Is it likely to transpire in exactly that manner, well, that\u2019s another story.&nbsp; There\u2019s a reason that sports betting companies advertise parlays relentlessly.&nbsp; They have long odds against paying off, and the house is much more likely to price the odds effectively than the gambler.&nbsp; Yet this long-odds bet seems to be the base case at the moment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s check the results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have we maintained solid earnings growth?&nbsp; For the most part, yes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has inflation moderated?&nbsp; Today\u2019s CPI report is most certainly another data point in that direction.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neither aggressive Fed action nor a recession?&nbsp; We\u2019ll need to unpack this one further.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It turns out that we saw the most aggressive Fed action in a generation, but it so far hasn\u2019t really mattered.&nbsp; When we wrote that piece, the upper bound of the Fed Funds target was 2.5%, up from 0.25% before the hiking cycle began in March 2022.&nbsp; We\u2019ve since more than doubled that target rate in the ensuing 11 months.&nbsp; Meanwhile, the timid steps to reduce the size of the Fed\u2019s balance sheet that began after it peaked in April 2022 had begun to accelerate by the end of last summer \u2013 though they were notably reversed in March of this year in response to the banking crisis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"560\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Picture10-1100x560.png\" alt=\"Federal Reserve Balance Sheet total assets and securities holdings\" class=\"wp-image-193374 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Picture10-1100x560.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Picture10-700x357.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Picture10-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Picture10-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Picture10-1536x783.png 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Picture10-2048x1043.png 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px;

Rates are now well above the pre-Covid 1.75%, but while the Fed\u2019s balance sheet has shrunk significantly from its peak, it is still over double its level from early 2020.&nbsp; Yet it would be unrealistic to expect the Fed to move even more aggressively than it has.&nbsp; Remember, the banking system nearly broke just a few months ago &#8211; and counterintuitively became a temporary source of monetary expansion that ended up benefiting stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the recession part of that parlay: it\u2019s too early to say, but it is reasonable to wonder where it is.&nbsp; The bond market, through an inverted yield curve, has been pricing in recession fears for months.&nbsp; After today\u2019s positive reaction to CPI, the 2-10 inversion is now about 88 basis points.&nbsp; Even though it is below the recent highs, it remains at levels that still show significant economic concerns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet the relationship between unemployment and interest rates that is theorized by the Phillips Curve appears to be tenuous at best.&nbsp; Using conventional economic theories, the combination of rapid rate hikes and a record low unemployment rate would have been a long-odds parlay on its own.&nbsp; It is indeed possible that there is a delay in the transmission mechanism between rates and employment, but it is also quite possible, if not likely, that the relationship between the two is simply insignificant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recession might arrive if, as noted, the relationship between rates and unemployment is simply delayed.&nbsp; Another factor could be the impending end of the student debt repayment moratorium.&nbsp; Younger people (for the most part) have enjoyed the freedom to spend or invest money that would otherwise have gone to debt repayment.&nbsp; That, unfortunately, ends within a couple of months.&nbsp; And that money must come from somewhere, either out of discretionary spending, or savings and investments.&nbsp; The former would have economic ramifications, the latter would have market ramifications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it is too early to proclaim that the equity market\u2019s major parlay bet has fully realized.&nbsp; But it doesn\u2019t matter.&nbsp; Those who put it on can collect their winnings if they so choose, or let it continue to ride if they\u2019d prefer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last summer we wrote that the market seemed to be pricing in a scenario that was essentially a long-shot parlay bet.
