Federated Investors' top fund manager thinks the market is wrongly pricing in a 2019 recession
Wall Street angst over a possible recession may be increasing, but one bull refuses to waver. Federated Investors' Steve Chiavarone believes there's nothing on the horizon that suggests the 2018 market corrections will become a massive downturn next year. Rather, he sees stocks hitting fresh record highs — citing labor market trends, inflation levels, the Treasury yield curve and credit spreads as key factors contributing to a favorable economic and market environment.

How a choppy stock market shows ‘neither bulls nor bears’ are in charge right now
The stock market’s inability to hold big opening gains — or big opening losses — is leaving some traders a bit frustrated. The S&P 500 (SPX) opened sharply higher Wednesday as stock markets charged out of the gate, ostensibly on optimism tied to more feel-good headlines surrounding U.S.-China trade talks. The S&P 500 had rallied toward technical resistance at 2,686, he noted, in a Wednesday blog post, and then “it was the gap- filling Algo’s that went to work bringing the S&P 500 lower.

[$$] US financial stocks slide into a bear market
Mounting investor concerns about the outlook for economic growth and borrowing costs have pushed US financial stocks into a bear market. The S&P 500 financial sector index finished 1 per cent lower on Friday to leave it down 20.1 per cent from its late January peak — crossing the 20 per cent threshold that typically defines the start of a bear market. The US central bank is expected to raise interest rates for a fourth time this year on December 19.

Wall St. looks to Fed outlook Wednesday for early Christmas gift
Investors are eager for a touch of Christmas cheer from the U.S. Federal Reserve next week, hoping for signs the central bank may ease up on interest rate hikes next year and spark a Santa Claus rally. U.S. stocks are having their worst December performance in 16 years with the S&P 500 (.SPX) notching a 5 percent drop so far this month. The Fed's ongoing reversal of easy-money policy is a major overhang, and it is expected to raise rates more at the end of its two-day meeting on Wednesday.
