This morning, we are seeing equity markets meander after a big slug of economic data.  The key reports showed that retail sales fell more than expected.  The headline number fell -0.8% when -0.2% was expected, and the Control Group[i]<\/a> fell -0.4%, versus the +0.2% consensus.  Bonds initially rallied by about 5 basis points, but those gains had largely evaporated shortly before noon.  Stocks initially rallied too, but those gains also faded.  That leads us to wonder whether stocks were simply following bonds or genuinely rooting for bad news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simple answer is that stocks tend to follow bonds in the short term.  All things being equal, lower bond yields are favorable for share prices.  We can debate whether that is more likely the result of bonds offering a less attractive alternative for stocks when yields decline, or that lower rates increase the net present value of a company\u2019s future earnings, or simply because higher bond prices show improving market psychology.  At any given moment it can be any or all of those factors.  Regardless, it is clear that many traders, whether human or algorithmic, are conditioned to buy stocks when yields decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our current mindset, when traders are hopeful about upcoming rate cuts, bad news can be good if it is likely to increase the Federal Reserve\u2019s willingness to act.  The problem with today\u2019s numbers is that they didn\u2019t change the futures market\u2019s probabilities for cuts in the near term.  We still see about 11% for March, 40% for May, 100% for June and between 3-4 cuts for 2024.  If neither short-term nor long-term rates show much of a reaction to subpar economic news, then that news is simply unfavorable for stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday we saw what happened when a set of bad economic news changed the perception<\/a> about the path of rate cuts.  Major indices fell sharply, and volatility jumped.  But traders\u2019 FOMO-filled mentality caused dip buyers to step in.  On Tuesday, the first set of buyers arrived in Nvidia (NVDA) about an hour after the open, and then we saw major indices recoup about 1\/3 of their losses thanks to a furious rally in the last hour of the day.  Yesterday we saw the buying continue, abetted heavily by a large, mysterious rally just before the close.  It shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that on balance we are seeing more stocks rise than fall today despite the retail sales report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, the rule of thumb should be \u201cthe trend is your friend.\u201d  Heck, that\u2019s decent advice most of the time, but it\u2019s especially relevant when we are in the midst of a major uptrend.  In an environment like this, markets will react to major pieces of negative news but largely ignore minor items that don\u2019t really affect the big picture.  The CPI report was one of those items because it changed perceptions about the timing and likelihood of rate cuts.  On Monday we posited that NVDA earnings could be a similar catalyst<\/a> if they upend investors\u2019 incredibly rosy outlook for all things related to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad news can indeed be really bad.\u00a0 But in this environment, it needs to be significant enough to change deeply held bullishness and FOMO for the bad news to matter much.\u00a0 Otherwise it simply fades into the background amidst the positive psychology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
