Markets Have Aggressively Priced In No Recession Or Slowdown

Markets Have Aggressively Priced In No Recession Or Slowdown: Sevens Report Analysts Quoted in Investing.com


Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P 500 weekly preview: Eyeing record highs

“Markets have aggressively priced in no recession or slowdown, but that’s premature. The economy could easily slow and there are some signals slowing growth is happening,” analysts at Sevens Report said.

Sevens Report analysts: “For this rally to continue, we can’t have economic data suddenly start to miss expectations, because now that the Fed has made its dovish pivot, it can’t help markets if worries about an economic slowdown rise. That’s why we’re watching economic data closely at the start of the year.”

Valuation Update

What’s in Today’s Report:

  • Valuation Update
  • Gold Market Update: Breakout or Breakdown?

Futures are indicating an open at fresh record highs and international markets traded higher overnight as earnings continue to top expectations and economic concerns fade.

There were no notable economic reports or market-moving headlines overnight outside of more mostly upbeat earnings.

Looking into today’s session, there are several reports on the housing market due out early: Case-Shiller Home Price Index (E: 1.3%), FHFA House Price Index (E: 1.3%), and New Home Sales (E: 760K), but the most important economic release to watch today is Consumer Confidence (E: 109.0) as a disappointing print could weigh on consumer spending expectations into year-end.

There are no Fed officials scheduled to speak today however the Treasury will hold a 2-Yr Note Auction at 1:00 p.m. ET. The risk to equities is a soft outcome as that could rekindle the hawkish policy concerns that weighed on risk assets this past Friday.

Finally, earnings remain the main focus of the market right now and several big companies are due to report today including: UPS ($2.52), GE ($0.41), and SHW ($2.07) before the open, and AMD ($0.67), MSFT ($2.06), GOOGL ($23.13), V ($1.53) after the close.
