Yesterday was the biggest down day of this year.  I thought about putting an exclamation point at the end of the prior sentence, but then remembered that this year is only seven weeks old.  Down days hurt, but let\u2019s put this one in perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw the S&P 500 (SPX) fall by -2% and the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) by 2.4%.  This year, SPX had a larger percentage up day on January 6th<\/sup> and NDX had three larger percentage jumps \u2013 January 6th<\/sup> and 20th<\/sup>, and February 2nd<\/sup>.  There was some shock at those moves\u2019 magnitudes because they may have been abetted by speculators pyramiding \u201czero-dated\u201d options<\/a>, but no concern about their direction.  They were socially acceptable volatility<\/a>, after all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some days when I have difficulty explaining why markets move in one direction or another.  Yesterday was not one of them.  Yields rose sharply across the curve.  We have stated repeatedly that if safe assets are getting clobbered, risk assets don\u2019t stand a chance.<\/a>  As of yesterday, 2-year rates had risen 50 basis points this month, with 10 of them coming yesterday.  The rise in 10-year rates was \u201conly\u201d 40bp in that timeframe, but yesterday\u2019s 14bp rise didn\u2019t help.  Over the same month-to-date period, the declines of less than 1% in major US indices seems like a win in comparison.  Throw in some negative guidance from key consumer stocks like Home Depot (HD) and Walmart (WMT) and down we went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stocks have been riding a wave of positive momentum, spurred by larger a than usual January effect<\/a> and a relatively charitable response to most of earnings season.  The momentum kept stocks relatively buoyant even as bonds sent a series of negative signals about the near-term path of interest rates.  Stock traders feared missing the momentum. Quite frankly, however, FOMO is a powerful but terrible motivator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our recent \u201cState of the Markets\u201d piece<\/a>, we asked four questions that investors needed to address in the coming weeks.  They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Are we continuing to fight the Fed, and for how long?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Are we going to get the hoped-for soft landing?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Under what circumstances might we get the rate cuts that are being priced into Fed Funds futures?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. How has the plethora of short-term options affected the recent market action?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ve begun to get answers to those questions sooner than we might have expected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Yes, we\u2019ve been fighting the Fed, but we seem less inclined to do so after a couple of recent declines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. That seems a lot less likely now that it did just a short while ago.  Bonds reconciled themselves to the idea that a soft-landing doesn\u2019t appear imminent more quickly than stocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. The circumstances that might bring a rate cut are the same now as then \u2013 a weak economy that forces the Fed\u2019s hand (careful what you wish for) or a quick victory in the inflation battle.  Recent economic reports and Fed commentary (most recently Bullard and Mester) indicate otherwise. Fed Funds futures are far less hopeful about rate cuts later this year than they were in the immediate aftermath of the FOMC meeting on the first of this month.  They were pricing in a bit more than one rate hike, with a peak of 4.9% in June and 1-2 cuts by the end of 2023.  They now show a peak rate of 5.34% in July and a full cut is not priced in until January. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. As noted above, it appears that \u201czero-dated\u201d or \u201c0DTE\u201d options exacerbated some of the big up days that we had recently but appear to have no lasting effect.  They\u2019re a tool that could allow speculators to supercharge a rally, but have little effect on other days.  (More about 0DTE here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      So far today we\u2019ve had a tepid bounce in bond prices (lower yields) and a churn around unchanged levels in stock indices.  Markets usually need to digest big moves, and the expected release of the minutes of the last FOMC meeting may be giving investors some pause.  Investors need the occasional reminder that forces other than momentum influence stock prices, that sometimes those influences are negative, and that stocks need to respect moves in other asset classes.  Yesterday was one of those reminders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
