FED is caught between the devi_老虎社区_美港股上老虎

2021-09-13

FED is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. She needs to support her political master who is only keen to flood the market with massive QE and ultra low interest rate. On the other hand, such loose monetary policy is inflationary. Expect more volatility with US July CPI hitting 5.4%, the highest in 13 years.

When the Fed finally steps back, can the U.S. stock and bond markets stand on their own legs?

It missed by a half million jobs relative to consensus,” he said.\nLabor market conditions are expected to improve in the next few months, given the expiration of the extra $300 a week in unemployment benefits and&nbsp;record job openings.\nBofA Global summed up “perhaps the most underappreciated statistic in the jobs market” in this Friday chart, showing how job openings now outpace people seeing work.\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/163dfc3b7920a2dd61d0b008a817bfd4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"459\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Job openings outpace seekers BOFA GLOBAL, BLS\n“The Fed is pointing to the labor market statistics as a reason to delay tapering,” Ethan Harris and BofA’s global rates and currencies research team wrote. “We don’t&nbsp;agree.”\n“If demand is red hot, their job is to lean against it regardless of whether it shows up as surging payrolls or surging excess demand for labor.”\nThe recent bullishness in the U.S. stock market has come as the U.S. faces its highest&nbsp;daily death count from COVID&nbsp;in six months, with nearly a quarter of the U.S. population still refusing to get vaccinated despite widespread availability in America.\nIn a renewed push to halt COVID’s toll, President Joe Biden in a Thursday&nbsp;White House speech&nbsp;unveiled a 6-part plan to defeat “the pandemic of the unvaccinated,” which has been filling up hospital emergency rooms and leaving others without access to medical care.\nRough patch\nWhile it has been smooth sailing for investors this year, with the S&amp;P 500 index up almost 19%, a rough patch likely lies ahead.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;shed 2.2% for the week, while the S&amp;P 500 Index&nbsp;ended the week down 1.7%, booking the ugliest weekly declines since June 18. The Nasdaq Composite Index&nbsp;retreated by 1.6%.\nWith stock-market valuations at “historically extreme” levels,a Deutsche Bank analyst said on Friday&nbsp;that the risk of a “hard” correction is growing.\nIn addition, there could be several waves of the coronavirus’ delta variant and the threat of other strains to follow, but also the potential for a significant leadership change when Chairman Powell’s term expires in January.\nSince August, Orlando has been bracing for a 5% to 10% pullback in stocks through October, something which has not happened since November 2020 and which could take the S&amp;P 500 down below its 200-day moving average of about 4,000. However, after that clears, he expects the index to top 4,800 around year-end, with a 5,300 forecast for 2022.\nDebt test\nAnother test of U.S. financial conditions has been playing out in real time for borrowers in the near $11 trillion corporate bond market, where the first part of&nbsp;a September financing blitz&nbsp;has been going off without a hitch.\nThe week of the U.S. Labor Day holiday smashed&nbsp;daily records&nbsp;for the number of investment-grade companies&nbsp;borrowing in the bond market, mainly with an eye to lock in cheap funding ahead of any volatility before year-end.\n“It really speaks to the resilience of the market in terms of its ability to digest this volume of corporate credit transactions, despite the deluge,” said U.S. Bank’s James Whang, co-head of the credit fixed income and the municipal product group.\nSpreads in both the U.S. investment-grade&nbsp;and high-yield, or “junk bond,” market have been hovering near all-time lows, even as the Fed sells the remainder of its pandemic holdings of corporate bonds.\n“I think concerns around tapering are a little overplayed,” Whang told MarketWatch. “I don’t think the Fed would do anything to constrain economic growth, when there still is a fair amount of uncertainty around delta.”\nIn the week ahead,U.S. economic data&nbsp;will be focused on Tuesday’s cost of living reading via the Consumer Price Index and Core CPI for August. Then, it is more jobs data on Thursday, while Friday brings the preliminary University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index for Sept.","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
