What The Analysts Are Saying…
“Beyond September, we continue to expect a 50 bps hike in November, but now anticipate another 50 bps hike in December, 25 bps higher than our previous forecast. With our February 2023 expectation of a 25 bps hike unchanged, our terminal rate forecast now stands at 4.50-4.75 percent, 50 bps higher.” — Nomura analyst Aichi Amemiya on CNBC-TV18
“If you’re going to do this right, then what’s been happening in the past nine months is totally irrelevant. If you’re investing for the next five to 10 years, this is just an ordinary blip in the marketplace, and you ignore it.” — Ric Edelman, founder of Edelman Financial Services, commenting on Bitcoin’s bearish price action
“You’ve got to break Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla, and Google. They’re disconnected from their long-term valuations. Apple has a sequential drop in its sales and earnings and the stock just goes up. It makes absolutely no sense. In a bear market, growth dies.” — Jeff Bierman, former chief market technician at TD Ameritrade, on why stocks have further downside
👀What We’re Watching👀
| How much will the Fed hike interest rates? The Federal Reserve will meet to set interest rates on September 20-21, announcing a decision on September 21. Although a 75bps rate hike is expected according to interest rate futures, a 100bps hike is not out of the questions. This past week, odds for a 100 basis point rate hike jumped more than 20% after the consumer price index showed an increase from July. As well, prominent insiders such as Former United States Secretary of the Treasury, Larry Summers, believe a 100bps hike would ‘reinforce credibility’ in the markets. So although inflation may look to be peaking, it appears the FED is dead-set on crushing inflation at the expense of the economy. Same as it ever was at similar points of previous economic cycles. Factoid: 24% of S&P 500 stocks are above their 50-day moving average; 31% of all US stocks are above the 50MA The 50-day moving average is a widely-followed demarcation of shorter term daily/weekly trends. So with most of the market well below equilibrium (50%), the broad market can be considered ‘weak’. Since generally it is more bullish to swing trade profitably on the long side when more stocks are above their 50-day average, caution on initiating new positions in advised in the absence of a fresh catalyst or long term dollar cost averaging plan. Nasdaq heads for first double test of the 200 week moving average since 2009 The 200 day MA (simple) is considered the foremost technical indicator used to analyze, identify and confirm long term trends. It is the demarcation point representing the average closing price for the last 200 days, and can be applied to any security or time frame. Thus, it will be important for the Nasdaq to maintain its integrity or it will be a strong indication that additional price weakness lies ahead on short/intermediate timelines. The simple 200MA on the Nasdaq QQQ Invesco ETF rests at 271.35, according to barchart.com. QQQ closed at 289.32 on Friday. |
