But here is the crazy part that is unique to megacap tech stocks: that 10% jump means that the combination of GOOG and GOOGL added about $200 billion to its market capitalization today.&nbsp; For some perspective, that\u2019s roughly the market cap of Disney (DIS) or McDonald\u2019s (MCD).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps we should start measuring these big moves in terms of MCDs.&nbsp; When META rallied 20% after its Q4 report in February, it added about 1 MCD to its market cap.&nbsp; Yesterday, when it fell -10.5%, it lost about $100 billion, or about half an MCD, or about two Super Micro Computers (SMCI).&nbsp; We can play around with the yardstick, but I hope you get the point.&nbsp; The megacap stocks are so enormous that when they have significant moves, they can swing their market caps in magnitudes of other major companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other item we touched upon yesterday was the bond market\u2019s seemingly perplexing reaction to a significantly weaker than expected Q1 GDP report.&nbsp; The reading of +1.6% was far below both the 2.5% consensus and last quarter\u2019s 3.4%.&nbsp; In theory, bond yields should fall on signs of a weaker economy.&nbsp; But instead, they rose because the Core PCE Price Index rose 3.7% on a quarterly basis, above the 3.4% consensus and last quarter\u2019s 2.0%.&nbsp; Higher than expected prices, combined with weaker than expected economic growth raised fears of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/s\/stagflation.asp\">stagflation<\/a>.&nbsp; That is a nasty combination, and certainly unfriendly for markets.&nbsp; A slower economy is a headwind for corporate earnings while the sticky inflation makes it difficult, if not impossible, for central banks to cut rates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering that <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/clues-to-solving-the-markets-key-contradiction\/\">we came into the year<\/a> with market expectations for the mutually exclusive combination of a solid economy and several rate cuts, it was encouraging to see stock prices rise as economic health diminished both the need for and likelihood for those cuts.&nbsp; Now we may find ourselves in the opposite situation, which is unfortunately quite possible.&nbsp; Today\u2019s PCE Core Deflator report, the Fed\u2019s preferred inflation measure, eased some, but hardly all of those concerns when the monthly reading showed the expected +0.3% rise.&nbsp; The annual increase was 2.8%, slightly above the +2.7% that was expected, but today\u2019s monthly reading means that when we annualized the most recent three months, a measure that many economists prefer, it shows an increase of +3.6%.&nbsp; For those keeping score, that\u2019s substantially above the Fed\u2019s 2% inflation target.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week\u2019s FOMC meeting will give us a better sense of the Federal Reserve\u2019s intentions.\u00a0 As of now, there is almost no expectation for a rate move, while the likelihood for June is down to 12.5% according to Fed Funds futures.\u00a0 A full cut isn\u2019t priced in until November, after the upcoming election.\u00a0 Things have changed in the past few months, but the tone of the equity market mostly has not.\u00a0 Good earnings from key companies can forestall changes in sentiment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story this morning is clearly the stunning rise in the price of Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL).
