Markets Consolidate Amidst Impeachment and Fed Hearings
After struggling to reach new highs once again Wednesday, markets are pulling back some Thursday morning, amidst impeachment hearings and fallout from the Fed, as Fed Chair Jerome Powell testifies before the US house again today. Hoping stocks will continue their ascension through 2020 and beyond, President Donald Trump has long been critical of the Fed and its approach to monetary policy, stating at The Economic Club Of New York on Tuesday, “If we had a Fed that worked with us, we could have added another 25% to those numbers,” referring to potential gains to major stock benchmarks. Powell emphasized that one factor which could damage the economy is the ongoing trade war with China.

Could The Stock Rally Just Be Getting Warmed Up?
The S&P 500 has rallied to fresh all-time highs today on the back of a new streaming service release from Disney, earnings data, and trade optimism. According to technical research strategists at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the S&P 500 could have the potential to climb as much as an additional 25%, rocketing higher to 3,850, if stocks stage the same type of breakout they had after the last two similar market downturns. “Last week’s push above SPX 3,063 is an uncomfortable breakout for many who viewed the SPX pattern as bearish,” the strategists wrote, but added that the same was true of breakouts in late 2016 and early 2013.

Would A Democratic President Be Bad For Markets?
While President Trump has affected markets with tweets and posturing, is it possible a Democratic presidential nominee like Elizabeth Warren could alter it herself in the future? Warren has made it no secret she is not the biggest fan of Wall Street and big business, claiming recently in Iowa, “Our democracy has been hijacked by the rich and the powerful.” Although it did not have an incredibly wide viewing reception, a video clip Warren's office produced was released in mid-July with the tagline “Stop Wall Street looting,” now has Blackstone and other private equity firms rattled. Some finance executives who chose to remain anonymous recently told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer they are currently refraining from donating to Democrats running for Senate in 2020 due to their concerns Sen. Elizabeth Warren will become a favorite in the race for the party’s presidential nomination, according to people familiar with the conversations.

Markets React to Formalization of Impeachment Inquiry, China Trade Deal News
After a meteoric rise Wednesday following the FOMC meeting announcement and subsequent press conference with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, U.S. stocks reversed all the gains from yesterday, to trade back below Thursday's range amid Impeachment and China trade deal woes. As anticipated, the Federal Reserve cut rates Wednesday by 25 points to a range of 1.5% to 1.75%, as part of what Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has characterized this year as a “midcycle adjustment” in a maturing economic expansion. The FOMC statement seemed generally positive and noted that, “Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in September indicates that the labor market remains strong and that economic activity has been rising at a moderate rate," with stocks climbing rapidly higher and closing at fresh all-time highs, which continued in overnight trading.

Yale Economist Says Trump Is Good For The Market
This article was originally published on ETFTrends.com. With the constant back-and-forth of markets this year due to fluctuating news headlines, a protracted trade war, rampant presidential tweeting, and the prospect of further rate cuts by the Fed, investors are speculating as to whether we are due for a recession or not, as this bull market continues to run long. “This inverted yield curve scare looked frightening at first, but nothing dramatic has happened. The bigger uncertainty of course is these impeachment hearings, and if he survives that he might contribute for some time in boosting the market,” said Yale economist Robert Shiller on CNBC.

Is The Fed Likely To Cut Rates At The Next Meeting?
New evidence has been mounting that the Federal Reserve could soon take a break in its latest rate-cutting cycle, and, depending on economic data and developments in trade talks, that could happen at, or more likely, after the Oct. 29-30 meeting, say experts. Chicago Fed President Charles Evans, who had championed the last two rate cuts, said this week he foresaw no future cuts this year, though he’s open to one if economic data worsen. Meanwhile, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said he’s “agnostic” on future rate cuts, and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, said in a speech last week, that decisions are being made as needed, appearing disinterested on future actions.

U.S. and China May Have Different Definitions of ‘Deal’
U.S. markets rallied fiercely last week after President Donald Trump tweeted that "good things" were happening, and that the U.S. had come to a “very substantial phase one deal” with China in the high-stakes trade negotiations between the two economic superpowers, last Friday. “Phase two will start almost immediately” after the first phase is signed, Trump said in the Oval Office alongside Chinese Vice Premier Liu He. Let’s think of this not as phase 1 but phase 0.5, because the US thinks they’ve made an agreement but China doesn’t necessarily believe the same.

The Fourth Quarter is Historically a Winner for Stocks
U.S. stocks were hit hard Tuesday and further brutalized today, after U.S. manufacturers posted the biggest contraction in September since the end of the 2007-2009 recession, reflecting a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies that is further amplified by a protracted trade war with China. The Institute for Supply Management released data showings its manufacturing index slumped to 47.8% last month from 49.1%, marking it the lowest level since June 2009, when the so-called “Great Recession” ended. “We have now tariffed our way into a manufacturing recession in the U.S. and globally,” Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group, said on Tuesday.

Fed: To Cut, Or Not To Cut U.S. Interest Rates
While there has been significant debate among Federal Reserve officials as to whether or not they will cut interest rates at its meeting today, there is generally consensus among economists that the Fed is going to cut rates by another quarter point at the end of its two day meeting on Wednesday. “Since the Committee delivered its first 25bp (basis points) cut in July, the Fed leadership has continued to highlight uncertainty about the growth outlook and pledged to ‘act as appropriate’ to sustain the expansion, making another rate cut a near certainty,” Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius said. The Fed has fought the trend even though many of its officials have indicated they anticipate that the next economic downturn will see a return to near-zero rates, which former Chairman Alan Greenspan has speculated as well.

Leveraged ETF Plays as Stocks Stumble on Saudi Oil
U.S. stocks fell on Monday after crude oil saw a colossal price escalation following drone strikes on a Saudi oil facility over the weekend, which has impeded more than half of the kingdom’s daily exports, or about 5% of the world’s crude production. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which had rallied yet again on Friday, posting its first eight-day winning streak in over a year, with improving sentiment around U.S.-China trade relations, fell over 0.5%, while the S&P 500, and Nasdaq, which had already faced struggles on Friday, slipped roughly 0.3%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied yet again on Friday, posting its first eight-day winning streak in over a year, with improving sentiment around U.S.-China trade relations. While Dow closed 37.07 points higher, or 0.1% at 27,219.52, the other indices faced struggles, as the S&P 500 slipped 0.1% to 3,007.39, and he Nasdaq ended the day down 0.2% at 8,176.71. After closing on their highs Tuesday, stock index futures rallied further Wednesday evening after President Trump declared that he would be postponing the planned increase of tariffs on Chinese goods by a little over 2 weeks, as a “gesture of good will.” The tariffs, which are designed to increase to 30% from 25% on about $250 billion worth of Chinese goods, have been a topic of much debate recently.

How Market Data Could Effect A Rate Cut Decision
This article was originally published on ETFTrends.com. With markets once again within less than 1.5% of all time highs, investors are concerned that these lofty levels could be derailed by global and economic events such as a Fed rate cut, or lack of one. One analyst weighs in on CNBC as to how economic data play into the markets and what the upcoming Fed meeting is likely to hold. Producer Pricing Index (PPI) data could weaken some according to Jay Bryson, Wells Fargo acting chief economist, which would reflect an overall decline in industrial production, which the Fed will take into consideration.

Technical Experts Expect New Highs for U.S. Stocks
Despite the slight downdraft on Monday, technical market analysts, who watch stock charts rather than look at fundamental news, see a chance for stocks to break above previous highs made in July, after the S&P 500 rose above its 50-day moving average last week and crossed above August highs, two signs of positive market strength. After a fall-off in late July and August, the S&P 500 has been mostly positive in September, climbing back to within 1.5% of all-time highs, amid more muted trade war tensions and optimism that there may be more rate cuts on the way. “For the camp that wants to see new all-time highs, they would like to see the S&P 500 to hold 2,940 to 2,955.
