Daily Spotlight: Fear Index Shoots Higher
After a calm first quarter, when the VIX Volatility Index averaged a low 13.5, the closely watched "fear index" has jumped five points in April and the S&P 500 has slipped 5%. Are we headed for a market correction or even a visit from the bear? After a remarkable 27% run from late October 2023 through March, stocks appear to be reacting to some of the risks we have highlighted for 2024, such as geopolitical developments (Mideast, Russia, China), high interest rates (the Fed hasn't cut yet), the chance of recession (the yield curve is still inverted), stubborn inflation, and the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election. On the positive side, we continue to anticipate that the U.S. economy will avoid a recession into 2025, the Federal Reserve will start to lower interest rates later this year, and earnings growth is poised to accelerate over the next few quarters. All that said, the current VIX reading is around 18.5, which is below the 15-year average of 20.5 and signals that investors aren't overly worried (yet) about the outlook. This reading compares to the average VIX of 24 during the most-recent bear market and 35 during the financial crisis of 2008-2009. During the long bull market in the 2010s, the VIX averaged 18 and even touched lows below 10 in 2017. We continue to think that the S&P 500 is in the early innings of a new bull market that dates to October 2022. And while the path for equities won't be straight up, we suggest investors over-weight their portfolios toward stocks at the current market and economic juncture.

U.S. stocks were down on Wednesday following Chairman Powell's speech yesterday. He noted current monetary policy could be maintained until inflation shows more downward progress. Investors are now looking at September for the first rate cut according to CME's FedWatch tool, and are split as to whether or not there will be just one or two rate cuts this year - a significant departure from last year when markets had anticipated five rate cuts in 2024. The Dow was down 0.3%, the S&P 500 fell 0.4% and the Nasdaq lost 0.6%. Crude oil is trading near above $84 per barrel and gold fell $6 to $2401 per ounce.
