Although IBKR has edited for clarity no material changes have been made<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to today&#8217;s podcast. So on Friday, Jerome Powell delivered his annual speech in Wyoming and seemingly opened the door to an interest rate cut at the September FOMC. Joining me today is Chief Market Strategist here at InteractiveBrokers.com, Steve Sosnick. Steve, I want to dive into the speech to understand the enthusiasm surrounding it, but also to consider how investors have digested Powell&#8217;s remarks in the aftermath. So what changed?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steve-sosnick\"><strong>Steve Sosnick<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say the thing that changed in Powell&#8217;s speech is\u2026 I don\u2019t know whether to say he\u2019s looking at the glass half full or half empty. Basically, instead of saying that the onus is on the data to justify an interest rate cut, it\u2019s now, \u201cWe\u2019re probably going to cut rates unless the data tells us otherwise.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s really the only real difference. It\u2019s interesting because rate cut expectations definitely rose on Friday, but not to the level they were just a little over a week ago. A week ago it was a dead certainty that rates would get cut, and actually the CME futures were pricing in a decent likelihood for something greater than a cut. It was like 105%. The ForecastX markets never got quite that exuberant, but it\u2019s interesting. To me, this says more about market psychology than what Powell actually said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you break apart the two facets of his speech:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We\u2019re going to lean toward a rate cut as opposed to away from it. That was, in many ways, already priced in.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What got buried was the FOMC statement being changed to say that the inflation target is 2%. Not a little more than 2%, not 2.5, not 2.7. It\u2019s 2.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>So at the same time, he was preaching uncertainty about inflation concerns, yet that\u2019s not what the market wanted to hear. Once again, he was Goldilocks in a suit\u2014 not too hot, not too cold. But the market definitely wanted to hear the parts it liked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-0\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you think he changed his mind about being tough on inflation or not?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steve-sosnick-0\"><strong>Steve Sosnick<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not if they made the FOMC statement read that way. And we\u2019re going to find out very soon, because the core PCE Deflator comes out on Friday. Bear with me one second, I have it up on another screen. The number the market expectation is pricing in is about a 0.3% rise this month, on a month-over-month basis. That would get us to about a 2.9% annualized rate. Clearly, 2.9 is above 2.\u00a0The other thing that\u2019s concerning is that each of the last three monthly core PCE readings were higher than the month before. So it\u2019s trending in the wrong direction. And it\u2019s also possible\u2014if not likely\u2014that some of the pressure is coming from services, and that\u2019s not tariff-related. Remember, we have yet to really see the effect of the tariffs. They\u2019ve only been in full effect for just over two weeks now, and a lot of inventory accumulation was done earlier to try to avoid the tariff effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t think the Fed has let up on its inflation targets. To me, that provides a bit of a risk as we go into Friday, because if that number comes in high\u2026 The market will probably be okay with \u201cinline,\u201d because \u201cinline\u201d has been more than good enough to get this market moving. But we\u2019ve already started to see some pushback from a couple of Fed governors\u2014Beth Hammack among others, regional Fed presidents, etc.\u00a0So I think the Fed is going to be watching inflation just as closely as they ever were.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-1\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So Steve, define the stock market\u2019s reaction. Some sectors liked it, and some sectors didn\u2019t. Broadly, it was taken very well. But what sectors did well and what didn\u2019t?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steve-sosnick-1\"><strong>Steve Sosnick<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Small caps were the real leaders, because small caps have been this \u201chopium trade\u201d for months, if not years. It\u2019s a constant question I get: \u201cAre small caps poised to outperform?\u201d My frequent answer is that they either need really low interest rates or a really strong economy to get going. The economy\u2019s strong enough, but not strong enough for a good portion of the Russell 2000, which is unprofitable. Rates are not low enough for people to just throw their money at anything\u2014although there have been plenty of instances of that anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the other things I say is I hate shorting the Russell 2000, because the total market cap of the Russell 2000 fits neatly into Nvidia or Microsoft or some of these larger companies. To the extent that they can get moving on something, yeah. But do I think it\u2019s sustainable? Time will tell.\u00a0I think what we saw Friday was more of what I\u2019ve been calling the \u201cratchet effect\u201d in markets. We go down slowly when we go down. When we do have down days\u2014as rare as they seem\u2014they tend not to be of a huge magnitude. But when we go up, we go up big. So we have this big up move, then ratchet lower, then up again. It\u2019s akin to turning a ratchet.\u00a0Fridays are the ultimate ratchet days because not only do you have the usual daily expirations in major indices and ETFs, you also have weekly options expiring for over 600 big companies and other decent-sized ETFs. So it\u2019s much easier to get these things running on a Friday. I don\u2019t think it was a coincidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing to keep in mind: we had actually seen what this market construes as risk aversion. Despite that enormous rally on Friday, we were up only 0.3% on the week. As we\u2019re taping this, we\u2019ve given back some of that gain\u2014almost all of it in the pre-market. We\u2019ve run hard, but ultimately we\u2019re running hard to stay in place.\u00a0Once again, I\u2019m keeping a close eye on the bond market\u2014specifically the twos-tens spread. The twos are pricing in rate cuts. The tens would be pricing in inflation expectations. On Friday, the twos fell 11 basis points, the tens fell 7, and the thirties fell 4. That\u2019s a steepening of the yield curve.\u00a0That may come back to earth a little if the market decides the Fed isn\u2019t willing to throw inflation concerns to the wind. But that remains a primary tell for the stock market as a whole, because it reflects what inflation fears are embedded.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-2\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve, you said that the early morning US action has taken back a little bit. What has been the follow-through response around the global markets to Powell&#8217;s discussion on Friday?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steve-sosnick-2\"><strong>Steve Sosnick<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The global markets liked it. We saw big rallies in most of Asia. The US does drive the bus. I&#8217;m just gonna turn over the other screen. We did see a little bit of a pullback in Europe, but I don\u2019t think it affects Europe all that much. They\u2019ve got their own issues going on. But Asia took it really well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I look across my screen\u2014Australia modestly up. It was mostly in China, but the Nii was up a little, less than half a percent. So in general, overseas markets have a bit more of a sober view about this type of stuff. They\u2019re not caught up in the euphoria. They\u2019re not caught up in chasing short-dated rallies.\u00a0On the other hand, European and Asian markets have been doing quite well this year. So it\u2019s okay if they don\u2019t necessarily follow through with euphoria, because they\u2019ve been doing so well as the year\u2019s progressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-3\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So earnings have been very good so far this season, and we\u2019re close\u2014and this is Nvidia. What are your thoughts on what we might hear from Nvidia this week, Steve?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steve-sosnick-3\"><strong>Steve Sosnick<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, I\u2019m just pulling up some of my notes on that. If you gimme one sec. Basically, Nvidia to me is the single most important stock. I\u2019m not breaking news here. Nvidia is by far the most important stock in the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not only the biggest stock, meaning it has the highest weight in the S&amp;P 500, the NASDAQ 100, etc. But psychologically its importance is even greater than that. It\u2019s perpetually among the most actively traded stocks\u2014certainly always one of the most actively traded here on our platform.\u00a0More importantly, from a psychological viewpoint, this whole bull market we\u2019ve been in since late 2022 has been powered by enthusiasm for artificial intelligence. And there is no bigger poster child for artificial intelligence than Nvidia. There\u2019s been no bigger beneficiary. There\u2019s been no bigger driving force.\u00a0At some point, it seems logical that the phenomenal growth will need to take a bit of a breather as we digest all this. Now, it\u2019s not clear when, because we\u2019ve heard about Meta and some other companies just continuing to fire money at AI. Although maybe there\u2019s a little bit of a breather, because at least Meta, having committed $10 billion more in capital spending, maybe isn\u2019t just throwing NFL quarterback\u2013size pay packages at AI developers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Nvidia sees some sort of slowdown\u2014it doesn\u2019t have to be negative\u2014even if they just say the rate of growth is tapering off, the first derivative doesn\u2019t have to turn negative for people to freak out. The second derivative\u2014the rate of change in that growth\u2014if that starts to slow, that could get people a bit spooked.\u00a0As of now, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m not an Nvidia analyst. The market\u2019s pricing in roughly a 6% move for the stock post-earnings, which is maybe a little light, but not terrible. Then again, with high-volatility stocks, a lot of people tend to wait to close in. The higher the volatility, the faster the decay\u2014so people don\u2019t want the decay. And that affects the pricing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will be doing a piece later this week with more detail about what markets are expecting for Nvidia earnings. But I think right now, if it goes well, then the AI-driven rally can continue. If it goes poorly\u2026 At this point, beating on revenues and earnings is a necessary case for a rally, but not a sufficient case. It\u2019s about guidance.\u00a0Particularly in the case of Nvidia, where there are such lofty expectations priced in, they have to meet them. If they do\u2014carry on. If they don\u2019t, you may want to check how much risk you\u2019re taking going into those numbers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-4\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep calm and carry on is the message there from Chief Market Strategist Steve Sosnick here at Interactive Brokers.
