This week’s long-awaited speech by Chairman Jerome Powell is now behind us and the market has spoken…at least temporarily.
Thursday’s market rally in the wake of the great market manipulator’s comments speaks volumes.
Specifically, it means the market is back to being in tune with the Fed, and that another 0.75% increase in the Fed Funds Rate at the next Fed meeting on September 21st would not come as a surprise.
Surprise or not, it is interesting to note that a study done during the last Fed rate hike cycle that extended from late 2015 to 2019 shows the S&P 500’s (SPY) performance to be tilted negatively in the month following a Fed meeting in a hiking cycle vs. cycles where the Fed was simply holding a steady rate trajectory.
The market is a fickle beast, however, and its opinion can change on a dime.
And the ONE THING that can change its mind, and the Fed’s, is this Tuesday’s upcoming CPI inflation report!
The Fed is spooked about inflation right now, and an overly hot CPI number would be just the thing to SURPRISE EVERYBODY.
The market HATES uncertainty, and it HATES surprises even more.
