The late summer season correction for shares is over as we have now bounced ferociously from backside. That is simple to see because the S&P 500 (SPY) retains leaping over technical hurdles just like the 50, 100 and 200 day shifting averages. This inexperienced mild 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 choosing 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 decreasing 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 shifting averages) that time to extra bullish upside forward. Additionally serving to issues is the constructive bias for shares in the course of the vacation season…what is often referred to as the Santa Claus rally.
Let’s dive in additional to those key dynamics and what it tells us concerning 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 way of October. Some simply talked about it as a case of charge normalization again to extra typical historic ranges. Whereas others talked about the opportunity of extra ominous developments like a debt disaster with severely increased charges > recession threat > bear market consequence.
For now, that disaster argument is swept below the rug with the extra benign charge 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 chance that bond charges are coming down due to elevated odds of future recession.
That’s extremely exhausting to see from Q3 GDP coming in at a strong +4.9% clip. Nonetheless, historical past has many examples of scorching quarters like this being the final fuel of an increasing economic system earlier than tipping over into recessionary territory.
That is very true in increased inflation environments the place shoppers are afraid of ready too lengthy on purchases on condition 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’ll be able to learn right here: The Darkish Facet of the Current Inventory Rally.
The primary level is that decrease charges is sweet for the inventory market so long as there isn’t a recession forming. Slowing development can be high-quality. +4.9% is nicely above development and never sustainable. Cooling right down to about 2% development could be simply high-quality to ease recessionary pressures and preserve the economic system and inventory market rolling merrily ahead.
Effectively the up to date estimate for GDP estimate for This fall from GDPNow is correct on the right track at +2.1%. At this stage we’re not even 20% carried out with the information 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 carefully which might be a central a part of my upcoming commentaries.
Lastly, a late be aware to share because the market went from inexperienced to crimson on statements by Fed Chairman Powell. The headline on CNBC reads “Powell Says Fed isn’t assured it has carried out sufficient to convey down inflation”.
I am sorry that could 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.
Apparently the CME’s FedWatch instrument is now at 14.5% probability 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 straightforward excuse to take some latest buying and selling revenue off the desk earlier than the subsequent leg increased.
For now we have now a elementary inexperienced mild and a technical inexperienced mild (above 50/100/200 day shifting 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 most effective probability for future outperformance. That’s what we’ll talk about within the subsequent part…
