The market’s story in January was that Fed tightening was about to change the investment landscape for the worse. But in the past few days stocks have bounced, apparently no longer so alarmed, says Marvin Appel of Signalert Asset Management.
The S&P 500 Index undercut its January 10 intra-day low today, bringing its January loss to 4.9%, which more than reverses December’s gains. The Nasdaq Composite has borne the brunt of the losses, now down more than 8% in January, as is the iShares S&P large-cap growth index ETF (IVW). Meanwhile, the iShares large-cap value index ETF (IVE) is down just 1%, says Marvin Appel of Signalert Asset Management.
The Federal Reserve has upped the ante on fighting inflation, which has jumped to 40-year highs, states Marvin Appel of Signalert Asset Management.
Foreign developed-country stocks have lagged the S&P 500 (SPX) consistently since the end of 2007. That may be about to change in 2022 as valuation and currency patterns have become potential tailwinds, states Marvin Appel of Signalert Asset Management.
