Longs, shorts, speculators, hedgers, value players, growth junkies, trend-followers, and contrarians: welcome to today\u2019s missive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state of today\u2019s market is uncertain.&nbsp; I say this with the recognition that markets are always uncertain, but the current environment is demonstrably more uncertain than the one to which we\u2019d become accustomed.&nbsp; VIX readings above 30, when we had consistently seen levels in the teens for most of the past two years, is a testament to that notion.&nbsp; <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/socially-acceptable-volatility-redux\/\">Volatility is how the markets express investors\u2019 inability to reach a consensus on value<\/a>, and there are a multitude of significant factors that defy easy consensus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the year began, <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/2022-outlook-big-waves-ahead\/\">I alerted you to the likelihood of this scenario<\/a>, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThe primary theme is for investors to expect more volatility than we\u2019ve seen over the past year-and-a-half.&nbsp; The changing monetary environment should be the cause.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, major indices were at or near all-time highs and VIX was about 17.&nbsp; Since then, we have seen a 10% correction in the S&amp;P 500 (SPX) and a near 20% drop in the NASDAQ 100 (NDX).&nbsp; The latter figure could indicate the presence of a bear market, but even though long-term moving averages are now pointing lower, we\u2019ll refrain from making that call right now.&nbsp; A good portion of the declines can be explained by geopolitical events that were unanticipated and difficult to model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since March 2020, markets had been the beneficiaries of unprecedented amounts of fiscal and monetary stimuli.&nbsp; With the passage of the recent infrastructure package, it appears that the last of meaningful fiscal support is now behind us, and as of September 2021, the Federal Reserve has been preparing us to see the reversal of fiscal stimulus.&nbsp; The first step was to be the reduction of quantitative easing (QE) via a tapering of the Fed\u2019s monthly bond purchases, followed by gradual, sequential hikes to the Fed Funds rate.&nbsp; Bear in mind that we still have not yet seen a rate hike in the US, though we have seen them in the UK, Canada and elsewhere.&nbsp; Also bear in mind that the holdings of securities on the Fed\u2019s balance sheet have continued to grow at <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/if-youre-in-a-hole-first-stop-digging\/\">a pace only slightly below the $120 billion monthly increase that defined recent QE<\/a>.&nbsp; Furthermore, while reverse repo utilization has ebbed slightly, it remains the case that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkfed.org\/markets\/desk-operations\/reverse-repo\">over $1.5 trillion<\/a> seeks an overnight resting place at the New York Fed.&nbsp; Markets have been reacting negatively to the prospect of monetary tightening \u2013 they are of course discounting mechanisms \u2013 but history shows that stock prices usually react to changes in monetary conditions with a 4-6 week lag.&nbsp; We can\u2019t be certain what will transpire if and when monetary conditions actually change, and once again that uncertainty is likely to be reflected in continuing volatility.&nbsp; VIX futures reflect that point of view, as evidenced below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vix-futures-curves-today-yellow-1-week-ago-red-1-month-ago-magenta-year-end-2021-beige\"><strong>VIX Futures Curves, Today (yellow), 1 Week Ago (red), 1 Month Ago (magenta), Year End 2021 (beige)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"269\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"VIX Futures Curves, Today (yellow), 1 Week Ago (red), 1 Month Ago (magenta), Year End 2021 (beige)\" class=\"wp-image-126745 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Picture2.png 936w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Picture2-700x201.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Picture2-300x86.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Picture2-768x221.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 936px;

The chart above demonstrates that.&nbsp; VIX futures were anticipating current levels to be in the low 20\u2019s \u2013 decently above the spot index at that time, but well below the levels we see now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This morning we received a bout of clarity on the monetary front.&nbsp; During Congressional testimony, Chair Powell acknowledged that rate hikes would likely begin with a 25-basis point move in March, with similar hikes to follow sequentially unless the inflationary picture worsens.&nbsp; He also believes that inflation will peak and come down in ensuing months.&nbsp; In other words, he still believes inflation is transitory.&nbsp; That said, <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/fixed-income\/more-about-the-bond-markets-transitory-thinking\/\">the bond market implicitly shares that view<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of you might question how much worse it would need to get before the Fed would react even more aggressively, but the Core PCE Deflator, the Fed\u2019s preferred inflation metric, rose \u201conly\u201d 5% in the fourth quarter of 2021, which is below the February non-core CPI and PPI readings of 7.5% and 9.7% respectively.&nbsp; A 4Q reading is well behind the rapidly accelerating conditions that we had seen even prior to the shocks in oil and grain futures that have occurred in recent sessions.&nbsp; Today\u2019s rally in equities tells us that traders have largely removed faster rate hikes from their psyches, Powell caveat or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to bear in mind that we have yet to feel the full economic effects of the events in Ukraine.\u00a0 I can\u2019t think of a precedent for severing one of the world\u2019s largest economies from the global systems virtually overnight.\u00a0 Billions of dollar\u2019s worth of Russian assets were obliterated overnight and various key futures spiked higher, yet we have not heard word of cascading troubles at the institutions that own those assets.\u00a0 That too can take time, as we learned from the <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/geopolitics-take-a-back-seat-to-the-yolo-trade\/\">1998 demise of Long Term Capital Management<\/a> that followed a Russian default by a few weeks.\u00a0 It would be wonderful if the system was robust enough to avoid any contagion, but it is too early to say that we have fully avoid any troublesome outcomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like our President, I also decline to address Tesla in this speech, by the way.&nbsp; God bless and good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My fellow investors\u2026.
