Analysis: Tariffs begin to take bite out of U.S. corporate earnings growth
U.S. company earnings growth is slowing after a bumper start to the year, and the reality of an escalating trade war between two of the world's largest economies is starting to weigh on companies ranging from Caterpillar Inc to Ford Motor Co. While earnings growth is still high at 22 percent so far this quarter, the amount by which S&P 500 index companies are beating analyst estimates is nearly half of what it was during the first quarter, according to Refinitiv data. Along with rising interest rates which are making bonds more attractive, slower earnings growth is eroding investor sentiment and contributed to Tuesday's sharp sell in equities globally.

Bloomberg•1 hour agoGundlach Warns Market Moves Bad for Risk-Parity Hedge Funds
A 6.5 percent decline in the S&P 500 Index from its September high, coupled with a less than four basis point drop in the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was bad for the popular hedge fund strategy, the bond manager said in a Twitter post after U.S. markets closed Tuesday. Multi-asset risk-parity funds, first popularized by Ray Dalio, weigh their exposures according to measures of volatility and aim to hold an equal amount of risk among investment classes. The S&P Multi-Asset Risk Parity Index, one measure of the strategy, has underperformed a traditional 60/40 equity/bonds allocation this year, according Bloomberg calculations.

COLUMN-Global economy is running out of momentum: Kemp
John Kemp is a Reuters market analyst. LONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The global economic outlook is deteriorating, with a broad range of asset prices and real-time economic indicators pointing to either a slowdown in growth or an outright recession occurring in 2019. The KOSPI-100 has correlated closely with the growth in international trade, given the South Korean economy's strong export orientation, so the sharp decline suggests trade growth will slow sharply in the months ahead.

Reuters•6 hours agoFor Fed, sell-off could point to fading Trump stimulus
NEW YORK/BATON ROUGE, La. (Reuters) - A three-week stock market sell-off may signal concerns that the massive stimulus from U.S. tax cuts and government spending will fade sooner than expected, a central issue for the Federal Reserve as it considers when to halt interest rate hikes. For now, a more than 7 percent fall this month in the S&P 500 index, which on Tuesday tumbled to July levels, is unlikely to derail plans for more U.S. monetary tightening in December, according to Fed policymakers. "It's pretty clear that the market is saying that it feels the Federal Reserve is being too hawkish," said Oliver Pursche, chief market strategist at Bruderman Asset Management.
