When something falls by 2% one day and rallies by 2% the next, it’s still not completely back to where it was. A $100 stock that falls 2% is now worth $98. If that stock then rallies 2%, it’s worth $99.90. Yes, we can argue over 10 cents. But the fact is, it needs to rally slightly more than 2% to be back to $100.  With that said, look at the Industrials and what the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI) just did, advises Kenny Polcari, chief market strategist at SlateStone Wealth.

Fed heads are tripping over each other to convince us and the markets that maybe they have done enough for now and that maybe we are in official “pause” mode. But while I now think that the Fed will pause (not that that means I agree with that decision), I remain in the higher for longer camp with regards to interest rates, explains Kenny Polcari, chief market strategist at SlateStone Wealth.
So, after all the hype, all the analysis, and all the angst – what did the CPI do? Well, it was up. It was up on the top line and it was up when you take out all the volatile elements like food and energy. But the hotter CPI figure did little to rattle investors and they seem good with the notion that the Fed is holding rates steady in September, explains Kenny Polcari, Chief Market Strategist at SlateStone Wealth.

American voters determine their next president in less than a year. But Wall Street and Main Street are already paying close attention to every poll and candidate proclamation. And no wonder? They’re hoping to get a better handle on potential outcomes and potential market reactions—and to best position their portfolios for the likeliest path going forward. This panel will explore the likelihood of President Biden or former President Trump earning a second term...or a “Dark Horse” candidate winning the White House. Panel members will also explore the ramifications for taxes, spending, geopolitics, and markets of each scenario—and what investors like you should do to adapt.
