Stock Market & Economy Recap - Saturday, Dec. 18
Saturday, December 18, 2021 1:15 PM EDT
The data continues to support the economic expansion; earnings are great and valuation remains reasonable. But it was all about the Fed this week. The Fed’s sharp pivot could have a negative effect on financial conditions in 2022.

In a slow week for earnings and data, it was all about inflation. Annualized CPI only got worse, but some downward pressure could be coming from the recent drop in oil prices.

The week began with some positive news regarding Black Friday sales, with total sales coming in +29.8% above last year, as store traffic increased 42.9% (still down 28% compared to 2019). Still the COVID-19 variant loomed in the background.

The slew of economic data this week largely reinforced that the expansion is still well in tact, as well as the inflation threat. Personal incomes are rising, but not at the pace of cost increases when we subtract government transfer payments.

This was the first week where the effect of the supply chain disruptions showed up in the data. Q3 GDP came in at 2%, while initial estimates in August were for GDP growth of +6%, and if we strip out inventory investments then GDP growth was 0%.

Stock Market & Economy Recap - Saturday, Oct. 23

Companies had been lowering their 2022 sales and earnings guidance because of supply chain disruptions. I believe this was one of the reasons the S&P 500 dipped about 5%. But Q3 results started coming out and the stellar performance streak continued.

It was a holiday-shortened week with little earnings and economic data, and investors used the opportunity to take some profits. Perhaps the biggest news of the week was the ECB announcement that they would begin reducing its asset purchase program.

A market correction could occur at anytime, but it's hard to be ultra bearish in this environment. The Fed could be the only thing that messes this up, if they make a policy mistake. But they seem to be doing everything they can to appease markets.

The S&P 500 doubled from the March 2020 low point in a record 354 trading days. This is the fastest recovery in the post-WWII era. It goes to show what strong earnings, low rates, and government stimulus can do.

The market continues to overlook the COVID-19-related disruptions. With Q2 earnings mostly behind us, all eyes will be on the Jackson Hole Symposium in two weeks, where the Fed could lay the framework for reducing its bond buying program.
