Equities surged as a Republican sweep is the likely election outcome: Tom Essaye Quoted in Morningstar

Dow soars as these areas are ‘likely market winners’ of potential Republican sweep

Equities surged as “a Republican sweep is the likely election outcome,” Tom Essaye, the founder and president of Sevens Report Research, said in a note Wednesday. “This likely ‘green lights’ a solid year-end rally as long as growth and the Fed perform as expected.”

The note described the Republican agenda as favoring “pro-growth policies,” citing tax cuts, deregulation, “a focus on domestic industries and negotiating better trade relationships.”

Essaye pointed to several exchange-traded funds as “the likely market winners from this policy stance,” including the Vanguard Value ETF VTV, which invests in large-cap value stocks in the U.S., and the small-cap equities-focused iShares Russell 2000 ETF IWM.

It’s been a stellar year so far for U.S. markets: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s

Why Trump’s Win Can Stoke the Bull Market for the Rest of 2024

It’s been a stellar year so far for U.S. markets. Investors should expect the surge to carry on until the end of 2024 now that Donald Trump has won the race to the White House, Sevens Report Research founder and president Tom Essaye said on Wednesday.

While the result isn’t “a bullish gamechanger” because stocks are already up so much this year, the election results “should spur a rally into year-end, barring any other major surprises,” he wrote in a research note.

The expectation that Trump could roll out pro-growth economic policies and tax cuts, combined with a solid macroeconomic environment, could power the S&P 500 past 6,000 points by the end of 2024, Essaye added.

Earnings across the board were disappointing : Tom Essaye Quoted in Blockworks

Major earnings week weighs on tech stocks

Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research, said it wasn’t just Big Tech weighing on equities Thursday. Earnings across the board were disappointing (looking at you, Uber, Ebay and Intercontinental Exchange), plus economic data looks like we may see higher rates for a more sustained period of time.

The biggest risk for the market would be if the data come in strong anyway

The biggest risk for the market would be if the data come in strong anyway: Tom Essaye Quoted in Market Watch

The stakes for the October jobs report are high — here’s what to expect: Sevens Report

The stakes for the latest reading from the main U.S. employment barometer are high. Although not in the way many investors might think, according to Tom Essaye, founder and president of Sevens Report Research.

Fallout from hurricanes that hit Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, coupled with the ongoing Boeing strike, are expected to push up the unemployment rate. Because of this, investors are already expecting a weak report, Essaye said in commentary shared with MarketWatch on Thursday.

It also means that the biggest risk for the market would be if the data come in strong anyway. Signs of a still-resilient labor market could pressure the Federal Reserve to leave its policy interest-rate target on hold next week, Essaye added.

A too-hot number could push stocks lower and Treasury yields higher as traders account for a greater likelihood of a “no landing” scenario.

“A second straight monthly jobs report above 200k and the unemployment rate dropping back below 4% will bolster the no landing expectation and push back hard on another rate cut quickly following the cut in September,” Essaye said.

It was not enough to derail the soft landing thesis: Tom Essaye Quoted in Blockworks

GDP estimates boost hopes for a soft landing

Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research, said the report “was not enough to derail the soft landing thesis by itself, but it was a step in that direction as investors will want to start seeing the decline in headline job openings slow as part of a soft landing dynamic and still-healthy labor market.”

The fundamental backdrop of the oil market

The fundamental backdrop of the oil market: Tyler Richey Quoted in Morningstar

Oil prices end higher on surprise fall in U.S. crude supply, rise in gasoline demand

“The fundamental backdrop of the oil market has become less bearish this week, but it would be a stretch to say that market dynamics are beginning to favor the bulls on any time horizon beyond a few days,” said Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research.

“Concerns about a surplus emerging in the global oil market have been dialed back given the improving consumer-demand figures in [Wednesday’s] EIA report and news that OPEC+ leadership is considering postponing output cuts currently planned for December,” he told MarketWatch.

One of the more important lessons I’ve learned: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s

High Yield Bonds May Be Sending an Ominous Message, Says One Analyst

One of the more important lessons I’ve learned in my two-plus decades of watching markets is that bond markets can (and often do) lead stock markets. That’s why we watch bonds so closely. A recent technical breakdown in the high-yield ETF JNK [SPDR Bloomberg High Yield Bond ETF] has caught our attention.

Growth and inflation have been firmer than expected: Sevens Report Founder Tom Essaye Quoted in Morningstar

Why U.S. stock market’s slump on rising Treasury yields may be short-lived

While U.S. fiscal concerns tied to a potential Republican sweep in the upcoming election may be behind the 10-year Treasury yield’s rise, “it’s much more likely the 10-year yield has risen to three-month highs because growth and inflation have been firmer than expected,” according to a note Wednesday from Sevens Report Research.

“Economic growth since the Fed rate cut has been almost universally better than expected,” including the September jobs report, retail sales, data measuring the services sector and estimates from Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model, the note said.
