HAVE YOU SUBSCRIBED TO "Before the Bell?" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFmyKJKseEMQp1d14AjvMUw (3/9/23) Market response to two days of Jerome Powell's testimony promising more rate hikes: Rally on. Bulls held the line at the 200DMA; Fear sells, but markets aren't signaling that, retaining a bullish bias. How we communicate now: Most text-message; The Fed is driving blind, relying on backwards-looking data. At what point will higher rates break something, or has it already? Example: The latest JOLTS (Job Openings & Labor Turnover Survey) report, and diminished constructio permits and starts. Is a pause as good as a pivot? markets' bullish sentiment is stronger than the Fed has expected; FOMO has come back into the markets. It will be a zig-zag market until more definitive economic numbers are seen: Next up is Friday's Employment Report. The simple formula that drives markets everyday is Suypply & Demand; the flaw in passive investing: If everyone did it, the market would flat-line. The conundrum of the Bond Market: As rates rise, money flows out of stocks; differentiating between 30-day and 30-year bonds. The inversion of the Yield Curves: We have never been as inversted without certain recession to follow. SEG-1: Is the Fed Running Out of Room?
