Chris reacts to Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell's Economic Club of Chicago speech, where Powell warned that Trump's tariffs could spark temporary or persistent inflation and even stagflation, straining the Fed's dual mandate of price stability and full employment. Markowski critiques the uncertainty around a 90-day tariff pause, questions June rate cut expectations, and highlights the market's sell-off, slamming Trump's pressure on the Fed as reckless while noting Powell's commitment to anchoring long-term inflation expectations. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

As 2024 comes to a close, the Money Wise guys take a closer look at the year's final numbers and a challenging December for the markets. The Dow Jones fell 260 points (-0.6%), the S&P 500 dropped 28 points (-0.5%), and the NASDAQ declined 100 points (-0.5%) for the week. Despite the weak December performance—attributed to Federal Reserve actions dampening the anticipated "Santa Claus rally"—2024 was an outstanding year for investors, with the Dow gaining 14.99%, the S&P 500 rising 25.02%, and the NASDAQ climbing 29.57% (including dividends). The discussion focuses on the impact of Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell's policies, particularly the increase in bond yields, which saw the 10-year Treasury rise from 3.87% to 4.58% over the year. The guys highlight the uneven performance within the bond market, where shorter-duration bonds outperformed their longer-duration counterparts. Target-date funds and longer-maturity bonds faced a tough fourth quarter due to rising interest rates but still managed solid annual returns. While the Fed's December actions tempered the year-end rally, the guys emphasize the strong returns for diversified portfolios in 2024 and tease predictions for 2025 in an upcoming episode.  The Impact of Rising Bond Yields Rising bond yields in 2024 had a significant impact on the financial markets, with the 10-year Treasury yield increasing by 71 basis points, from 3.87% to 4.58%. This shift, driven by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and persistent inflation concerns, created challenges for certain segments of the bond market. Short-term and intermediate-term bonds performed relatively well, but longer-duration bonds and funds, such as target-date portfolios, experienced negative returns in the fourth quarter due to their sensitivity to rising rates. Overall, the bond market delivered modest annual returns, with the Bloomberg Aggregate Index gaining just 1.25%, underscoring the importance of managing duration in a rising yield environment.

The Federal Reserve cut its prime lending rate again, this time by a quarter point. The economy, higher costs of living and high housing prices directly affected by these rates are a big reason Donald Trump won the election.

OptionsDesk's Sebastian Blanco speaks to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the strong performance of US equities, particularly noting the S&P 500 reaching an all-time high, supported by a more than 50% rise in ARM's stock following its earnings announcement. The tech sector, in particular, has outperformed expectations, leading to a surge in the equity market despite ongoing uncertainties in bond markets amid election years in both the US and the UK. Further, Blanco discussed upcoming economic data releases, including CPI and GDP figures in the UK and inflation data in the US, which are anticipated to influence interest rate expectations. The US is expected to see an annual CPI of 2.9%, with Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell dismissing hopes for a March rate cut but the futures market forecasting a significant chance of a rate hike in May. In contrast, the UK faces higher-than-expected inflation, with consumer prices projected to rise to 4.2%, potentially affecting Bank of England rate decisions and market expectations. Blanco suggested that these economic indicators will be crucial in shaping the financial landscape, particularly in terms of interest rates and equity market performance. ‌ #FinanceNews #EquityMarkets #InflationData #InterestRates #USStockMarket #UKFinance #EconomicIndicators #S&P500 #TechSector #InvestmentAnalysis #FederalReserve #BankOfEngland #CPI #GDP #MarketTrends #Optionsdesk #FinancialInsights #EconomicForecast #RateHike #EquityPullback #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

At this year's Jackson Hole meeting Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell has assured the U.S. that the central bank will continue hiking interest rates to ease inflation, even if it prompts an economic slowdown.

Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell says he thinks there's a good chance for a "soft-ish" landing: taming inflation without pushing the economy into recession. But how difficult will that be? Economist Jason Furman joins Josh to talk about this challenge and what might be needed if the Fed’s rate hikes over the next few months prove to be far from enough — plus, how student debt cancellation could exacerbate inflation. Jason talks about the clear path ahead for the Fed in the short term, and he recounts lessons learned from the Obama administration's attempt to change the tax status of 529 college savings plans.Become a subscriber to Very Serious and join the conversation about this podcast episode at joshbarro.com.We are now offering episode transcripts.
