This month is typical. Some may think it\u2019s October because of the crashes that month in 1929 and 1987. Only a few years into my Wall Street career, I returned home on October 19<sup>th<\/sup>, 1987, and solemnly warned my wife that a depression was coming. She scoffed that it was a problem for Wall Street not Main Street, and thus emboldened has ever since retained modest skepticism about my market prognostications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth quarter historically offers the best returns. It\u2019s easy to go down a rabbit warren of meaningless relationships with seasonal patterns. A wet weekend ten days ago didn\u2019t mean golf would be rained out this past weekend, even though it was. One quarter of the four is going to be the best. Since 1980 the 1.6% average fourth quarter return follows the seasonally weakest third quarter of 0.3%. The relationship has persisted for over a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-1-1030x579-1.jpg\" alt=\"S&amp;P 500 average monthly return 1980 - 2022\" class=\"wp-image-196798 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image September 27 2023 1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-1-1030x579-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-1-1030x579-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-1-1030x579-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-1-1030x579-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-1-1030x579.jpg\"><\/a>MLPs used to have a distinct quarterly seasonal pattern around distribution dates. MLP buyers are often yield-driven and like those quarterly payments. K1s also induce sales before year-end and purchases right after, in both cases to avoid a K-1 for just a few weeks of January (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/why-mlps-make-a-great-christmas-present\">Why MLPs Make a Great Christmas Present<\/a>). Fewer MLPs are not just causing rebalancing challenges for Alerian-linked products (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/alerian-still-clinging-on\">Alerian Still Clinging On<\/a>). They\u2019re also making the seasonals less pronounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More interesting is whether the approaching fourth quarter will hew to the historical pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-2-1030x579-1.jpg\" alt=\"S&amp;P 500 average quarterly return 1980 - 2022\" class=\"wp-image-196797 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image September 27 2023 2\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-2-1030x579-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-2-1030x579-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-2-1030x579-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-2-1030x579-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-2-1030x579.jpg\"><\/a>Recently I switched to Bloomberg TV from CNBC as my background noise of market commentary. I chose substance over entertainment. All day long executives and market participants are discussing interest rates and crude oil. Both are responsible for September\u2019s weak equity market performance, and the energy sector\u2019s resurgence. The macro outlook always offers reasons to worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-3-1030x579-1.jpg\" alt=\"US Treasury and TIPs yields, and implied inflation\" class=\"wp-image-196796 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image September 27 2023 3\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-3-1030x579-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-3-1030x579-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-3-1030x579-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-3-1030x579-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Blog-Image-September-27-2023-3-1030x579.jpg\"><\/a>We\u2019ve stopped worrying about the Fed causing a recession (see Jay Powell\u2019s Victory Lap). With the economy coping well with 4.5% ten year treasury yields, there\u2019s concern that rates will remain higher for longer.

Consequently, real yields have breached 2%. Early last year they were negative. Bonds are a better investment than they\u2019ve been for years, though to this writer still inadequate to compensate for our fiscal outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crude oil is moving steadily higher, causing some economists to worry that this will pressure consumers\u2019 disposable income. The dismal science usually sees problems. We energy investors are not alone in liking the rally in crude (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/the-super-cycle-or-peak-oil\">The Super Cycle Or Peak Oil?<\/a>). At the margin it should boost demand for electric vehicles. Higher oil and gas prices support a faster energy transition. Sincere climate extremists, if there are any, should rejoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occidental (OXY) CEO Vicky Holub told Bloomberg TV she saw no evidence of demand destruction in response to rising oil. JPMorgan sees OXY keeping capex flat next year versus this, and overall is forecasting a 7% annual decline in E&amp;P drilling budgets. They are better positioned than the International Energy Agency to have an informed opinion on the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the coming quarter follows the seasonal pattern of providing the year\u2019s best return, perhaps it\u2019ll be because the challenges caused by rising rates and oil prices will not be enough to derail the US economy. They are \u201cknown knowns\u201d to partially quote former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. And if you find those headwinds leave you nervous about the broader market, you\u2019ll find that midstream energy infrastructure has exhibited more robust performance in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley all considered the impact of the shrinking MLP universe on Alerian\u2019s indices and the funds and products that are linked.&nbsp;<em>The cost of running a non-RIC-compliant dedicated MLP fund in a RIC structure (corporate taxation) becomes increasingly difficult to justify with a smaller universe of stocks&nbsp;<\/em>(Morgan Stanley).&nbsp;<em>As more and more large-cap MLPs get eliminated from the indices, the Alerian becomes further imbalanced&nbsp;<\/em>(Wells Fargo)<em>. We would not be surprised to see a methodology change emerge again, potentially lifting the maximum ceiling weight to 15%<\/em>&nbsp;(JPMorgan).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have written at length about the contradictions of owning a portfolio of 100% MLPs in a taxable, non-RIC compliant \u201840 Act fund, so have nothing new to add. Holders of such funds will eventually conclude they shouldn\u2019t have been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted September 27, 2023 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/will-fall-seasonals-cause-the-market-to-rise\">Will Fall Seasonals Cause The Market To Rise?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important Disclosures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The information provided is for informational purposes only and investors should determine for themselves whether a particular service, security or product is suitable for their investment needs.
