What to expect from the stock market this week
- Market Realist•16 hours ago
Why Rising Inflation Failed to Raise Long-Term Yields
The primary reason cited by the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) for holding off on interest rate hikes since 2016 was lagging inflation growth. Whenever the Fed signaled rate hikes, the yield curve flattened since investors were not convinced that inflation (TIP) growth would pick up the pace, which would limit the Fed’s ability to raise rates. The Fed has set a target of 2% inflation (VTIP) growth, at which point the economy is expected to be running at a normal pace.

Global Market Volatility Rises, Geopolitical Risks Are Back
There are some reports that the US could press for more sanctions on Russia this week, which could increase the volatility in global indexes. Apart from geopolitical issues, President Trump’s legal issues and China’s trade issues could also keep investors away from the markets. Markets are hoping for a solid earnings season, which kicked off last week.

FOMC Members Reviewed the US Financial Situation
The FOMC staff review indicated that US financial markets have been turbulent since the last meeting, which resulted in increased equity market volatility (VXX) and lower equity (VOO) asset prices. The reason cited for the increased equity market volatility was the surprising uptick in average hourly earnings in the January employment report, which made investors concerned about higher inflation and the interest rate increase. ...
ETF Database•9 days agoTrending: Soybean Prices Whipsaw on Trade War Fears
China retaliated by floating a 25% levy on U.S. soybean imports, sending the commodity’s price plunging and gearing up for a high-stakes clash between the two countries. While soybeans ranked first on the list, it also caused Brazil to enter the podium due to its position as the second-largest soybean producer in the world and also a potential beneficiary of the trade spat between the U.S. and China. Homebuilders came in third as new home orders surged amid a strong housing demand that benefits from low unemployment and rising wages. Volatility continued to be of interest as markets ebb and flow amid global political uncertainty, while small-cap value equities are appealing to investors who just got out of the big names.

Geopolitical and Political Risks Could Drive Volatility this Week
The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) raised interest rates by 25 basis points, which turned out to be a non-event. The proposal of $50.0 billion in tariffs on Chinese imports—and the potential for China’s $3.0 billion in retaliatory tariffs—pushed wary investors away from risk assets as they feared escalation into a trade war. Unlike economic events, these political events are difficult to predict and could go either way in terms of tangible impact on the economy. When adding the unpredictable nature of President Trump’s decisions to the mix, markets should be prepared for higher volatility in the week ahead.

Stocks are vulnerable until Q1 earnings season gets underway: trader
As I indicated in the conclusion of last week’s note, equity markets were vulnerable to further weakness based primarily on February’s selloff and the technical setup provided in the previous week. Not only did we witness a sharp pullback on escalating volume on all major equity exchanges on the week, but also the S&P 500 (^GSPC, SPY) closed exactly 10% off its record high while simultaneously setting up investors for that retest of the February lows the we have been expecting. It was an eventful week both politically and economically.
