The Powell MovementSimon Hillis, Pro SkierSimon Hillis is the best Indonesian skier to ever slide on snow and has been sponsored since he was 4 years old. While both of those things are crazy to think about, Simon also had his first cover at 7, he's never paid for anything ski-wise, and while skiing isn't totally paying his bills these days, they have over the past 20 plus years of his sponsored skier career. From winning contests to filming with Warren Miller and TGR, Simon is where he is because of his insane talent that he developed at Red Mountain, not marketing or flashiness. Simon Hi...

ANGLES.Highly Valued.Following a mostly meaningful news-free weekend, markets headed into the last full week of September, historically the worst week of the year for stock prices, with lots of Fed governor speeches lined up including from the president’s manservant Stephen Miran and chairman Powell along with a potentially spicy UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York and developing concerns about an imminent US government shutdown. Even so, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ still managed to push deeper into all-time high territory for a third session in a row on Monday after Nvidia, the indexes’ largest component stoc...

ANGLES.All Eyes On Switzerland.Trump couldn’t help himself at the weekend and took another one of his regular juvenile potshots at Fed chairman Powell, this time he’s apparently “a total stiff”. But he graciously conceded that he’s not about to fire him (because by law he can’t). Wall Street just rolled its eyes and got on with the important stuff like focusing on earnings reports, economic data and the Fed meeting/Powell’s press conference on Wednesday. After nine straight days of gains that had raised stock prices by more than 10% and erased the massive losses caused by the tariff...

ANGLES.Welcome To The Jungle.Trump’s simmering resentment towards Fed chairman Powell for not bowing to his demands for an immediate interest rate cut was set off again over the weekend by a widely-read pro-Powell opinion article in the Wall Street Journal which described the president’s tariff policy as a “tax” and an “error”. One analyst described any undermining of the Fed’s sacred independence as a “welcome to the jungle” moment that would accelerate the increasingly popular “Sell America” trade and be extremely damaging to US financial markets. While Wall Street does not currently believe that Trump will ditch Powell (because he leg...

ANGLES.Flying Blind.A Fed week began on Monday with financial markets pretty much on hold. While there was zero probability of an interest rate cut announcement, the Wednesday March meeting of the interest rate-setting committee was still set to include the “Dot Plot & Statement of Economic Projections”; members’ quarterly estimates of where they believe interest rates, inflation and economic growth are heading in the coming months and years. This was bound to make interesting reading in the current uncertain market conditions. Retail sales data before the open showed an increase in February but less of a rebound from a poor J...

ANGLES.Wrecked.Jitters caused by yet another example of Trump tossing a hand grenade into a room and not worrying about the clean up until afterwards with the whole Colombia fiasco over the weekend ended up not being the main driver of prices on Monday morning. That honor went to Chinese startup DeepSeek which announced that it is producing cutting-edge AI with minimal costs and no next-gen chips, potentially derailing the investment case for the entire AI supply chain, puncturing the sense of American exceptionalism in tech and maybe even undermining the bullish justification for the entire stock market...

ANGLES.Drifting.The final full week of September is historically on average the worst-performing week of the year for U.S. stocks. This time round, a very limited amount of consequential economic data ahead of the latest inflation reading on Friday and only a handful of earnings reports left the market feeling untethered and drifting, at the mercy of some notoriously unpredictable moving targets such as trader sentiment, global geopolitics, an erratic U.S. election campaign that feels like it could go off the rails at any moment, a looming government shutdown and lots and lots of Fed-Speak, with at least...

As the session wore on, however, the level of investor conviction and general chatter about a possible upcoming signal from the Fed on Friday concerning the start of a multiple interest rate cut process before year-end seemed to intensify...

Interest rate cut sentiment has now swung back to more hopeful again, with the futures-driven expected number of interest rate cuts this year moving up from one to two. This was in the same week that the Fed moved its own projection of the number of 2024 cuts lower from three to one. Huh? The S&P 500 posted its seventh weekly gain in the last eight weeks. As a highly consequential week began on Monday, Wall Street was laser-focused...

ANGLES.Mirage.Interest rate cuts are beginning to look like a mirage; the closer we seem to get to them the more they seem to recede into the distance. By the end of last week, the most likely Fed interest rate at the end of the year according to futures markets was 5.125% (see FEDWATCH INTEREST RATE TOOL below). With Fed Funds currently sitting at 5.375%, this now implies just one solitary Fed rate cut of 0.25% between here and New Year’s Eve.As a result, stocks fell for the third straight week and tech-heavy NASDAQ stocks in particular were brutalized, su...

The S&P 500 moved higher for the seventh consecutive week, something it hasn’t done since 2017.

There’s a perfect example of this on show right now with the most important question of all to investors. Is what we have seen over the last few weeks a temporary pullback within what is still a bull (rising) market that dates back to March of this year .. or .. is what we have seen over the last few months a temporary rally within what is still a bear...

Luke Powell Daily DevotionsChristopher Harrison Teaches Mark 1 (day 2): Jesus Sees You!Rev. Christopher Harrison is sharing with us this week!
We’re journeying this week through Mark’s gospel chapter 1 verse 16, where Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee and saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting nets and so on. Let's hold on to this. In our world today, Jesus is the risen one who's walking alongside of you, and He is the one who is incarnate. He walks amongst us, holding into our presence the love of God right here and right now.
We're not just talking about a historical figure. So picture your day...

ANGLES.Higher For Longer.Q2 and H1 2023 came to close on Friday. I’ll be releasing a full deep-dive review of the quarter in the financial markets in my feed in the next few days. For the moment, suffice to say that the TL;DR for the month of June is that it was defined by higher stock index prices but with a modest narrowing of the performance gap between the Super-Cap tech stocks and the rest of the market. Recent events in Russia have obviously injected more geopolitical uncertainty into the world, but as long as commodity prices don’t spik...

ANGLES.Connect The Dots.It was quite an extraordinary week in financial markets and potentially a very consequential one. The S&P 500 closed on Thursday at a higher level than it was the day before the Federal Reserve first started raising interest rates in March 2022. In other words, the index has now officially erased more than a year of Fed-inflicted interest rate pain. By the time the Fed meeting wrapped up on Wednesday, we had already received significant correspondence from the trenches of the war on inflation. When the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May came out the day before, we...

ANGLES.Almost There.A decent gain in stock prices on Monday was put down to a combination of an oversold bounce from the anguish of the two prior sessions, UBS finally putting Credit Suisse (CS) out of its misery by buying their Swiss banking rival for less than half of its value as well as not-too-guarded optimism about what Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell might say in his press conference later in the week, specifically speculating that he might formally announce that the rate-hiking cycle was over. Concerns about First Republic Bank (FRC) just refused to go away. Despite stories...

ANGLES.Bumpy Road.“This process is likely to take quite a bit of time, it’s not going to be smooth, it’s probably going to be bumpy”, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Tuesday in a speech in Washington DC, referring to getting inflation back to the Fed’s 2% target. But he could just as easily have been talking about the road to an eventual end of this bear market and a transition to a more sustainably bullish environment for stocks.The conventional wisdom is that the current bottom recorded last October is probably “in” and, going forward, dips are going...

ANGLES.The Rebellious Teen.The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC, see EXPLAINER: FINANCIAL TERM OF THE WEEK) surprised absolutely no-one by raising interest rates on Wednesday by a quarter of a percent to a target range of 4.50% to 4.75%.Fed Chair Jerome Powell dropped a few hawkish soundbites at his post-announcement press conference, all designed to be played out of context on CNBC, saying that monetary policy “does not yet look sufficiently restrictive” and that“ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate”. But he also said, “We can now say, I think for the first time, that the disinflati...

Or something. No look: our brains LOVE metaphors. We think in stories and our brains like making connections between different ideas to make sense of the world - particularly things we can't always touch and feel, like climate change. Metaphors can constrain, divert or unlock our creativity, so we'd better get smart about the metaphors we use. Because rest assured, there are some very clever metaphor-wangers out the...

ANGLES.Cooling Down.The highlight of the week, the all-important latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) measure of retail inflation numbers, came out before the market opened on Thursday and was right in line with forecasts, showing a continued cooling of inflation in the US. Headline CPI fell 0.1% between November and December, following a 0.1% increase the previous month. Over the past twelve months, the index is up 6.5%, falling from a 7.1% rate a month earlier. Core CPI, which excludes food and fuel costs, rose by 0.3% month-to-month and 5.7% year-on-year, the smallest twelve month gain since late 2021. The previous month, those numbers...

ANGLES.The Transition.The Transition from the primary market driver no longer being the expectations of what Fed interest rate policy will be and instead turning to tangible, evidence-based economic growth and inflation levels officially began last week with stocks trading on the back of growth and inflation perceptions rather than just reacting to Fed rhetoric like obedient lemmings. That’s something that will likely continue and intensify moving forward into 2023, as investors search for the answers to the two key questions:1) How fast will inflation decline?2) How bad will the economy get?The wh...

We are talking, of course, about Jerome Powell, the current Chair of the Federal Reserve, which needs financial conditions to remain tight to ensure its rate increases filter through the economy as desired: slowing demand and helping bring down in...

As an audience, we are teased with the prospect of good news when, suddenly, that hope is snatched away. That’s pretty much what happened in the stock market last week, specifically with the critical aftermath of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday.

ANGLES.Doubling Down.How quickly that half-full glass I talked about last week has emptied. A third consecutive week of stock market losses ended with a thousand point fall in the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Friday as Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, talking at the Fed’s annual jamboree in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, ferociously doubled down on the central bank’s commitment to raise interest rates as aggressively as is needed to bring current high inflation levels back down towards the target level of 2%. I’ll come back to this later. The durable goods report for July was disappointing, which...

The surprise-averse stock market absolutely loved that. But what really generated a huge amount of heat but precious little light was the often hyperbolic, ill-informed and sometimes blatantly politically motivated media reaction to the preliminary estimate of Q2 2022 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on Thursday. Who knew...

It’s busting out the big guns in the form of a lumpy interest rate increase and very loud threats that it will not stop until the beast of high inflation is finally slain. And if that remedy pushes the country into a recession, well then so be it. The result was the worst week for the stock market since those scary days back in February 2020.Markets moved seamlessly from the ghastly Friday of the previous week to an equally dire Monday of la...
