The Market Knows Not What it Wants (June 17 Market Recap)

June 18, 2022

The Market Knows Not What it Wants (June 17 Market Recap)

The Market Knows Not What it Wants 

Indices 

Dow 29,888 (1504) or (4.8%) 

Nasdaq 10,798 (542) or (4.8%) 

S&P 3,674 (226) or (5.8%)

If you know of any friends or family members who could benefit from our services and these types of communiques during these unique times, we are accepting new clients and offer a complimentary one-hour review. 

The Fed, the Fed and Nothing but the Fed 

The only story this week was the Fed and their not so surprising 75 basis points (bp) rate hike, the largest such hike since 1994. The markets sold off early in the week as rumors circulated that the Fed would raise rates by 75 bp due to the previous Friday’s hot Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. When that came to pass on Wednesday, the markets seemed to approve of the tough medicine being prescribed by the central bank and rallied, only to reconsider and sell off strongly on Thursday and Friday as fears of a recession weighed on all asset classes, even previously untouchable crude oil prices (West Texas Intermediary, WTI). WTI dipped to its lowest level since May 12. 

Economic Data Still Slowing 

All the economic data is still slowing and thus giving credence to recession fears. This week’s tally… 

  • Jobless claims printed at 229,000 claims vs April 7th’s record low 166,000 claims. 
  • May Retail sales missed expectations. 
  • June Empire State Manufacturing was negative again. 
  • June Philadelphia Federal Manufacturing Index was negative. 
  • May Leading Economic Indicators was negative for the second consecutive month. 

Next Week 

Markets are closed on Monday in observance of Juneteenth. The balance of the week is light on economic data points. May Existing and New Home Sales figures are released on Tuesday and Thursday respectively with both numbers expected to decline substantially month over month (down 3.5% and 1.0% respectively). Thursday will be busy with Initial Jobless Claims as usual, the first glance at June U.S. Manufacturing and Services PMI, as well as final June University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment. Several Fed Presidents are scheduled to speak during the week and Fed Chair Jerome Powell with testify in front of Senate and House committees. 

Economic Calendar 

  • Monday – Markets are closed in observance of Juneteenth. 
  • Tuesday – May Existing Home Sales. 
  • Wednesday – N/A 
  • Thursday – Initial Jobless Claims, June S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI (flash), June S&P Global U.S. Services PMI (flash), June University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment (final). 
  • Friday – May New Home Sales.
