Yet as I write this, stocks are continuing their relatively blas\u00e9 approach to the changing rate environment.&nbsp; Earlier this week, <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/february-follies-come-to-a-close\/\">we noted that stock moves in February<\/a> were relatively muted, as the chart below shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>1-Month Chart, 10-Minute Bars, S&amp;P 500 (SPX, red\/green), NASDAQ 100 (NDX, blue)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"370\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Picture3.png\" alt=\"1-Month Chart, 10-Minute Bars, S&amp;P 500 (SPX, red\/green), NASDAQ 100 (NDX, blue)\" class=\"wp-image-185968 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Picture3.png 624w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Picture3-300x178.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 624px;

I pushed back at him, saying that the stock market\u2019s performance over the month was remarkably good considering the backup in yields and <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/disinflation-is-transitory\/\">persistently higher inflation reports<\/a>.&nbsp; The bigger question is how can stock traders remain relatively sanguine as their fixed income counterparts run to the exits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I offer the following theories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Institutions have sufficiently de-risked their portfolios to the point where they can remain relatively unconcerned.&nbsp; If institutional investors are underweight equities and overweight cash, they may not feel compelled to sell more stocks or clamor for protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: initial;\">That may also explain why VIX seems to be mired around the 20 level.&nbsp; If an investor feels relatively protected, they have little demand for volatility protection.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As we noted the other day, it means that <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/february-follies-come-to-a-close\/\">the \u201cpain trade\u201d might be to the upside<\/a>.&nbsp; Institutional investors are highly susceptible to FOMO, especially if they are underweight and risk missing their benchmarks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quite frankly, stocks can ignore bonds for extended periods of time.&nbsp; I began my career at Salomon Brothers in 1987.&nbsp; Stock traders were ebullient, with equities moving higher seemingly every day, while the bond traders showed bear market gloom.&nbsp; This went on for months, until of course it reversed scarily. &nbsp;To be sure, I say this for illustration, not because we have reached those sorts of extremes.&nbsp; But the relationship between stocks and bonds can be tenuous in the short- or even intermediate-term.&nbsp; Equity valuations tend to rely on discounted cash flows, and higher rates reduce the present value of those flows. &nbsp;Yet for the same reason that I find myself occasionally eating too much pizza even as I attempt to maintain a healthy diet, stock traders can become fixated on compelling narratives or momentum at the expense of valuation discipline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stocks are at level where they are receiving a considerable amount of technical support.&nbsp; The chart below shows that SPX is perched around its 100-day and 200-day moving averages and a key trendline that has been supportive since October:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spx-1-year-daily-bars-with-100-day-yellow-and-200-day-purple-moving-averages\"><strong><em>SPX 1-Year Daily Bars with 100-Day (yellow) and 200-Day (purple) Moving Averages<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"652\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Picture2-1100x652.png\" alt=\"SPX 1-Year Daily Bars with 100-Day (yellow) and 200-Day (purple) Moving Averages\" class=\"wp-image-185967 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Picture2-1100x652.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Picture2-700x415.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Picture2-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Picture2-768x455.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Picture2.png 1430w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px;

It may be as simple as the notion that traders aren\u2019t fully finished with the risk-on sentiment that we have seen since January.&nbsp; But if the bullish argument is based strictly on technical support and key index levels, those can be quite fragile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is a fairly momentous day in the world of fixed income.
