cc may contain inaccuracies and lets get your analysis then of how the market responded to that positive data on retail sales yesterday from the united states because there was a period where good news was bad news because it instantly made people think well what is the fed going to do the good news means the fed is going to hike for longer yesterday looked different what do we make of that yeah it was very much a good news is good news for stocks that took a while for stocks to get there but thats been kind of the story of the last couple of weeks weve seen rates seen go significantly higher since that nonfarm payrolls report almost two weeks ago and a bunch of other good data and overall stocks have held up near the kind of highs the last few months i think this makes sense i do quibble with the valuations of stocks into the last two experience i thought the january rally was just mad us stocks were kind of very expensive and were kind of seemed to be delusional trading this immaculate disinflation soft landing scenario but since then good data should be good for stocks what this data is showing is hey fed policy is not yet restrictive enough to slow down the economy sufficiently and therefore that should be a positive for stocks so just to reiterate the initial starting point valuation is wrong not the price reaction recently ok hang on a second does that mean youre coming around to the idea of there being a soft landing or no landing mark i absolutely do not believe in a soft landing so i think to be very clear im still absolutely in the camp that we do know dont control the inflation problem without a severe recession a severe curbing of good growth i think all historical precedent and all practical economic theory says that is the way you control an inflation problem once it gets out of control now as ive always said im in the camp that ultimately i think the fed will stick to their mandate and will hike enough to cause that hard landing when that happens i dont know my scenario of the last year or so is that the economy will be more resilient than people think hence well get more rate hikes the fed will go further than people are pricing and that the crash ultimately be quite hard and i thought the economy go into recession later a year ago i picked 12 months time that was last june so i picked this june coming in that now looks like itll be even lazier when the recession comes we are now talking about no landing but thats no landing in 2023 as in the recession wont start this year its not that were never going to have a recession comes the more rates go higher the heart of the landing will ultimately come and the more painful it will be in terms of timing that policy line okay okay so recession delayed in the meantime then risk assets can rally as weve seen and bitcoin definitely amongst them so risk assets risk risk assets can generally do well and as you know for the past number of months if you exclude us stocks ive been generally quite bullish stocks around the world hong kong as a perfect example em stocks i very much believe in the bullish for uk stocks all these are very good fundamental stories you know if theyve had a very good run us stocks there are still expensive so i expect them to continue underperform in the rest of the world equities as we rally as for crypto its had a wonderful two days i never have a clue whats gone on that asset class the | 0 |

the stock market broke a historic twoday rally on wednesday as analysts warned its still too early to celebrate given a rash of looming risks—including incoming corporate reports that are likely to show just how badly deteriorating economic conditions are affecting company earnings the dow jones industrial average fell nearly 200 points or 06 to 30125 by 1230 pm et paring a massive twoday gain of nearly 6 while the sp 500 and techheavy nasdaq slumped 09 and 13 respectively the primary question on many investors minds has once again shifted to when the federal reserve pivots—not if morgan stanley strategist michael wilson wrote in a note saying the economy has entered a danger zone in which fed policy has become restrictive enough that financial and economic stress is bound to occur wilson says its only a matter of time before a fast and furious market event convinces the fed to back off on interest rate hikes which help tame inflation by undercutting demand but he cautions no one yet knows what type of event that will be once the fed reverses course stocks and other risk assets like cryptocurrencies should rally again but wilson says its a bad idea to assume the gains will be longlived because a slew of emerging risks—including economic weakness in europe the dollars strength and china reopening uncertainty—will likely hamper company earnings in the next two quarters in a wednesday note wedbush analyst dan ives wrote that earnings over the next month will be crucial for technology giants in particular—either exposing the negative fundamentals and causing massive earnings cuts into next year or instead proving that many pockets of tech are holding up well despite the deteriorating economic conditions morgan stanley projects the sp will ultimately hit a bearmarket low of between 3000 and 3400 points—suggesting the index which is already down 215 this year could still plummet another 10 to 20 it takes a long time for earnings forecasts to fall for the sp 500 because its a very high quality diversified index and companies are loath to throw in the towel on the future quarters until they have to says wilson this is one of the most difficult macro forecasting environments most companies have ever encountered it appears that more companies are reaching that point where they cant fight it anymore prolonged inflation has forced the fed to hike interest rates more aggressively than previously expected this year and stocks have suffered as a result despite rallying 5 this week as cooling labor market data suggested the economy may finally be slowing down enough to help inflation fall some experts arent so sure the fed has reason enough to act less hawkishly the economy is too strong for the fed to pivot oanda analyst edward moya said in a wednesday note pointing out that privatesector job data from payroll processor adp showed there were a betterthanexpected 208000 new jobs added last month what we dont know the fed is expected to raise rates by another 125 basis points this year but thats largely contingent on how incoming economic data measures up investors are hoping for worsethanexpected jobs data on friday or betterthanexpected inflation data later this month to help justify smaller hikes what to watch for thirdquarter earnings season kicks off next week with bigbank earnings from citigroup jpmorgan and morgan stanley all slated for friday october 14 | 0 |

the federal reserve has gone back to pulling money out of the financial system rather than adding it that is both a positive signal and a challenge for the stock market a look at how the fed controls the amount of money sloshing around in the market makes it easier to understand what is happening when the fed wants to juice economic growth as it did after the economy was locked down in response to covid19 it can effectively print money to buy assets such as treasury and mortgage bonds | 0 |
the thirdquarter earnings season that’s currently winding down has seen sp 500 companies generate overall pershare earnings growth of more than 27 and sales growth of more than 15 numbers that suggest a robust recovery from 2020’s pandemic lows but the high growth rates coming off what was for many companies a very low base are masking underlying problems that do not bode well for the future an analysis of the underlying strength of companies in one economically sensitive sector that of travel and leisure highlights the trend that sector which borrowed heavily to survive during the worst of the pandemic was expected to enjoy a steep increase in demand for flights and hotel rooms in the summer as the vaccine program was kicking off in the spring but that expectation was dashed by the highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus that has pushed cases hospitalizations and deaths back to levels seen in winter and discouraged people from leaving home “the largest travel and leisure public companies are still on a knife’s edge” said james gellert ceo of rapidratings a company that assesses the finances of private and public companies “for these companies much of the pain has lasted over a year now driven largely by empty properties unsold tickets continued confusion around lockdowns and quarantine policies and an optimism that has yet to fully meet reality” it’s not just the travel sector that is feeling the pain many industries are struggling with inflationary pressures supplychain hassles border closures and quarantine measures including autos and retail both of which saw high changes in cash to current liabilities from 2019 to end2020 “people need to monitor all industries and companies within them carefully to observe whether the “new” liquidity gained over the past 45 quarters can sustain companies or just prop them up for a while longer” said gellert see now hopes for a businesstravel boost are dwindling for us airlines as september bump fails to materialize rapidratings analyzes a company’s financials and assigns it a financialhealth rating or fhr and core health score or chs the former is a measure of shortterm probability of default and the latter evaluates efficiencies in a business over a two to threeyear perspective both produce a number on a scale of 1 to 100 that is grouped in categories based on risk as a means to help a potential business partner vendor or counterparty determine how a company will perform over time only financial data is analyzed and not share price or other market data that would include investor sentiment as the chart below illustrates a sample of companies in the travel and leisure sector had mostly strong fhrs at the end of 2019 before the start of the outbreak southwest airlines co luv led the pack with an fhr of 91 but that has fallen sharply to 48 at the end of the second quarter placing it in rapidratings’ “mediumrisk” category similarly delta air lines inc’s dal fhr has tumbled from 87 at the end of 2019 to 25 at the end of the second quarter putting it firmly in the “highrisk “category online travel site booking holdings inc bkng fhr has fallen to 53 from 86 las vegas sands corp lvs has fallen to 24 at the end of the second quarter from 86 at the end of 2019 core health scores have fared no better southwest’s has fallen to 18 from 84 putting in the “very poor” category delta’s from 86 to 23 the “poor” category booking’s from 81 to 31 and las vegas sands to 20 from 83 all low scores that imply high risk over the medium to long term only marriott international inc mar has been spared a poor core health score falling to 53 from 78 at the end of 2019 to remain in radpiratings’ “medium” category “while the holiday season might give many of these companies a revenue boost the hangover will be even more unpleasant come next year if the raw fundamentals don’t show signs of improvement beyond the next quarter” said gellert the deteriorating numbers come after companies in the public and private sectors were forced to borrow more extend maturities and do whatever was needed to gain shortterm liquidity at the height of lockdowns and restrictions on movement in 2020 the airline sector hammered when travel ground to a halt last spring begged for a government bailout to boost liquidity that came with onerous terms some airlines issued bonds backed by their own loyalty programs as grounded flights caused them to burn through cash the cruise sector was further hampered when the centers or disease control and prevention mandated shutdowns for more than a year and as companies fought with the state of florida over their policies to require covid19 vaccinations for their crew and passengers carnival corp ccl which had the lowest fhr score among the sample companies has said that by the end of 2021 nearly 22 months after the covid19 breakout was declared a pandemic it’s goal was to have 65 of its global cruise capacity operating at bookingcom survival meant a host of actions from raising 41 billion in fresh debt negotiating amendments to its revolving credit facility restructuring activities participating in government aid programs including wage support programs suspending share buybacks and nonessential travel reducing marketing spend and selling investments according to its 2020 annual report published in february “cheap and easy access to capital provided an incredible bandaid to companies strong and weak” said gellert “the big question is whether these companies can improve from pandemic trauma with this cash or whether it will run out prior to their return to health and when they need to pay the piper for the increased borrowing and future debt maturities that they may or may not be able to satisfy” one factor that is making a difference is how much cash companies raised in 2020 that is now helping to see them through the current hardship for example delta and carnival both raised cash even as they added leverage and that’s now giving them more resilience than las vegas sands all three have suffered steep declines in revenue decreasing profitability or a swing to losses and higher leverage but las vegas sands saw the biggest drop in fhr “in part because contrasted with the others the increase in debt was not accompanied by the resilience created from more liquidity the other two have bought time with their cash” said gellert for investors the market performance of many travelrelated stocks looks highly disconnected from the rapidratings data many have more than doubled from their pandemic lows even as fundamentals show the companies are struggling delta shares for example have rocketed about 125 off their postpandemic closing low of 1919 on may 15 2020 deutsche bank analyst michael linenberg recently launched a “catalyst call buy” on the stock in anticipation of increased travel demand saying delta was one of the “highest quality names in the sector” see also more than a quarter of nasdaq100 stocks are in bear markets wall street sees a buying opportunity but so far investor confidence seems to be based on what they believe will happen rather than what the reality of the air carrier’s quarterly results and balance sheet have shown delta reported a return to a net profit in the second quarter of 652 million the first since the prepandemic fourth quarter of 2019 but the profit resulted from the inclusion of 15 billion in benefits related to government payroll support programs excluding that benefit delta actually recorded an adjusted net loss of 678 million the total adjusted net loss for the first half of 2021 was 294 billion not much better than the 314 billion loss suffered in the first half of 2020 while payments on debt and finance lease obligations during those periods have swelled more than 80 to 31 billion and yet the stock has more than doubled even though the ratio of debt to assets has soared to the highest levels seen since before delta last emerged from bankruptcy in april 2007 as the chart below shows the stock price and the debttoasset ratio tend to move in opposite directions | 0 |

what’s up with the neckbreaking roller coaster in stocks last tuesday stocks broke a monthlong bearish streak and launched into a rebound over a week the sp 500 soared 51 the techheavy nasdaq jumped 63 and the dow was up 39 but then this tuesday the stock market carriage tilted at a 90degree angle and hurtled downhill again—wiping out 15 trillion in a single day what’s sending stocks through these steep slopes short answer inflation or expectations around it one indication is that the relief rally perfectly coincided with the lead up to august’s cpi release which came out this past tuesday and before it economists were dead convinced inflation would slow if for no other reason than falling gas prices but it wasn’t just the august cpi over the past few weeks there were a few seismic macro developments giving hope that the worst inflationary fears for the winter may not materialize or materialize to a lesser extent than feared for starters the west’s military support for ukraine is starting to bear fruit in the past week ukrainian forces have mounted a history bookworthy counteroffensive freeing 2400 sq miles of land reclaiming control over kharkiv its secondlargest city and pushing russian troops past the war’s principal frontline ukraine’s advances offer hope that russia will be pushed into some kind of resolution for their part europe’s major economies have signed off on an unprecedented 375 billion in fiscal spending to freeze energy prices germany unveiled a 65 billion package 315 billion in us economy terms and the uk pledged to spend a mindboggling 150 billion in the next 18 months equivalent of 1 trillion in the us economy a fiscal spending approach to this energy crisis is good news for stocks because it won’t be consumers or businesses who bear most of the cost of exploding energy prices it will be governments of course these billions of euros aren’t a free lunch they are a huge addition to deficits and come hot on the heels of covid spending which raises the question of unsustainable federal debt but hey that’s a problem for another day that said the august cpi came out on tuesday and drowned out all this positive news contrary to the projected fall inflation in fact rose 01 month over month despite a drop in gas prices and we are back at it again still hard to tell where the stock market will steer for the end of the year on one hand you’ve got extremely bearish sentiment and defensive positioning for example one of the most followed sentiment indicators bofa’s bull and bear index is at absolute zero that is you can’t get lower than that the paranoia is evident in massive outflows from stocks in the week of sep 7 investors pulled 108 billion from us stocks according to bofa data that’s the biggest exodus in 12 weeks not only that stocks haven’t seen any flows net over the past half year such a defensive positioning is one of the key contrarian signals bofa and jpmorgan strategists are banking on as bofa wittily titled its july global fund manager survey “i’m so bearish i’m bullish” on the other hand with the ukraine war still not resolved and the cold season kicking in theres a real risk the historic energy crunch will spark a devastating recession in europe which will spill over globally in that scenario brace for an onslaught of downward earnings revisions and a fat “i told you so” from morgan stanley’s bears stay ahead of the market trends with meanwhile in markets every day i put out a story that explains what’s driving the markets subscribe here to get my analysis and stock picks in your inbox | 0 |

confidence has fallen in november after rising for the previous three months the sp corelogic case shiller fell a further 08 in september marking three consecutive months of falls in the national average house price it’s the latest in a string of negative economic data but it’s not all bad news with data such as consumer spending and the unemployment rate holding up surprisingly well right now the economy feels a bit like that looping gif of the truck that’s about to hit a post but never does we’ve been hearing chatter about a potential recession for what feels like a year now with multiple ceos and politicians calling it out in regards to the executives their actions have matched their words with thousands of layoffs being implemented particularly across the tech sector the stock market has also followed suit with some massive falls in stock prices across the board and very few market sectors able to hold their value in terms of the raw economic data the turnaround has been much slower the national bureau of economic research has been reluctant to call the start of an official recession even despite the traditional definition of two consecutive quarters of economic growth being met earlier this year the main reasoning for this has been the fact that a reasonable amount of the economic data coming out has been surprisingly positive the labor market has remained resilient and consumer spending has been steady not to mention a housing market that has continued to see the average price of homes increase despite a rapid slowdown in transaction numbers it appears that these rays of light may be starting to flicker the latest data from the sp corelogic case shiller national home price index has been released showing that home values in the us fell 08 in september over the previous month it continues a downward trend that has been in play since the market’s peak in june with prices now falling for three consecutive months considering how much interest rates have increased this year it’s really not too surprising while the overall housing price index is similar to the level it was in march this year continued rate hikes from the fed has meant that wouldbe home buyers are spending a lot more each month on those properties so far this year the fed has implemented four major interest rate increases of 075 percentage points this would be a big hike even just once but to make this jump four times in a row is a serious policy shift from the decade of record low interest rates of course this is all in a bid to bring down inflation which has also hit levels we’ve not seen in a generation the policy has seen the average 30 year fixed mortgage in the united states reach above 7 from levels of around 3 in late 2021 it means an increase in mortgage payments of hundreds of dollars a month even for those with relatively modest loans it’s an increased cost that many can’t afford to take particularly with the cost of living increasing so much across every other sector of the economy it means that fewer homeowners are looking to move with the prospect of a massive increase in their monthly outgoings forcing them to stay in their current mortgage and home after falling consistently each month for the first half of 2022 consumer confidence started to climb back up from its low in june it increased month on month from an index low of 50 in june up to 599 in october according to the university of michigan consumer sentiment data for november that number has fallen back down to 568 while the index had been increasing steadily up until november it’s important to keep the figures in context consumer confidence is still much lower than the peak over the last few years with the index breaching 100 back at the beginning of 2020 prior to covid as well as the university of michigan figures the conference board’s consumer confidence index was also released on tuesday and it painted a similar picture a recession looks inevitable but we’ve been hearing that for some time so economic growth is low consumer confidence is on its way back down the stock market has crashed crypto winter has well and truly arrived and even the housing market is starting to slow despite all of this consumer spending continues to rise growing by 06 in august and september this will itwon’t it recession tease is actually exactly what the fed and chairman jerome powell are aiming for with inflation at record high levels off the back of the supply chain disruptions of covid they’ve been left with no choice but to act decisively to try to bring it down the problem with raising interest rates to bring down inflation is that it brings down economic growth with it that’s not the end of the world if economic growth is already high which it usually is when inflation is rising this time though things are a bit different economic growth has been all over the place with artificially high numbers last year coming off the low base which was created by the covid lockdowns so with an interest rate policy that is designed to slow economic growth from already low levels the fed is actively pushing us towards a recession in their stated opinion it’s a price worth paying to get inflation under control what they’re hoping to achieve is to do this while causing a ‘soft landing’ of the economy rather than a major crash they could probably get inflation down in one fell swoop if they just raised rates to 10 but that would cause a major economic meltdown bankrupt businesses and cause millions of people to lose their jobs by spreading the hikes over a longer period of time it means that the economy can sputter along with some good news and some bad news the reality is whether we enter a formal recession or not doesn’t make too much difference it’s not like there are businesses waiting to see what the national bureau of economic research announces before they decide whether to give everyone a pay rise or lay them off companies are looking ahead at the projected economic data and making their decisions based on how it might impact their business the difference in economic growth between 01 or 02 is unlikely to dramatically change their plans what can investors do in the current economy with the stock market deep in the red and the prospects for the economy not looking great what are investors to do cash still doesn’t offer much in the way of a return and with inflation still high it’s real value continues to decrease every year well one strategy is to look to invest into assets that tend to hold their value during a recession that might mean your investment holds up better but it could still stay flat or fall to really seek outperformance and strong results you’ve got to get a little more sophisticated at qai we use the power of ai to implement sophisticated trading strategies usually reserved for high net worth investment banking clients a perfect example of this is our large cap kit during periods of low or negative growth big companies tend to perform better than small and midsized ones they’re usually more mature businesses with greater diversification in their revenue and less reliance on new customers to generate profits they also tend to have more cash reserves in the bank allowing them to get through periods of economic instability to take advantage of this our large cap kit takes a long position in the 1000 largest companies in the us while at the same time taking a short position in the next 2000 it means that investors can profit off the relative change between the two because of the way it’s structured you can profit even if the overall market is flat or down as long as large companies hold up better than smaller ones it’s like having a personal hedge fund

us stocks just cemented their worst start to a year in more than half a century but as the slowdown in the us economy becomes increasingly difficult to ignore the market for highyield corporate bonds often referred to as “junk bonds” a wall street sobriquet for the debt of companies with lessthanstellar credit ratings is flashing a warning as of the close of markets on thursday the spread on the bloomberg highyield corporate bond index a measure of the risk premium being demanded by investors holding the bonds included in the index had reached its widest level since july 2020 to be included in the index companies must have a credit rating of “bb” or below from moody’s investors service or sp global ratings even credits belonging to oil and gas companies which have long made up a sizable chunk of the index recently they comprised about 15 have been battered since the start of the year due to the federal reserve’s decision to raise its target for the fedfunds rate by 15 percentage points since it kicked off its ratehiking cycle in march while these credits have outperformed many of their peers from other sectors due to the surge in oil and gas prices the surge in borrowing costs has still weighed on prices ironically the reason why highyield bonds have sold off in recent days is the same reason why government bonds like us treasuries have rallied escalating recession fears are prompting investors to dump risky assets like junk debt and stocks in favor of “safe haven” assets like the us dollar and government bonds “highyield credit spreads are moving wider largely because the market has begun to fear that high inflation will force the fed to tighten monetary policy even more aggressively pushing the economy into a recession” said gennadiy goldberg a senior us rates strategist at td securities “it’s the same reason that treasury yields have declined in recent days as markets have begun to fear that very hawkish fed rhetoric will indeed get inflation under control but at the expense of economic growth” goldberg added on thursday investors were confronted with more signs of a slowing economy a reading on consumer spending came in below economists’ expectations while the federal reserve bank of atlanta’s latest estimate for secondquarter gdp growth came in at minus1 if that estimate proves correct then it would mean the us economy has already descended into a technical recession which is defined as two consecutive quarters of economic contraction there’s a good reason why investors should be paying attention to highyield credits now highyield credit spreads are considered by market specialists to be a leading indicator for the economy since investors in these credits are especially sensitive to anything that could impair companies’ ability to repay their debts highyield bond etfs have already seen their biggest outflows for the first half of a year on record marketwatch previously reported bond yields move inversely to prices rising as prices fall “when you look at highyield credit spreads they do tend to be a leading indicator especially of how investors are perceiving the economy investors are demanding a lot more yield a lot more compensation to invest in these bonds given the risks that are rising there’s less faith today in the ability of these companies to remain current on their debt payments than there was just a few months ago” said collin martin a fixedincome strategist at the schwab center for financial research another problem with rising yields is that they tend to be selfreinforcing rising yields increase the cost of refinancing a company’s debt depriving companies of capital during difficult economic times when they need it the most as charlie bilello founder and ceo of compound capital advisors pointed out in a tweet highyield credit spreads topped 10 percentage points during each of the past three recessions and rising credit spreads are also a problem for the underlying us economy since this class of corporate borrowers employs millions of americans ceos and cfos typically respond to higher borrowing costs and other indications of a looming recession by laying off workers and delaying investments “if you’re a ceo or cfo you’re looking forward to what your corporate profit outlook looks like you’re seeing input costs rise you’re seeing labor costs rise and you’re seeing borrowing costs rise and given market expectations for slower growth you’re probably seeing demand for your product decline so what do you do to successfully run your business you don’t spend more on capex you don’t go hiring more employees because you know your profits might stay flat or even shrink” martin said “it’s a pretty negative outlook right now” the rise in spreads has yet to translate to higher defaults but that could soon change both moody’s and sp the two leading providers of credit ratings for corporations and governments expect the default rate for highyield borrowers to climb to 3 or more over the next 12 months according to their projections and with the fed expected to raise its fedfunds rate target by another 150 basis points or more before the end of the year while continuing to shrink its balance sheet companies will quickly find their borrowing costs rising dramatically even doubling within a year with inflation labor costs and the cost of debt service all rising management will likely be forced to countenance cutbacks like job cuts indeed job cuts are part of the federal reserve’s plans for reining in inflation since the central bank believes that a higher unemployment rate is necessary to combat inflation as martin pointed out higher borrowing costs won’t affect most “junk” borrowers until they need to refinance but borrowers who rely heavily on floatingrate products like leveraged loans could see the shock of higher borrowing costs hit more quickly many corporations rely on both junk bonds and leveraged loans and higher rates on these products could quickly have spillover effects for the stock market and the overall economy miller said | 0 |

associated with healthy labor market churn but healthy churn unfortunately is not the likely culprit as rise probably reflects surging infections of the omicron covid variant rather than increased willingness on the part of employers to hand out pink slips amid the ongoing worker drought we expect some noise in the data owing to a surge in virus cases which may push up claims temporarily says

good day a major policy error may be in the works as the federal reserve prepares to raise interest rates with consumer confidence in sharp decline observes joe lavorgna chief economist for the americas at natixis in new york consumer confidence in the past 40 years has never been as depressed as it is now before a looming rate hike lavorgna says a sharp slowdown is in the offing because last years econmic boom was largely due to fiscal stimulus he says unlike the time prior to past rate hikes consumer confidence is on the wane instead of rising in fact the fed has never increased rates with confidence so low lavorngna said in a note in march 1983 when the fed nudged the federal funds rate higher the university of michigans consumer sentiment index was at 808 had risen 15 points from seven months earlier he said in january 1987 a rate liftoff began with the sentiment index at 904 after cutting rates following the stock market crash in october 1987 the fed raised rates in march 1988 with confidence at 946 and it was about the same in 1994 when rates were hiked and confidence was 932 lavorgna said confidence was 1073 when a hiking cycle began in june 1999 and at the beginning of the last two hiking cycles in june 2004 and december 2015 the index was at 956 and 926 respectfully the average starting value for consumer confidence over the past eight cycles was 943 with the trend moving higher the final december reading was 706 todays low and falling level of confidence hints of a policy error if the fed acts so soon lavorgna warned us stock index futures are higher early on thursday with the sp 500 eminis up about 03 after the latest batch of economic data including a report showing us producer price inflation slowed in december it showed other hopeful signs that inflation has probably peaked read more equity investors have been concerned about inflation with minutes from the federal reserves december meeting released last week signaling the central bank may have to raise rates sooner than some had expected to curb inflation the morning data also included a labor department report showing that the number of americans filing new claims for

citizen in el salvador pre chivo only 12 million people had bank accounts now 3 million out of 4 million eligible people in el salvador have banking services” calacanis followed up “most tech doesn’t last more than a decade why would bitcoin last any longer than that” wood answered “this is the most secure blockchain technology out there what’s going on right now would have been nobel prize winning economist robert mundell’s dream to introduce a global monetary system not under anyone’s control” wood explained that she studied under supply side guru arthur laffer – an economist famous for the laffer curve—who was influenced by mundell she elaborated “look at turkey the turkish people have lost half their purchasing power since february wouldn’t it be nice to have a little bitcoin” the topic turned to china and the moves the chinese government has made thisck year regarding digital assets—banning cryptocurrency exchanges and outlawing the mining of cryptocurrency wood said her firm had owned shares of chinese ecommerce giant alibaba but had sold them along with other chinese stocks “we own very very few stocks there in china because they’re unpredictable they are grappling with what most governments are grappling with the gap between rich and poor” wood added that 75 of consumer savings in china is held in real estate and real estate values are starting to fall her analysis that the chinese government is willing to risk the decline in real estate values in order to address the wealth gap calacanis put it this way “i think the mad king is circling his wagons because he feels threatened i’m talking about xi jinping” wood’s response “i think it’s to the benefit of the us if china isolates itself they are less likely to become the global superpower” what wood is buying now wood said ark has been buying robinhood–a stock that has fallen nearly 40 since its ipo in july—but didn’t elaborate on why also “we’re looking for the digital wallet coinbase square’s cashapp paypal’s venmo less so” she said “most analysts are focused on banks which we think are being hollowed out … by defi and digital wallets” so she’s staying away from traditional banks two other stocks she’s buying video communications tool zoom and cloud communications company twilio both part of a new wave of telecom tools “what i don’t think people recognize is that we have not had a refresh cycle in telecom in 30 years she explained “i’m thinking about cisco and the old telecom stack” covid she said has inspired a new crop of options calacanis asked about electric automakers possibly rivian though he didn’t specify saying “speaking of fraud should a company that’s sold zero cars be worth 150 billion” wood’s answer “investing is about the future it’s not fraud it’s perhaps misvaluation i don’t call that fraud at all” regarding the crop of publiclytraded electric automakers with little to no revenues wood said “we called out nikola we knew what he former chairman trevor milton was saying was wrong we knew that there was trouble” in july milton was charged with securities fraud by the us attorney’s office in manhattan he pleaded not guilty wood also mentioned rivian and lucid saying ark doesn’t own either stock why “they are going after niche markets” she said ark has spoken to both companies about autonomous driving which they’re not focused on wood’s take without autonomous drivers neither can scale—though rivian may be helped by its ties to amazon which owns a chunk of the company and has pledged to switch to electric delivery vehicles her bearish take isn’t exactly surprising given the big bet she’s made on those companies’ biggest competitor wood pointed out that ark discloses its holdings at the end of each day and has done so since 2014 its single largest holding by far tesla where ark is sitting on a 24 billion stake | 0 |

something big shifted in the market following thursday’s us consumerprice index report according to george saravelos global head of currency research at deutsche bank based on moves in us stocks spx and the us dollar eurusd which finally achieved parity with the euro on thursday saravelos said in a note to clients on thursday that markets are now pricing in 100 odds that the us economy will slide into a recession before the end of the year using the peak in the fed funds futures curve as a proxy for recession expectations saravelos pointed out that the market’s views on the timing of the start of the next recession have shifted substantially since february when investors were bracing for a recession to arrive in december 2024 as of thursday this had shifted to january 2023 according to saravelos this shift is an indication that recession risk has supplanted inflation as the most important factor driving markets given this there are a few factors investors should keep in mind be wary of the labor market weakening demand coupled with robust labor markets is a recipe for collapsing productivity and profit margins saravelos said this could be especially negative for risk assets but a turn in the labor market will be needed before the federal reserve and other global central banks can start the transition back to cutting interest rates keep an eye out for bubbles the longer central banks maintain tight monetary policy the greater the risk of leverage unwinds scandinavia is particularly exposed to leverage saravelos said beware history the market is pricing the start of an aggressive easing cycle from the fed next year which makes sense given that over the last three decades central banks pivoted as soon as economic growth started to slow however it has been a long time since there’s been an inflation problem saravelos notes that during the 1970s when inflation persisted for roughly a decade the us pricetoearnings ratio declined from 20 to 7 as of thursday the forward pricetoearnings ratio for the sp 500 stood at roughly 1601 according to factset data fed funds futures are anticipating the first fed rate cut to arrive next summer of course so long as inflation persists the fed will likely keep monetary policy tight unless a dramatic economic slowdown forces the central bank to capitulate | 0 |

the past week offered a tale of two markets with gains for the dow jones industrial average putting the bluechip gauge on track for its best october on record while big tech heavyweights suffered a shellacking that had market veterans recalling the dotcom bust in the early 2000s “you have a tug of war” said dan suzuki deputy chief investment officer at richard bernstein advisors llc rba in a phone interview for the technology sector particularly the megacap names earnings were a major drag on performance for everything else the market was shortterm oversold at the same time optimism was building over expectations the federal reserve and other major global central banks will be less aggressive in tightening monetary policy in the future he said read market expectations start to shift in direction of slower pace of rate hikes by fed what’s telling is that the interestrate sensitive tech sector would usually be expected to benefit from a moderation of expectations for tighter monetary policy said suzuki who contends that tech stocks are likely in for a long period of underperformance versus their peers after leading the market higher over the last 12 years a performance capped by soaring gains following the onset of covid19 pandemic in 2020 rba has been arguing that there was “a major bubble within major portions of the equity market for over a year now” suzuki said “we think this is the process of the bubble deflating and we think there’s probably further to go” the dow djia surged nearly 830 points or 26 on friday to end at a twomonth high and log a weekly gain of more than 5 the bluechip gauge’s october gain was 144 through friday which would mark its strongest monthly gain since january 1976 and its biggest october rise on record if it holds through monday’s close according to dow jones market data while it was a tough week for many of big tech’s biggest beasts the techheavy nasdaq composite comp and techrelated sectors bounced sharply on friday the techheavy nasdaq swung to a weekly gain of more than 2 while the sp 500 spx rose nearly 4 for the week big tech companies lost more than 255 billion in market capitalization in the past week apple inc aapl escaped the carnage rallying friday as investors appeared okay with a mixed earnings report a parade of disappointing earnings sank shares of facebook parent meta platforms inc meta google parent alphabet inc goog googl amazoncom inc amzn and microsoft msft together the five companies have lost a combined 3 trillion in market capitalization this year according to dow jones market data aggressive interest rate increases by the fed and other major central banks have punished tech and other growth stocks the most this year as their value is based on expectations for earnings and cash flow far into the future the accompanying rise in yields on treasurys which are viewed as riskfree raises the opportunity cost of holding riskier assets like stocks and the further out those expected earnings stretch the bigger the hit excessive liquidity a key ingredient in any bubble has also contributed to tech weakness said rba’s suzuki and now investors see an emerging risk to big tech earnings from an overall slowdown in economic growth suzuki said “a lot of people have the notion that these are secular growth stocks and therefore immune to the ups and downs of the overall economy that’s not empirically true at all if you look at the history of profits for these stocks” he said tech’s outperformance during the covidinspired recession may have given investors a false impression with the sector benefiting from unique circumstances that saw households and businesses become more reliant on technology at a time when incomes were surging due to fiscal stimulus from the government in a typical slowdown tech profits tend to be very economically sensitive he said the fed’s policy meeting will be the main event in the week ahead while investors and economists overwhelmingly expect policy makers to deliver another supersize 75 basis point or 075 percentage point rate increase when the twoday gathering ends on wednesday expectations are mounting for chairman jerome powell to indicate a smaller december may be on the table however all three major indexes remain in bear markets so the question for investors is whether the bounce this week will survive if powell fails to signal a downshift in expectations for rate rises next week see another fed jumbo rate hike is expected next week and then life gets difficult for powell those expectations helped power the dow’s big gains over the past week alongside solid earnings from a number of components including global economic bellwether caterpillar inc cat overall the dow benefited because it’s “very techlight and it’s very heavy in energy and industrials and those have been the winners” art hogan chief market strategist at b riley wealth management told marketwatch’s joseph adinolfi on friday “the dow just has more of the winners embedded in it and that has been the secret to its success” meanwhile the outperformance of the invesco sp 500 equal weight etf rsp up 55 over the week versus the marketcapweighted spdr sp 500 etf trust spy underscored that while tech may be vulnerable to more declines “traditional parts of the economy including sectors that trade at a lower valuation are proving resilient since the broad markets bounced nearly two weeks ago” said tom essaye founder of sevens report research in a friday note “stepping back this market and the economy more broadly are starting to remind me of the 20002002 setup where extreme tech weakness weighed on the major indices but more traditional parts of the market and the economy performed better” he wrote suzuki said investors should remember that “bear markets always signal a change of leadership” and that means tech won’t be taking the reins when the next bull market begins “you can’t debate that we’ve already got a signal and the signal is telling up that next cycle not going to look anything like the last 12 years” he said | 0 |
