The late summer season correction for shares is over as now we have bounced ferociously from backside. That is straightforward to see because the S&P 500 (SPY) retains leaping over technical hurdles just like the 50, 100 and 200 day transferring averages. This inexperienced gentle for shares will keep true so long as we keep away from recession. So diagnosing the well being of the economic system is an important factor that traders can do now. After that’s selecting the right shares & ETFs to outperform. That’s precisely what Steve Reitmeister delivers in his most up-to-date market commentary under.
Shares have properly bounced from latest backside. The important thing ingredient being the reducing of bond charges that was beginning to crush the soul of inventory traders.
Not solely have we discovered backside, however the S&P 500 (SPY) is again above key technical ranges (50/100/200 day transferring averages) that time to extra bullish upside forward. Additionally serving to issues is the optimistic bias for shares in the course of the vacation season…what is usually known as the Santa Claus rally.
Let’s dive in additional to those key dynamics and what it tells us in regards to the investing local weather within the weeks and months forward.
Market Commentary
The bonds charges up > shares down dynamic was the important thing story August by October. Some simply talked about it as a case of fee normalization again to extra typical historic ranges. Whereas others talked about the potential for extra ominous developments like a debt disaster with severely increased charges > recession threat > bear market final result.
For now, that disaster argument is swept beneath the rug with the extra benign fee normalization being the extra seemingly state of affairs. Sadly, a brand new potential boogeyman has additionally crept up within the funding dialog. That being the likelihood that bond charges are coming down due to elevated odds of future recession.
That’s extremely onerous to see from Q3 GDP coming in at a sturdy +4.9% clip. Nonetheless, historical past has many examples of scorching quarters like this being the final gasoline of an increasing economic system earlier than tipping over into recessionary territory.
That is very true in increased inflation environments the place customers are afraid of ready too lengthy on purchases provided that costs might be increased sooner or later. This “pulls ahead” demand to create a stronger GDP studying now…and weaker, generally recessionary readings sooner or later.
Might that be taking place now?
That was the main focus of my final commentary you may learn right here: The Darkish Facet of the Current Inventory Rally.
The principle level is that decrease charges is sweet for the inventory market so long as there isn’t any recession forming. Slowing development can also be wonderful. +4.9% is effectively above pattern and never sustainable. Cooling all the way down to about 2% development could be simply wonderful to ease recessionary pressures and hold the economic system and inventory market rolling merrily ahead.
Nicely the up to date estimate for GDP estimate for This autumn from GDPNow is correct on course at +2.1%. At this stage we’re not even 20% executed with the info that might be a part of the ultimate studying. So loads of time for that to enhance or devolve. Our job is to maintain watching it intently which might be a central a part of my upcoming commentaries.
Lastly, a late notice to share because the market went from inexperienced to pink on statements by Fed Chairman Powell. The headline on CNBC reads “Powell Says Fed isn’t assured it has executed sufficient to carry down inflation”.
I am sorry that may be a foolish excuse for a unload as a result of it echoes 110% of what he mentioned on the 11/1 press convention. There’s nothing new in that take and continues to depart the door open to the Fed elevating charges…or doing nothing at their subsequent assembly.
Curiously the CME’s FedWatch software is now at 14.5% chance of a increase on the subsequent assembly on 12/13 which is down from 24.4% estimate a month in the past. So this isn’t market altering information. Simply a simple excuse to take some latest buying and selling revenue off the desk earlier than the subsequent leg increased.
For now now we have a basic inexperienced gentle and a technical inexperienced gentle (above 50/100/200 day transferring averages) which says a great time to be investing in shares. The important thing, as all the time, is figuring out which shares have the very best probability for future outperformance. That’s what we are going to talk about within the subsequent part…
