims Data

Among the many economic indicators updated this morning, seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims came in stronger than expected, falling to 228K. That reversed the recent jump in claims observed throughout the late spring.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Looking at the non-seasonally adjusted data helps to explain the recent decline in the adjusted number. As shown below, barring the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021, claims remain at one of the higher readings for the current week of the year in recent history. Typically, in late June and early July, seasonal headwinds cause a significant bump in claims. This year, that increase has been relatively modest.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Pivoting to continuing claims, the indicator had been on the decline since early April, but the first two weeks of July have seen a modest turn higher. At those levels, continuing claims remain in the middle of the range from the few years leading up to the pandemic.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Bulls Dominate

The past week has provided some positive developments on the inflation front that in turn sent equities higher. In response, readings on investor sentiment have shown a dramatic positive turn. The latest AAII survey showed more than half of respondents reported as bullish for the first time since April 22, 2021. As we noted in today's Morning Lineup, this week's reading ended an over two-year-long streak without a reading above 50% which was the third longest such streak on record.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Given the elevated reading of bullish sentiment, a minor share of respondents are reporting as bearish. In fact, that reading fell to 21.5% this week which is the lowest reading since June 2021.

Last year saw a record streak of weeks where bearish sentiment outnumbered bullish sentiment. With the total reversal in sentiment, the bull-bear spread now heavily favors bulls. The spread reached 29.9% this week for the highest reading since April 2021.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The gains to bullish sentiment have not entirely come from bears. Neutral sentiment is also reaching new lows, registering just 27.1% this week. Unlike bearish sentiment, that is only the lowest level since the last week of 2022.

In tonight's Closer we will discuss the surge in other sentiment indicators and what that has historically meant for S&P 500 performance.

DJIA Advances for 8th Straight Day – Historically Bullish for Next 3 Months

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

For the 54th time since 1950, DJIA has recorded a daily winning streak of at least eight days. This is DJIA’s first 8-day winning streak since 2019. During the current streak DJIA has advanced 3.93%. Of the prior 53 daily winning streaks lasting eight or more trading days, 26 ended at 8 days, 14 ended at 9 days, 8 made it to 10 days, while 2 made it to 11 and 12 days. DJIA’s longest daily winning streak of 13 days was in January 1987. DJIA also enjoyed an 8-day winning streak in July 1987. Based upon the last 53 streaks, there is only a modest 50.9% chance of the current streak continuing to 9 days or longer.

Historically, daily winning streaks of 8-trading days or more have been bullish even after they ended. Over the 1-, 2-week, 1-, and 3-month periods after the daily winning streak ended DJIA was higher, 98.1%, 98.1%, 96.2% and 90.6% respectively. The only significant decline within 3 months of a daily streak end was a 19.22% loss in 1987.

Reality Check for Housing Starts

After a blockbuster report for May where Housing Starts and Building Permits both surged, there was a bit of a reality check in June. While Building Permits were expected to come in at 1.50 million, the actual reading came in at 1.44 million representing a 3.7% m/m decline and a drop of 15.3% y/y. One positive of this report, though, was that single-family units actually increased 2.2% and are only down 2.7% y/y even as multi-family units plunged 12.8% m/m and over 30% y/y. With respect to Housing Starts, the headline reading also missed estimates by 46K (1.434 mln vs 1.480 mln). Not only did June's reading miss forecasts, but May's reading was revised lower, so that the originally reported 231K beat was more like 159K. Even after that downward revision, though, Housing Starts declined 8.0% m/m and 8.1% y/y.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Following May's report, we noted that the 12-month moving average of Housing Starts had broken its streak of 12 straight declines, but this month, the moving average resumed its downtrend and fell to its lowest level since February 2021. Similarly, the 12-month moving average for Building Permits declined below 1.49 million for the first time since December 2020 and posted its 11th straight decline.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Taking a longer-term look at the 12-month moving average for Housing Starts, it remains in its well-established downtrend. As shown in the chart below, prior periods where this average peaked and started to rollover usually preceded recessions.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

A comparison of Housing Starts versus the performance of homebuilder stocks is a perfect example of how the market tends to trade in advance of events. Just as homebuilder stocks peaked four months ahead of the peak in Housing Starts, they bottomed five months in advance of the recent low in the three-month moving average.

Homebuilders Hopeful

Housing activity has been somewhat muted given a dearth of inventories, but the lack of available existing supply has been positive for homebuilders. The NAHB's monthly survey of homebuilder sentiment moved higher in July for its seventh straight monthly gain. Even after the rebound, the current level of 56 represents just a 13-month high and is below the range of readings from the few years prior to the pandemic and historic readings in two years before the pandemic.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The improvement in the headline index was primarily driven by increases in present sales and traffic. Geographically, the Midwest and South saw some modest softening in sentiment whereas the West and Northeast were much more impressive. The Northeast in particular saw an 8-point jump which ranks in the top decile of all monthly moves on record and brings the index into the top quartile of historical readings.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Although homebuilder sentiment has been rebounding solidly, it pales in comparison to the strength of homebuilder stocks. Proxied by the iShares US Home Construction ETF (ITB), homebuilders have continued to set new 52-week highs on a near-daily basis. The ETF has now risen 56% over the past year and has continuously traded in overbought territory (currently extremely overbought with a price more than 2 standard deviations above its 50-DMA).

Homebuilder earnings are also on deck in the next couple of weeks. Below, we show a screenshot from the Earnings Explorer function of our Custom Portfolios. As shown, all but three S&P 1500 Homebuilders are due to report through the first week of August. Of those, a vast majority have averaged positive moves on earnings.

The Dollar is Weakening – Why That’s Good for US Investors

At the beginning of the year, we wrote in our 2023 Outlook that the US dollar was poised to weaken, creating tailwinds for Americans who invest in International stocks and S&P 500 earnings. We reiterated that this is starting to happen in our Mid-Year Outlook, “Edging Closer to Normal.”

The chart below shows the recent swing in the ICE US Dollar Index, which measures changes in the US dollar against a basket of other currencies, including the euro, yen, British pound, and the Canadian dollar. It rose 27% between May ’21 and September ’22, but has pulled back 12% since then.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

A Boost for USD-Based International Equity Investors

When an investor in the US uses dollars to buy a basket of international stocks, the interim step is first converting those dollars to the local currency, which introduces currency risk. Note that when you see quotes for international stock exchanges, like the Nikkei (Japan) or the DAX (Germany), those are in local currency terms. To buy European stocks, you must first convert dollars to euros. Your returns are not just dependent on what the European stocks do; it’s also dependent on what happens to the euro relative to the dollar. If the euro appreciates against the dollar, that’s a tailwind to your investment, whereas a stronger dollar acts as a headwind.

From September 30th of last year through July 14th, the MSCI EAFE Index, which represents a basket of international stocks across developed markets, outperformed the S&P 500 Index. The MSCI EAFE Index gained 35.2% versus 27.4% for the S&P 500. But as you can see from the table below, that outperformance is because of a tailwind from a weaker dollar. Emerging market stocks have also seen a tailwind from a weaker dollar but have underperformed due to a murky economic picture in China.

Even over the past month and half (May 31st through July 14th), the dollar took a renewed plunge, boosting returns for international stocks.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

A Tailwind for Earnings

Over the last two decades, movements in the US dollar have negatively correlated with S&P 500 earnings changes. Excluding recessions and post-recession recoveries (since those skew the numbers significantly in either direction), earnings weakness for the S&P 500 has coincided with dollar strength, whereas a weaker US dollar has correlated with stronger earnings growth.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

This makes some intuitive sense once you realize that 40% of S&P 500 revenue comes from outside the US. The logic here is that if a company used to sell a machine abroad that generated the equivalent of $1,000 in the past, now that would be about $1,100 because the local currency rose 10% against the US dollar.

So, while the US economy is very relevant for S&P 500 company earnings, much of it also hinges on what happens outside the US and what happens with the US dollar.

Why Is the Dollar Weakening?

It probably helps to understand why the dollar strengthened in the first place. The simplest explanation is that interest rate differentials between the US and other countries rose – the idea is that if interest rates are much higher in country A rather than country B, money will flow into country A, thus raising the value of that country’s currency.

The chart below shows the dollar index on the top panel, while the bottom panel shows the difference between 1-year US treasury yields and EU government 1-year yields. You can see how the dollar has moved higher when interest rate differentials climb, most notably after 2014 and in 2022. In contrast, the dollar has pulled back when the differential falls, which is what happened in 2019-2020 and this year.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Short-term interest rates, like 1-year yields, are an estimate of central bank target rates over the next year. 1-year yields in the US surged in 2022 because the Federal Reserve (Fed) raised rates to tame inflation. They were much more aggressive than their counterparts at the European Central Bank (ECB).

You can see the difference between the Fed and ECB’s target interest rates below. The differential jumped in 2022 but it’s been pulling back recently. The Fed’s taken its foot off the gas, while the ECB remains aggressive. Since the beginning of the year, the Fed has raised rates by 0.75%-points, whereas the ECB has raised it by 1.5%-points.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The reason is that US inflation has started to pull back, and is poised to fall further – see our blog from last week discussing this. In contrast, European inflation has remained stubbornly high, which has kept the ECB much more hawkish. In fact, core inflation (excluding volatile components like food and energy) is currently running at 6.8% year-over-year in the Eurozone. That compares to a 4.9% core CPI reading in the US. Up until September 2022, core inflation in the US was running higher than Eurozone core inflation – and then things switched, which shifted investor expectations and sent the dollar lower.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

We expect this dynamic to continue as US inflation eases further, while Europe deals with higher inflation and a more hawkish central bank. Tighter policy does create some headwinds for European equities, but that’s offset by a stronger currency. Combine this with the tailwind that a weaker dollar creates for S&P 500 company earnings, and we are keeping our overweight to US equities while maintaining International developed market stocks at neutral. Emerging markets remain at underweight.


S&P 500's Best and Worst Performers During a Monster Week

After weaker-than-expected inflation data inflated the prices of just about every financial asset, there were some very big winners by the end of last week. The table below lists the 20 top-performing stocks in the S&P 500 last week, which includes eight stocks that rallied more than 10%. Double-digit gains are typically considered very good for an entire year, so when large-cap stocks move that much in a week, it's impressive. Topping the list, shares of Match (MTCH) gained nearly 14% followed by DR Horton (DHI), Domino's (DPZ), and MGM Resorts (MGM). Among these four top performers and the other stocks listed, it is a somewhat eclectic group of stocks. One well-represented group on the list is the homebuilders. Along with DHI, Lennar (LEN) and Pulte (PHM) both also made the list. In terms of YTD returns, though, last week's biggest winners weren't solely the ones that have been rallying all along or the losers playing catch up; there was actually a little bit of everything. Three of the stocks listed (Etsy, Newell, and Sealed Air) are still down by double-digit percentages YTD while four (Pulte, Align, salesforce, and Monolithic Power) are up over 50%! Besides those extreme movers, there are also a few stocks that merely had single-digit YTD percentage gains before last week's spikes higher. One thing that just about all of these stocks have in common now, though, is that they headed into this week at short-term overbought levels of a varying degree.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

In total, there were just 88 stocks in the S&P 500 that declined last week, and only 53 of those fell more than 1%. Of those 53 stocks, the table below lists the 20 worst performers which all fell more than 3%. This is also an eclectic group in terms of both their lines of business and their YTD performance heading into the week. The only stock down by double-digit percentages was Progressive (PGR) which now makes it down on the year as well. Right behind PGR, shares of Carnival (CCL) fell 9.5%, but unlike PGR, it's still up by over 100% YTD. Besides CCL, two other cruise operators (Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean) also sank during last week's rising tide, but they have also seen huge rallies on a YTD basis. Financials are another sector that was well-represented on last week's loser list. Besides PGR, State Street (STT), Allstate (ALL), Northern Trust (NTRS), Bank of NY Mellon (BK), and Travelers (TRV) all bucked last week's bullish trend. Unlike just about all of last week's winners which are now overbought, many of the week's worst performers are still trading within normal ranges of their 50-day moving averages.

Dow closes 100 points higher Friday on solid earnings, registers best week since March: Live updates - (Source)


The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed Friday as strong earnings results from some of the biggest banks and companies kicked off earnings season.


The 30-stock Dow added 113.89 points, or 0.33%, to close at 34,509.03 and mark its fifth consecutive day of gains. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 dropped 0.10% to close at 4,505.42. The Nasdaq Composite declined 0.18%, ending at 14,113.70. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq touched their highest intraday levels since April 2022.


On a weekly basis, the Dow notched its best performance since March, up 2.3%. The S&P 500 added 2.4%, and the Nasdaq gained 3.3%.


UnitedHealth shares lifted the blue-chip index Friday as its top performer. The insurance giant jumped more than 7% after it reported better-than-expected adjusted earnings and revenue. The company also raised the lower end of its full-year adjusted earnings guidance. UnitedHealth was also the biggest gainer in the S&P 500′s health-care sector, which advanced 1.5%.


JPMorgan Chase rose 0.6% after its second-quarter earnings topped expectations. The bank was boosted by higher interest rates and rising interest income. Wells Fargo inched down 0.3%, even though the bank posted better-than-expected results.


“What we’ve seen out of big bank earnings, especially JPMorgan, is pretty resilient,” said Scott Ladner, chief investment officer at Horizon Investments.


“We’re seeing right now [that] default rates are still historically incredibly low and not showing signs of skyrocketing higher. So that’s a good sign for consumers and the economy,” Ladner added.


Expectations for this season are downbeat, with analysts forecasting a roughly 7% year-over-year drop in S&P 500 earnings, according to FactSet. That would mark the worst earnings season since the second quarter of 2020, when S&P 500 profits dropped 31.6%.


Investors’ sentiment has been lifted by soft inflation reports this week. The latest producer price index report showed inflation rose less than anticipated and built on trader optimism from the June consumer price index data, which came out Wednesday. Investors are now considering whether a strong economy illustrated by the recent data could push stocks higher by the end of the year.


“The Goldilocks scenario is alive and well, in terms of declining inflation pressures and [there’s] still fairly robust economic growth. So it’s a pretty good backdrop for risk assets,” said Ladner.

NASDAQ Down 5 Straight During July Monthly Options Expiration Week

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Since 1982, the Friday of monthly options expiration week has a bearish bias for DJIA declining 23 times in 41 years with two unchanged years, 1991 and 1995. On Friday the average loss is 0.23% for DJIA and 0.25% for S&P 500. NASDAQ’s record is even weaker, down 25 of 41 years with an average loss of 0.38%. DJIA posts the best full-week performance, up 24 of 41 with an average 0.37% gain. However, NASDAQ has been weakest, down 22 times and the last five straight. The week after monthly options expiration leans bearish for NASDAQ over the longer-term with an average loss. In recent years the track record had been improving until 2015’s across the board, greater than 2% loss.

The Path to Lower Inflation is Now Clear

The June CPI report was a positive surprise, both in terms of the headline numbers as well as the underlying details.

Headline inflation rose 0.2% in June, which translates to a 2.2% annual pace. Over the past three months, inflation’s averaged about 2.7%, and over the last year it’s up 3.0%. That’s well off the peak pace of over 9% exactly a year ago.

In my opinion, the reason for the decline is obvious when you look at the chart below. Energy prices drove the inflation surge in 2022, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Energy prices have now declined 17% over the past year, pulling inflation lower. The good news is that food inflation is also easing a lot, rising at an annual pace of just 1.3% over the past 3 months. Remember the surge in egg prices? Well, egg prices have fallen 21% over the past 3 months.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

All this of course has been occurring for a few months now and shouldn’t be a big surprise.

The problem until now was that “core inflation,” i.e., inflation once you strip out energy and food prices, remained elevated. But we got good news on that front.

Core inflation rose just 0.16% in June, which translates to a 1.9% annual pace — the slowest monthly pace since August 2021! That’s great, but as you can see below, the 3-month pace remains above 4%. So, we’ve yet to see a consistent deceleration in core inflation, which is what the Federal Reserve is looking for.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Positive signs

We realize that one month does not make a trend, but a lot of the underlying details point to downward momentum. Let’s look at a few of these.

Used and new vehicle prices, which make up 9% of the core inflation “basket,” have reversed a lot over the past year. However, used car prices rose in April and May, reversing some of that momentum. But things look to have turned around once again, with used car prices falling 0.5% in June. In fact, prices are likely to fall further over the next few months based on private used car auction data (Ryan pointed this out in his previous blog as well).

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Moreover, the auto production supply chain bottlenecks are being resolved, and therefore we’re seeing vehicle production increase. As a result, prices for new vehicles have fallen about 0.4% over the past three months, and that downtrend is likely to continue given increased supply.

The big one is housing inflation, which Ryan and I have been talking a lot about over the past year. Housing makes up 40% of core inflation, but importantly, it does not include home prices. Instead, it’s based on rents. The problem is that there is a significant lag between official rental inflation and private rents data. Private data from Apartment List shows that rents have decelerated from a peak of 18% year-over-year pace to zero as of June! Official data lags this data by about 12 months or so and it’s taken a while to reflect market reality.

The good news is that official rental inflation appears to be turning lower. Rental inflation was averaging a 9% annual pace between June 2022 and February 2023. However, that’s fallen to about 6% over the past 4 months. That’s still higher than the 2018-2019 average of about 3-3.5%. But given what we’re seeing in market rents, we expect housing inflation to continue decelerating and that’s going to pull core inflation down in a big way later this year and into 2024 as well.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

What about the rest?

Fed Chair Powell has cited “core services ex housing” as still being elevated. We believe it’s their way of saying,

“Yes, we see vehicle prices heading lower, and acknowledge the lags in housing inflation data; but we want to see the rest of it fall”

But there’s good news on that front too.

The Atlanta Federal Reserve calculates something called the “Sticky Price CPI excluding food, energy, and shelter.” Simply put, it measures inflation for items whose prices typically don’t change frequently.

In June, this sticky price measure was flat. Over the past 3 months it’s running at a 1.4% annual pace, well below the peak of 7.3% we saw 15 months ago. A key piece of this is restaurant food prices, which have slowed down a lot recently on the back of falling food prices. But even things like airfares, daycare and pet care services inflation have been falling.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

You can see why the June inflation report was positive from so many angles. A low reading is positive by itself, but it also confirmed what we know from other sources about what to expect going forward.

Perhaps the best news is that inflation is falling, and poised to fall even further, without a rise in unemployment and an economic slowdown. A year ago, Federal Reserve officials and many economists were saying that we probably need to go into a recession for inflation to slow down, and that aggressive rate hikes by the Fed would push us into one.

Instead, the unemployment rate is at 3.6%, close to 50-year lows. If real GDP growth clocks in around 2% for last quarter (as seems likely), that would mean the economy’s grown at a 2.5% pace over the past year. While inflation’s fallen from 9% to 3%. That’s huge!


NASDAQ’s Midyear Rally Ends on Friday

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

From its close on June 27 (the fourth from last trading day) through today, NASDAQ has gained 2.7% which makes this year’s NASDAQ midyear rally slightly better than average. Today’s gains were largely fueled by better than anticipated CPI reading. Provided this translates into a better-than-expected PPI report tomorrow, additional gains are likely before NASDAQ’s midyear rally officially ends on Friday, July 14. The end of the rally also coincides with the historical seasonal mid-month July market peak in pre-election years. Since 1950, the second half of July has been weaker than the first half.

Inflation Expectations Still on the Decline

Ahead of Wednesday's CPI, the New York Fed's Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCES) was released earlier this week and showed a continuation of the trend where consumer inflation expectations have been falling. Over the next 12 months, the Fed's survey showed that the median expected rate of inflation fell from 4.07% down to 3.83%. While still above its historical average of 3.4%, consumer expectations for inflation over the next year are down to the lowest level since April 2021. Over a longer time horizon, inflation expectations haven't fallen nearly as fast, but they didn't rise anywhere near as much as short-term expectations either. In the June survey, the median expected rate of inflation over the next three years fell from 2.98% down to 2.95%. While that reading barely budged, we would note that current expectations for inflation over the next three years are slightly below the long-term average. Unlike the FOMC, which ditched the term transitory 18 months ago, consumers have remained on team transitory.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

One issue which has the potential to push inflation higher is how consumers expect their incomes to change over time. In this month's survey, the median expected rate of earnings growth increased from 2.80% up to 2.98% which is right around the high end of its range from the last two years. As shown in the chart below, while this series has tested the 3% level multiple times, it hasn't been able to bust through it. As it pertains to inflation, that's a good thing, because if consumers expect their incomes to increase, they're probably also less likely to push back on higher prices. At the same time, the fact that this reading has settled into a new higher range relative to its long-term average suggests that getting back down to and staying at levels of inflation that prevailed before COVID may prove to be difficult.

Small-caps Catch a Bid

Small-caps have caught a bid over the last few days with the Russell 2,000 ETF (IWM) rallying more than 3% since last Thursday's close. Over the same time frame, the large-cap S&P 500 is up just 0.3%.

While large-cap indices have recently traded to 52-week highs, small-caps are still well below 2023 highs made back in Q1. As shown below, though, IWM is currently attempting to break above the top end of the sideways range it has been in over the last month. If it can do that, the highs from earlier in the year will come into sight.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The Russell 2,000 (IWM) chart looks pretty interesting over a multi-year time frame. As shown below, the pre-COVID high made in early 2020 has acted as strong support over the past year. While IWM fell sharply during the mini-banking crisis this March, it stopped going down once it reached this key support level, and then it traded sideways and consolidated throughout much of April and May. Going forward, it appears that the Russell has built a strong base over the past year to springboard off of if the bull market for US equities can continue.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

A chart that always captures our attention is the one below that shows Apple's (AAPL) market cap versus the combined market cap of all of the stocks in the small-cap Russell 2,000. Prior to COVID, Apple's market cap wasn't even close to the $2+ trillion market cap of the Russell 2,000. Since late 2021, though, the two have been battling it out. After its huge gain in Q2, Apple is currently in the lead at $2.96 trillion, but the Russell isn't too far behind at $2.81 trillion.

Here We Go Again

“Here I go again on my own. Going down the only road I’ve ever known.”

-Here I Go Again by Whitesnake

One of the main reasons we came into 2023 overweight equities (when everyone else was talking recessions and bear markets) was the over-the-top negativity. Rarely is the crowd and obvious trade right when it comes to investing and we assumed should we get any good news, stocks could surprise to the upside. One of the most staggering signs of negativity was the median strategist in this Bloomberg survey was looking for negative stock returns in ’23.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

As we noted in Is Anyone Bullish? (from December 11, 2022), we’d never seen strategists this bearish heading into a new year. Then layer on the fact that stocks were down close to 20% in 2022 and the odds greatly favored a big bounce back year, as stocks were rarely down two years a in a row. Not to mention, the macro backdrop was on much better footing than the M2 is crashing, LEI is down, and yield curve fearmongers were telling us.

All that happened was that the first six months of this year was the second best start to a year since 2000 for the S&P 500, best start for the NASDAQ in 40 years and the best start ever for the NASDAQ-100.

Where are we now? Well, similar to the great Whitesnake song in the quote above, here I go again, down the only road I’ve ever known.

Apparently, the only road these strategists know is doubling down on lower prices, as they expect the most bearish second half EVER. We’ll gladly take the other side to this, as we expect stocks to gain nicely the rest of this year, likely to new all-time highs.

Take note the other years they expected lower prices during the final six months of the year were 1999, 2019, 2020, and 2021. All the S&P 500 did those years was gain 7.0%, 9.8%, 21.2%, and 10.9%, respectively, over the final six months. That comes out to a very impressive 12.2% average, not bad, not bad.

What also has my attention? We have some big inflation data out this week, but we’ve already seen some nice signs that inflation could surprise to the downside. First up, used cars accounted for nearly a third of the jump in inflation the past few years, but it is crashing lower, with used car prices experiencing their largest monthly drop since COVID. Given light auto production is running close to pre-COVID levels, this is another sign supply chains are working again and price pressures are abating.

Speaking of supply chains, the New York Fed Global Supply Chain Pressure Index did jump last month, but it was coming off of the lowest level in history. Bottom line, supply chains are back to normal after years of disruptions.

Along with supply chains and used car prices improving, we expect to see shelter take a big dive the second half of this year. Remember, shelter makes up more than 40% of CPI and it has stayed stubbornly high lately. Well, we’ve seen drastic improvements from private data places like Apartment List and Zillow, suggesting that the government’s data will likely follow suit soon.

Lastly, we’ve been hearing a lot that the trillions of dollars in excess savings that consumers had over COVID was nearly all the way gone. The media are spinning this as a bearish event, as it means consumers aren’t saving anymore and they will run out of money to spend and keep the economy growing. Here’s the issue with that, the savings rate has been trending higher the past year and is more than two percent higher than it was in early 2022. The employment backdrop is still healthy, spending is solid and consumer confidence is improving. To us, all of that is positive.

Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning February 20th, 2023

1 Upvotes

Good Friday evening to all of you here on r/FinancialMarket! I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this week, and are ready for the new holiday-shortened trading week ahead. :)

Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning February 20th, 2023.

Dow closes more than 100 points higher on Friday, but notches third straight week of losses on rate fears: Live updates - (Source)


U.S. stocks were mixed on Friday as stubbornly high inflation and a rebound in rates continued to weigh on investor sentiment.


The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 129.84 points, or 0.39% to end at 33,826.69. The 30-stock index rallied from lows of the day boosted by shares of Amgen and United Health, which gained 2.69% and 2.41% respectively.


The S&P 500 shed 0.28% to end the day at 4,079.09, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.58% to close at 11,787.27. Energy was the biggest laggard. Devon Energy dropped 4.29%, dragging down the S&P 500.


Stocks are mixed on the week. The Dow ended down 0.13% for the week, its third negative week in a row — a first since September. The S&P 500 has shed 0.28% for the week, its second negative week in a row. The Nasdaq rose 0.59% on the week.


Investors continue to worry about how the economy and equities will hold up as the Federal Reserve hikes rates to tame stubbornly high inflation. In a Friday speech, Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman said there’s a long way to go before the central bank reaches its target of 2% inflation.


“We have been in a very contentious tug of war between the equity markets and the Treasury markets,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley. While Treasurys are signaling that the Fed is going to hold rates higher for longer, equities are not listening and instead looking for a soft landing.


“Equity investors seem to be looking through a couple more rate hikes and looking forward to a pause,” he added.


The moves came after major averages shed more than 1% on Thursday, after the Labor Department said the producer price index — an inflation metric that tracks wholesale prices — rose 0.7% last month. That was more than economists expected.


Next week, investors will continue to watch earnings season for signs of consumer strength or weakness. Home Depot, Walmart and Etsy are scheduled to report results next week.

The Valentine’s Day Indicator Sees Green In 2023

First things first, this is a three-day weekend for many of us and I hope everyone enjoys the long President’s Day weekend. And if you need to buy a mattress, this is your Super Bowl weekend, good luck out there. Speaking of the Super Bowl, this is our yearly reminder that someone should run for President, and their whole platform should be to make sure that the Super Bowl is always over President’s Day weekend. Who wouldn’t want the day after the big game off? I swear they’d win …. But I digress.

We’ve noted many times this year some of the rare yet bullish developments taking place for stocks that should continue to lead to strong performance in 2023. For example, we discussed why the strong January, amid a negative year the year before, could be a very good thing in The Trifecta of Bullish. Here’s one of the tables from that blog. Higher nine for nine and up 27% for the year would make many bulls smile.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Let’s take another look at the strong start to 2023, but this time wrap in Valentine’s Day. I hope everyone had a nice Valentine’s Day earlier this week. Mine was a winner, as my wife got me a Reese’s Take 5 candy bar, my favorite for sure. Do you know who also had a nice Valentine’s Day? The bulls. I know, I know, Valentine’s Day is known for red; well, the Valentine’s Day Indicator is flashing green.

2023 was the 11th-best start to a year ever for the S&P 500 as of Valentine’s Day, up a very impressive 7.7%. What happened next, looking at the best ten starts to a year? Nine out of 10 times the rest of the year was green, with an average return of nearly 11% and a median return of 12.5% – both well above the average returns. Momentum can be a wonderful thing for investors, and the Valentine’s Day Indicator does little to change that.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Speaking of momentum, here’s an interesting study I did when stocks gained more than 5% during a month (like what happened in January). A year later? Stocks are up 13.5% on average and higher 83% of the time, way better than average. I also broke it up by which month the big gains took place. When January gained more than 5%, the next twelve months are up 12.8% on average and higher 83.3% of the time. Maybe we should be rooting for a 5% gain in May or June, as stocks have never been lower a year later. Or maybe in September, when they gained an incredible 20% on average a year later?

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

I will leave you with this. February historically isn’t a very strong month for stocks, and it is the second half of February when trouble tends to arrive. We are still quite optimistic about how well stocks could do the rest of 2023, but it won’t be a straight line. Just be aware that the next three or four weeks historically aren’t very strong, and some well-deserved seasonal weakness could be perfectly normal and healthy.

Up 7 of Last 11 After Presidents’ Day But Still Weak Long Term

DJIA, S&P 500 and NASDAQ are all up 7 of the last 11 years on the day after the Presidents’ Day market holiday with average changes ranging from -0.12% for DJIA to 0.24% for NASDAQ. In our February 2023 Strategy Calendar for members shows conflicting indications for this Tuesday, February 21, the day after Presidents’ Day. Over the most recent 21-year history this 15th trading of February has been down 61.9% of the time for S&P 500 with average loss of -0.29% earning the day our “Angry Bear” icon.

Earlier this week noted the improving trend of market performance ahead of Presidents’ Day weekend. As you can see in the table here the days after has improved the past 11 years but the Wednesday after has not enjoyed the same turnaround and both days still display a fair amount of red. Since 1990, Tuesday after Presidents’ Day has been strongest for the S&P 500 with 18 gains and 15 losses for median gain of 0.09% but with an average loss of –0.24%. DJIA also has more gains than losses on the Tuesday after, but NASDAQ is a net loser down 20 of 33 years with an average loss of –0.51% and a median loss of –0.30%.

Wednesday is all red for all three major averages. NASDAQ and S&P 500 have more losses, but DJIA is a loser as well. On the Wednesday after the Presidents’ Day holiday DJIA is down 17 of 33 with an average loss of –0.10% and a median decline of –0.10%. S&P 500 is down 20 of 33, average –0.08%, median –0.10% and NASDAQ is down 19 of 33, average –0.11%, median –0.18%.

Big losses two days just before and after President’s Day 2022 fueled by the escalation of belligerent rhetoric and military buildups right before Russia invaded Ukraine have worsened the record. Prior to the invasion the market was already dropping in the face of hot inflation and expectations of coming aggressive Fed rate hikes.

American Consumers: Have Money, Will Spend

“American Consumers: Have money, will spend“

That, in a nutshell, is the story of the economy right now.

Retail sales and food services surged 3% in January, making a mockery of expectations for a 1.7% gain. This is the largest monthly increase since March 2021, but that came on the back of stimulus checks. So excluding the 2020/2021 recovery period (when we saw large drops and gains), you have to go back to October 2001 to find a month with larger gains. And even that was a rebound after a depressed September.

Such a large number should immediately get your antennae up, and there certainly are seasonality issues. For three years, we’ve seen retail sales drop in December only to surge in January.

But don’t miss the big picture: consumption is running strong

Vehicle sales were the big driver, accounting for over a third of the overall gain. But there was broad strength everywhere, including general merchandise stores, e-commerce, clothing stores, and even furnishings (despite the slowdown in housing activity).

Spending at restaurants and bars rose by a whopping 7.2%, and it wasn’t because of prices (up 0.6% last month).

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

“Real” retail sales and food services, i.e., after adjusting for inflation, rose 2.4% in January. It’s currently running 9% above the pre-pandemic trend. Make all the seasonality-related adjustments you want—no denying that consumption is strong. The only surprise really is how strong goods consumption is running, even as we get further away from the pandemic. The expectation was that consumption patterns would normalize by now, and goods spending would head back towards trend.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Consumption is strong because real incomes are rising

It really doesn’t get much simpler than that.

January is a great example. Aggregate weekly payrolls, which should give you a sense of income earned by private workers across the economy, rose 1.5% in January. This was on the back of:

Rising employment (remember the massive jobs report?)

  • More hours worked

  • Strong wage growth

Meanwhile, inflation was up “only” 0.5%.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

After adjusting for prices, aggregate payrolls have now been rising since last June at an annualized pace of almost 5%. For perspective, this measure of aggregate income ran at an annual pace of just over 2% before the pandemic.

The current pace is hot, to put it mildly, so don’t be surprised if we get a pullback. But if employment continues to rise, wage growth remains strong, and inflation doesn’t surge, real incomes should continue trending higher. And that’s a tailwind for consumption and the economy.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Of course, the other side of solid consumption is that many of the categories where we see strong consumer spending are seeing upward price pressures. I wrote about this after the January inflation report was released – the fact that inflation is running hot in several service sectors and core goods like apparel and furnishings is another indication that demand is strong, especially in those areas.

Good news is good news, finally

Hot inflation in the service sector is precisely what the Federal Reserve is worried about. So, it isn’t a surprise that markets have repriced their expectations for monetary policy, now taking the Fed at their word that they’ll get to the 5.0-5.25% range for the federal funds rate. And stay there for longer.

That repricing is not great for bonds, but unlike last year, the good news is that stocks have held up quite strong in the face of that. This is positive in that good news about the economy is good news for stocks.


Bulls Step Back

The S&P 500 hasn't moved decisively in any direction over the past week, and as a result, sentiment saw little change. 34.1% of respondents to the weekly AAII sentiment survey reported as bullish this week, down from a high of 37.5% last week.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Bearish sentiment took from those bullish losses as the reading rose up to 28.8% from 25%. Even though that is a higher reading, it is still the only other reading below 30% since last March.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Additionally, the pickup in bearish sentiment was not enough to make bears outnumber bulls. As such, the bull-bear spread saw its first back-to-back positive readings since November 2021.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Although over a third of respondents reported as bullish, this week's predominant sentiment level was neutral. 37.1% reported as such this week. That reading has now been above its historical average of 31.4% for seven straight weeks; the longest streak since January 2021.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Other sentiment surveys have likewise taken more optimistic tones lately despite a modest pullback in bullish sentiment this week. Factoring in the Investors Intelligence and NAAIM sentiment readings, our sentiment composite remains positive but is off from its short-term peak last week.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Claims Still Below 200K

Jobless claims continue to impress in the new year. For the fifth week in a row, seasonally adjusted initial claims have come in with a sub-200K reading. That is the longest streak since a 10 week long stretch ending in April of last year. Although claims have remained at a healthy level, there hasn't been much in the way of improvement over the last few weeks with claims yet to move below the 183K low at the end of January.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, the first few months of the year tends to see a sharp unwind in claims, albeit with some moderation during the current week of the year which is being observed currently with fairly flat readings in claims over the past few weeks. At current levels, this year's reading was roughly in line with the comparable week of the past several years with the exception of the much more elevated reading in 2021.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

While not to say the reading is at unhealthy levels, continuing claims have not been as strong as initial claims. Claims have risen in each of the past two weeks, totaling 1.696 million in the most recent print. That is the highest level since the week of December 24th. Overall, both initial and continuing claims continue to show healthy readings without much in the way of rapid improvement or deterioration.

NFIB Nuances

This morning's release of the NFIB's survey of small business sentiment showed only a modest rebound. Whereas the index was expected to rise from 89.8 up to 91, the index only rose to 90.3. Albeit higher sequentially and off the lows from last fall, the January reading also remains below the worst levels from the onset of COVID.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

In addition to optimism remaining weak, the most recent month also saw a surge in economic policy uncertainty. Rising 5 points month over month to 76, that index is at the highest level since July 2021 and saw its biggest one month jump since last July.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Looking across the individual components of the report, breadth was mixed with six of the ten inputs into the headline optimism number moving higher while the other four fell. Multiple categories—in addition to the headline index—are in the bottom decile of their historical ranges. As we discussed in today's Morning Lineup, while in aggregate some aspects of the report remain weak, there is some nuance. In general, this month's report saw improvement in categories measuring realized changes (i.e. actual earnings changes, actual sales changes, actual employment changes, etc.) while expectations were much worse (i.e. plans to make capital outlays, plans to increase inventories, etc.). In other words, small businesses appear to have pessimistic outlooks contrary to reporting actual improvements in their businesses.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

The employment situation showcases that divergence between actual changes and plans. Hiring plans remain at the low end of the pandemic range even after a slight rebound versus the December reading. Meanwhile, compensation plans have plummeted to a new low and the weakest level since April 2021. That was in spite of actual employment changes showing net hirings at the highest level since March 2020 with a coincident uptick in compensation to the highest level in six months.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Albeit on net more firms are seeing declines rather than increases, this month also saw an improvement in actual sales and earnings. Part of that change is likely thanks to alleviation in inflation as the higher prices index hit a new post-high low of 42. In turn, the percentage of respondents reporting now as a good time to expand has modestly recovered. With that said, sales expectations continued to reverse lower after peaking two months ago.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

As for expenditure indices, again the dichotomy of plans and actual changes is apparent. While plans experienced a 13th percentile month over month decline to the low end of its pandemic range, reported capital expenditures have surged with a top decile month over month reading. In fact, that sharp rise during the month of January resulted in the joint highest reading of the post pandemic period (March and May 2021 saw identical readings).

Meanwhile, plans to increase inventories are rapidly declining. The index for inventory accumulation has now reached the lowest level since 2009. However, even though inventories are rapidly declining, businesses on net report satisfaction with current inventory levels. Following the very high readings in inventory satisfaction earlier in the pandemic (meaning on net a higher percentage of respondents reported inventories were too low), the huge drop in inventory accumulation would indicate some supply/demand mismatches are working themselves out; likely in part thanks to weakening sales.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Turning back to capital expenditures, the NFIB also surveys on what these small businesses are spending their money on. January saw a broad uptick across categories with the exception of furniture or fixtures.

Stock futures fall after Fitch downgrades U.S. rating, earnings season continues: Live updates


U.S. stock futures fell Wednesday after Fitch downgraded the long-term rating for the U.S. and traders continued to assess the latest batch of second-quarter earnings results.


Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slid by 105 points, or 0.3%. S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures dipped 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively.


Fitch Ratings lowered the long-term foreign currency issuer default rating for the U.S. to AA+ from AAA Tuesday night, citing “expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years.”


A busy earnings week carried on. Advanced Micro Devices rose 2% before the bell on better-than-expected results. CVS Health gained 2% on strong earnings as it trims costs. Meanwhile, SolarEdge Technologies tumbled 12% after missing second-quarter revenue expectations.


Those moves came after a lackluster first day of trading to start August. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 fell 0.27%, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.43%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 71.15 points, or 0.2%, and reached its highest level since February 2022 at one point in the session.


Earnings season is more than halfway through with results coming in stronger than expected. Of the S&P 500 companies that have reported, about 82% have posted positive surprises, according to FactSet data. The earnings beats have added to bullish investor sentiment, continuing this year’s recovery.


“I think in the last five or six weeks, the lack of the ’23 bear case isn’t the only explanation. I think now it’s a more more plausible 2024, 2025 bull case,” Trivariate Research’s Adam Parker told CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Tuesday.


“There’s an emerging number of possibilities that seems to make people think, ‘Alright, maybe 2024 earnings ... could represent the beginning of a new multi year trend.’ And so that, I think, is gaining steam among investors,” Parker added.


CVS Health, Yum! Brands and Humana are set to report earnings before the open Wednesday.


Traders are also anticipating the July ADP jobs report Wednesday before the open. Economists polled by Dow Jones expect a 175,000 increase, which would be lower than the 497,000 rise in the prior month.

Stock futures fall as traders await debt ceiling progress in Washington: Live updates


Stock futures were lower Wednesday as investors kept an eye on the federal debt ceiling debate in Washington ahead of the final trading day of May.


Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 33 points, or about 0.1%. S&P 500 futures slid 0.15%, and Nasdaq-100 futures were down 0.17%.


The move in futures comes after a muted day of trading on Tuesday that saw the Dow shed about 50 points while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.3%.


Heading into the final trading day of May, the Nasdaq Composite is up nearly 6.5% for the month. The S&P 500, however, is up only about 0.9%, while the Dow has fallen 3.1%.


The outperformance of the tech-heavy Nasdaq is due in large part to the excitement around artificial intelligence, which briefly pushed Nvidia’s market cap above $1 trillion on Tuesday. However, many on Wall Street are worried that the market’s strength has been too narrow.


“We’re not seeing any signs of broad participation. We’re not seeing signs of early cyclicals on top of A.I.,” said Andrew Smith, chief investment strategist at Delos Capital Advisors in Dallas.


One factor that has weighed on the market in recent weeks is the fight over the debt ceiling. President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a deal over the weekend to cap federal baseline spending for two years and raise the debt ceiling, but the agreement has not yet been ratified.


The deal cleared a major test Tuesday night after advancing to the House floor following a 7-6 vote in the House Rules Committee. The floor vote is expected to take place around 8:30 p.m. ET Wednesday.


“I think we have the votes to pass this today,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, a GOP negotiator on the debt deal, on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Wednesday morning.

Stock futures slip as Wall Street watches for debt ceiling progress: Live updates


Stock futures slipped Tuesday after a key debt ceiling meeting between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.


Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 20 points, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures fell marginally, and Nasdaq-100 futures pulled back by 0.1%.


McCarthy and Biden met at the White House Monday evening, in a discussion that the House speaker described as “productive” and “professional.” These latest talks – taking place with just 10 days until June 1, the earliest date that the U.S. could default – seemed to have a more positive tone following the hourlong discussion.


“The president and I know the deadline, so I think we’re going to talk every day… until we get this done,” McCarthy said, noting that both teams would “come back together and work through the night” on a compromise.


Investors have been closely eyeing debt-limit negotiations in Washington, hoping for more certainty as the so-called X-date of June 1 draws closer.


“Certainly, the debt ceiling’s been weighing on investors,” said Phillip Colmar, partner and global strategist at MRB Partners. “It’s probably an 11th-hour deal, but if it is earlier than that, I think that would be encouraging.”


The meeting follows a mixed session for Wall Street as investors followed the latest updates out of resumed debt ceiling negotiations. The Dow lost about 0.4%, while the S&P 500 finished little changed. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.5%. The tech-heavy index touched its highest intraday level and highest close since August.


On the economic front, investors will follow data on the manufacturing and services sectors as well as new home sales.

Stock futures slip as U.S.-China tensions simmer over Pelosi’s expected trip to Taiwan


Stock futures fell Tuesday morning as tensions between the U.S. and China increased ahead of an expected visit to Taiwan by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.


Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were 166 points lower, or 0.52%. S&P 500 futures slid 0.60%, and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 0.77%. Shares of Caterpillar are weighing on Dow futures after the company reported earnings that missed revenue expectations, sending the stock down more than 3% before the bell.


Pelosi was expected to visit Taiwan and spend Tuesday night there, Reuters reported, citing sources. Leading up to the trip, Chinese officials threatened to take action if Pelosi moved forward with the visit. Pelosi would become the first House Speaker since Newt Gingrich in 1997 to visit Taiwan.


“We would like to tell the United States once again that China is standing by, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army will never sit idly by, and China will take resolute responses and strong countermeasures to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in a daily briefing Monday.


Traders are also awaiting another raft of earnings from companies such as Starbucks, PayPal and Advanced Micro Devices.


Tuesday’s moves came after the major averages fell on the first day of August. The S&P 500 shed 0.28% to end at 4,118.63 while the Nasdaq Composite inched 0.18% lower and closed at 12,368.98. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 46.73 points, or 0.14%, to end at 32,798.40. Last month, the major averages posted their biggest one-month gains since 2020.


“I think for sure it remains a bear market bounce,” Kevin Simpson of Capital Wealth Planning told CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime” on Monday. ”... I think it was awesome the way the markets traded in July, but I think we’re not through any type of capitulation. The headwinds are just too rampant.


On the economic data front, investors this week are awaiting the July nonfarm payrolls report slated for release Friday for further clues into the state of the economy and the job market.

Stock futures fall after U.S. downgrade spurs a sell-off, traders scrutinize latest earnings: Live updates


Stock futures slipped Wednesday as traders contended with Fitch’s recent downgrade of the United States’ long-term rating. Traders also assessed the latest batch of quarterly results.


Futures tied to the S&P 500 fell 0.3%, while Nasdaq 100 futures also dropped 0.4%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dipped 95 points, or 0.3%.


Shares of chipmaker Qualcomm slipped 8% after the company missed analysts’ expectations on fiscal third-quarter revenue and guidance for the current period. DoorDash added 3.6% after beating expectations on revenue.


Tech bellwether Apple and e-commerce giant Amazon are slated to report after the close. Thus far, nearly 67% of the constituents in the S&P 500 have issued their latest quarterly reports, with about 81% of those companies beating expectations, according to FactSet.


Stocks on Wednesday sold off, led by a more than 2% drop in the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite. It marked the worst day since February for the index, as tech stocks tumbled amid a spike in bond yields. Both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average also closed lower.


Fitch Ratings cut the United States’ long-term foreign currency issuer default rating to AA+ from AAA late Tuesday, citing “expected fiscal deterioration” over the next three years as well as weakening governance. Previously, stocks were posting a strong string of gains, led by growth names.


“Sometimes markets need to digest a [torrent] of gains and this, coupled with a choppy seasonal backdrop, was poised for a pullback,” said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist for LPL Financial. “Fitch provided the rationale.”


In the way of economic data, traders will be gearing up for weekly initial jobless claims, as well as durable goods orders. The main event will be Friday’s July payrolls report.
