Growth concerns weigh once again
Stock markets are back in the red on Tuesday, with US futures also pointing to a negative start on Wall Street in a couple of hours. These wild swings from one day to the next have become the norm as investors try to pick the bottom in the markets only to be dealt another blow from one negative headline or another. And they continue to come thick and fast, leaving equity markets vulnerable to further drops. Pessimistic Chinese growth forecasts and a profit and revenue warning from Snap appear to

Lagarde signals summer hikes
The week has started on a positive note, with investors having another stab at buying the dip following a further wave of selling in recent sessions. The S&P 500 joining the Nasdaq in bear market territory naturally has everyone wondering whether the market has bottomed. It's not been the best year for dip buyers but equity markets are now trading at such a discount from their highs that it's natural for investors to be asking the question. The economic headwinds remain a major concern though an

US Close - S&P 500 enters bear market, Fading Rallies, Deere shares hit hard, Footlocker rallies, Oil rises, Gold steady, Bitcoin lower
At the beginning of the year, no one thought that the S&P 500 was headed to bear market territory, but persistent inflation, another Fed policy mistake, and recession fears have unnerved investors. The S&P 500 has lost over 20% of its value from the January high and it seems that that technical selling will only accelerate.  The way macro backdrop is unfolding, it seems traders will continue to fade any rallies that emerge until the Fed starts to show signs that they are worried about financial

Recovering into the weekend
Equity markets are back in positive territory on Friday but I'm struggling to get too excited by the moves we see going into the weekend. The rebound may partly reflect the scale of the declines we've seen in the previous couple of sessions, while the cut to the five-year loan prime rate in China may also be giving global markets a bit of a lift. But ultimately, very little has changed and I expect that will continue to hold these markets back. The rate cut announced by the PBOC is obviously goo

US Close - Stocks near bear market, Oil higher on supply concerns, Gold pops, Bitcoin stabilizes
US stocks edged lower as Wall Street became more focused over a deteriorating growth outlook that could see stubbornly high pricing pressures for the Fed into a much more aggressive tightening cycle. It doesn’t seem like we will see a deceleration in pricing pressures and that has many traders worried that the Fed will send the economy into a recession.  Right now markets are functioning properly but if we see another 5% decline with stocks, credit conditions will worsen and that could provide t

Another turbulent day
It's been another turbulent session after stock markets turned sharply lower on Wednesday as investors fret over the outlook for the economy this year. Results from Walmart and Target this week have brought into sharp focus the plight facing companies and consumers as inflation begins to bite. And that's in a country that is still performing relatively strongly with a consumer that still has plenty of savings built up over the last couple of years.

Inflation hits 40-year high
European equity markets are a little flat on Wednesday, with inflation data this morning once again offering a reminder of the struggles that lie ahead. Not that we need reminding given all of the data we've seen recently. And then there are the gloomy forecasts from central banks, with even the Fed now targeting a softish landing which feels very much like the stage before a mild recession.

US stocks are rallying as traders got to digest a steady stream of positive news across the world. ​ Turnaround Tuesday started when China took the first steps to lockdown exit in Shanghai and as the nation’s top regulators discussed easing its regulatory crackdown. ​ The US session got started with big retail earnings that suggest the consumer is still strong and showed surprisingly underlying strength within the home improvement category.

Rebound continues
Stock markets are in positive territory once more on Tuesday as investors continue to see value after a substantial sell-off in recent weeks. I'm not particularly convinced about the sustainability of such a move against the backdrop of high inflation, much higher interest rates and probable recessions but there's no doubting that the scale of the declines recently was bound to attract some back in. There's plenty of economic data and central bank speak to come this week that could easily make i

US Close - Mixed start for stocks, Empire disappoints, Oil rallies, Gold rebounds, Bitcoin struggles
US stocks traded mix as investors assess soft Chinese and US data and the potential for stagflation risks and a much sooner recession.  The S&P 500 is trying to hold onto the 4,000 level as a six-week decline seems a bit overdone. There is a lot of value on the table right now and some investors are starting to look at a steady stream of weaker-than-expected economic data as a likely catalyst that will force central bankers to ease up on the hawkish talk.  Empire The Empire State index posted a

Further pressure on central banks
It's been a relatively calm start to trading this week, with Europe a mixed bag at the close and the US a little lower. The weaker Chinese figures overnight will be of some concern at a time of slowing economic activity around the world. Still, as has been the case so often in recent years, the lockdowns will have heavily distorted the data.

Week Ahead – Wall Street Whipsawed
It was a tremendous week of market volatility for every asset class on Wall Street.  It is still all about inflation and what will be the reaction from central banks.  A challenging inflation and growth mix have driven investor concerns that the Fed won’t be able to deliver a soft landing.

At first, it looked like inflation broke the S&P 500’s back as investors sold everything following across the board hot beats with every inflation headline, as the initial take was that the Fed will need to do more to fight inflation. ​ Today’s market reaction to the inflation report will make it hard to attract any investor who is still on the sidelines. ​ The risks on Wall Street are growing and now include a Fed policy mistake, liquidity and credit risks, and growth concerns.

Cautious optimism
Stock markets are pushing cautiously higher again on Wednesday as investors await a huge inflation report from the US ahead of the open on Wall Street. The report is expected to be the first that will indicate inflation has peaked and a sharp decline is underway. That doesn't mean inflation is expected to return to target any time soon but it will come as a massive relief to investors, households and businesses alike after months of watching price pressures accelerate higher. The fear is that th
