China Misses Growth Expectations—12/14/2018
China reported economic data that missed expectations and the market is selling off…again. This concern over global growth is the latest worry that has Wall Street’s attention.
Trump and Xi meet
Over the weekend, at the G-20 meeting, President’s Trump and Xi meet to discuss the trade tensions/Trade War between the U.S. and China. The gist of the meeting was that the Trade War will take a pause for 90 days. The world financial markets are hoping that these two leaders can come to a longer-term agreement during that time frame and these trade tensions will de-escalate.
Powell turns less hawkish
Powell Turns Less Hawkish—-11/28/2018
Fed Chair Powell gave a speech in which he said that interest rates are closer to neutral rather than still accomodative. This has eased the markets concerns that he was going to keep the hammer down and raise rates indefinitely, which would run the risk of destroying the economy. As I type this, the Dow is up over 500 points today.
Markets continuing to be Jittery
Markets Continuing to be Jittery—-11/12/2018
After a nice rally last week, the markets started to sell off again after the Fed meeting. I believe the reason is two fold:
1) Fed Chair Powell gave no indication that he will stop raising rates.
2) There is no trade deal with China
Regarding the first point, the market needs reassurance that the Fed will not keeping raising rates indefinitely. However, Chair Powell has given no hint that he will stop. The market would love to hear him say something as simple as, “the Fed will be data dependent regarding future interest rate hikes.” But, again, he hasn’t done that as of yet.
Regarding the second point, seemingly every other nation/organization has signed a new trade deal with the U.S. and/or given hints that they are working towards an agreement, except China. The market will not be fully settled until this is done. The largest players on the global economic stage are the U.S. and China and until there is an agreement on how business dealing will be done between those two, global market will remain volatile.
Mid-Terms Elections are done…market is rallying!
Mid-Term Elections are over…and the Market is rallying!!—11/7/2018
Last night saw the Democrats take control of the House and the Republicans retain control of the Senate. Historically, markets love a gridlocked Congress. As I type this, the Dow is up over 500 points. Looks like the market liked those election results.
