The market is saying there's no 'growth problem': Strategist

Despite Thursday's weaker-than-expected GDP figure, which hinted at a slowing economy, Truist Co-Chief Investment Officer and Chief Market Strategist Keith Lerner joins Market Domination to explain why this number doesn't accurately reflect the economy's growth trajectory. Lerner argues that the GDP data was fine "underneath the hood," showing that consumers and businesses were still spending, and underlying demand remained robust. He notes, "the market's hanging in there relatively well," emphasizing that a deeper examination of the GDP components revealed "there's still solid economic growth." On the inflation front, Lerner acknowledges that he had anticipated a post-pandemic economic slowdown. However, even with solid growth, he remains optimistic that inflation can be brought down to the 2% target. Addressing concerns about stagflation, he states, "It's a risk, not our base case." Lerner points to the strong performance of the energy (XLE), financials (XLF), and industrials (XLI) sectors as evidence that "the market is telling you that we don't have a growth problem at this point." This market behavior reinforces his view that the underlying economic fundamentals remain robust, despite the weaker GDP reading.

Powell's speech, commodities on the rise: Top takeaways

Inflation data, in all its forms, has been under a microscope as the Federal Reserve has made it clear that it wants more data to inform its next decision on interest rates. Fed Chair Jerome Powell made a speech on Wednesday reiterating the point that it relies on inflation data, that inflation is on a "bumpy" path to the target goal, and that an interest rate cut is likely to happen within the year. Commodities have been on the rise as inflation remains and supply issues have boosted prices for commodities like golld (CC=F), while the energy sector continues to perform poorly in the long term, but may have room to grow Yahoo Finance Reporter Josh Schafer joins Market Domination Overtime to break down the top takeaways from the trading day for April 3.
