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-jeff-praissman-nbsp\"><strong>Jeff Praissman<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi everyone. This is Jeff Praissman with the Interactive Brokers Podcast. It&#8217;s my pleasure to welcome back to the podcast studio Scott Bauer from Prosper Trading Academy. Hey Scott, how are you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scott-bauer-nbsp\"><strong>Scott Bauer<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff, we&#8217;re hanging in there. There&#8217;s some concern out there, but everything is good and we&#8217;re hanging in there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jeff-praissman-nbsp-0\"><strong>Jeff Praissman<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, I was gonna say it&#8217;s been a rough week for the market, right? With the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq falling below their 50-day moving average for, I think, the first time in over 130 trading days. The Dow Industrials experienced their worst three-day drop last week since April. Scott, is all this tech-related, or are there other sectors or factors contributing to the drop?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scott-bauer-nbsp-0\"><strong>Scott Bauer<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Certainly tech is a major part of this because of the concern about AI valuations. But if we dig a little bit deeper, we look at some of the consumer-type stocks, retail, and payment processors\u2014those spaces are not doing well either.\u00a0I think that is really contributing to the overall, let&#8217;s call it\u2014not bearish sentiment, but some of the negative sentiment that&#8217;s out there. And then, of course, you get Target coming out and saying, \u201cOh boy, we&#8217;re really concerned about the holidays coming up here.\u201d\u00a0But I think we still all have to keep in mind, Jeff, that we&#8217;re still, what, 3% off the top of the market here. So I think we have to keep that in check.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jeff-praissman-nbsp-1\"><strong>Jeff Praissman<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, I mean, when you take a step back and actually look at the way the market is overall, it looks pretty good. There seems to be a little\u2014I don&#8217;t wanna say controversy within the Fed\u2014but a little disagreement. The Fed&#8217;s Vice Chair Philip Jefferson came out backing lowering rates slowly.\u00a0And there&#8217;s obviously some people on the opposite side of that. How are bonds dealing in this environment, and how have they performed overall for the year?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scott-bauer-nbsp-1\"><strong>Scott Bauer<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s so interesting because if you look at the 10-year, since the end of October\u2014two to three weeks or so\u2014we saw the 10-year rally above 4.15, down from where it was under 4%. Now it&#8217;s just kind of hovering around that 4.10 to 4.12 area. I&#8217;d say there&#8217;s a lot of jitters out there based on the daily rhetoric, the daily news flow from the Fed.\u00a0If you go back a year, to the beginning of December last year, the 10-year is almost in the exact same place as it was at this time last year. So I think some of the volatility in the bond market has calmed down a little bit, but the anticipation of what the Fed is going to do could be a very big precursor to maybe an outsized move.\u00a0We&#8217;ve seen when the Fed has recently cut, the 10-year really sold off and rates went higher a bit. So I think there&#8217;s still so much\u2014as Jefferson said\u2014some people want to lower rates slowly, some are more in the camp of \u201cwe gotta cut again in December.\u201d\u00a0And that&#8217;s so reflective in the market: two weeks ago, 90-plus percent thought they were gonna cut in December. Now it&#8217;s basically 50-50.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jeff-praissman-nbsp-2\"><strong>Jeff Praissman<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And next week we have a shortened week. We have off for Thanksgiving, and a half-day Friday. We kind of touched on this last week in our podcast, but plenty of data coming out\u2014just in housing alone. We&#8217;ve got the cost of housing index in the next few days, the housing market index (HMI), revised building permits, and residential sales. What effect could this have on the market?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scott-bauer-nbsp-2\"><strong>Scott Bauer<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, back in the days of trading down on the floor\u2014which wasn&#8217;t that long ago\u2014this was one of my favorite weeks of the year because a lot of traders would take off. Volumes were typically lighter, which meant spreads were a little bit wider and a little bit more volatility because of that.\u00a0But I think it may be different next week because of the deluge of news, the economic data that we&#8217;re going to get. You&#8217;re gonna have a lot more people\u2014not just traders on the floor but institutions\u2014really focusing in on that data next week. So I think we could see some actual heightened volumes next week because of the anticipation of all this data coming out.\u00a0And we have to remember, markets are closed on Thursday and only a half-day on Friday. So that could add to some of the volatility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jeff-praissman-nbsp-3\"><strong>Jeff Praissman<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And piling on this economic data, that short week we actually have several companies releasing earnings as well. Obviously we have Nvidia today, tomorrow we have Walmart and Intuit, BJ&#8217;s Friday, and Alibaba next Tuesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of retail companies too, with Walmart and BJ&#8217;s. How could this\u2014kind of to your point\u2014mean this may not be a quiet holiday for any of these traders?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scott-bauer-nbsp-3\"><strong>Scott Bauer<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not at all. Everyone obviously is looking at Nvidia earnings, which absolutely can be a big mover to the market. But I think Walmart&#8217;s really important, especially after what we heard out of Target. Let&#8217;s see what they have to say because Target was pretty downbeat on the consumer.\u00a0If Walmart has that same kind of guidance or outlook, that could be very troublesome. I don&#8217;t expect that they will\u2014I really don&#8217;t. I think Walmart can be a big boon off of the Target news here. But yes, there is no shortage of events coming up. Most of these companies, like you said\u2014the retail\u2014this could be a good indicator of how the consumer approaches Black Friday and the holiday season next week.\u00a0Hopefully this will all be on an upbeat note, but yes, there&#8217;s a lot of news coming out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jeff-praissman-nbsp-4\"><strong>Jeff Praissman<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, I could definitely see a scenario where a lot of those Target shoppers are going to Walmart instead. I think that&#8217;s a very realistic potential.\u00a0Scott, this has been great. As always, love having you come by the studio.
