Market looks oversold as it is clear that we are expecting tapering and rate hikes to come. Virus concerns have eased too.

The Curious Case of Market Up, Fear Gauge (VIX) Up

Something strange is going on in the markets. I know Halloween has just passed but no, it has nothing to do with any paranormal activities. It is typical that the Cboe Volatility Index $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ trades inversely with the stock market, however, on Friday, I noticed the US stock market (Dow, S&P500, Nasdaq) closed in the green while the VIX surged higher. In fact, the VIX closed at $16.48 or 6.74% higher. That is unusual.The VIX is known as the market’s fear gauge. Basically the market prices of S&P 500 put and call options are used to calculate the market’s expected volatility in a 30-day time frame. With the VIX surging up, this could reflect that investors want to protect their portfolio and therefore they drive up the pric

Are we out of the woods yet? Not really.

Finally the announcement by the Fed has arrived - they will begin to reduce the pace of their monthly bond purchases, a process known as tapering, as soon as late November. Markets are cheering with the major indexes closed at record highs, or should we be? A single key word in the Fed statement caused me some concern. The word is ‘expected’. In their statement: “Inflation is elevated, largely reflecting factors that are expected to be transitory”. “Expected to be transitory”, it can also mean elevated inflation may turn out to be unexpectedly lengthier than what we hoped for, right? And this will have impact on consumer spending and the list goes on. Here is why my view that elevated inflation will persist for some time and we are not out of the woods yet.

Premature selling?

Everyone is aware of how bearish the global markets are including the US markets, especially today. Nonetheless, let’s consider the thought of premature selling. There are a few key events and outcomes to consider, and look forward to. First, Q3 earnings. We are about a month away from Q3 earnings where banks will kick off the earnings season. Only then we will know whether the stocks current valuation is justified and whether the companies guidance signal a positive or negative outlook. Selling now seems early to me as Q3 earnings season can provide a broader and clearer picture to guide investors decision making. We don’t wish to end up selling quality stocks at a bargain price right now. Second, Fed meetings. Only when the precise timeline of when the Fed is going to taper and by how mu

Navigating Stormy Markets

The S&P500 and the Dow Jones Index had fallen for four trading days this week and the Nasdaq Composite was not spared too, it fell 1.6% for the week. In this situation, it is natural to be tempted to think about selling early to limit more potential losses ahead but also tempted to think about the potential recovery from this terrible week. I like to share here on how I navigate the stormy market weather. First, I try to make sense on the likely factors that are causing the weak week for the broader markets. I think uncertainty sums the factors up nicely. For one, uncertainty about what will be communicated at the upcoming Federal Reserve Sep 21 meeting - the precise timeline when tapering will start and exactly how much will the Fed reduce the pace of asset purchases. Uncertainty abou

Bad News is Good News

Interesting times we are living in, when bad news appears to be good news. Take the disappointing private payrolls number which was just released hours ago. In August, private payrolls rose by 374k which was well off the estimate of 600k. However, judging from the greens in the markets, investors are cheering. The economy may not be growing at an ideal pace which is bad news, but the good news (which I believe from the investors point of view) is that the Fed will continue to support the economy as the Fed noted that there's “much ground to cover” before rate hikes. So the good news amidst the bad news is that we may continue to enjoy accommodative money policies with interest rate hikes off the table for now, which benefits stocks.&nb

I’m sure markets will be on edge in the next few FOMC meetings as talks on taper are inevitable. I think there is more room in the market that is not yet priced in for a taper. Some thoughts.

Cautious Stance

Based on history, the next few months are seasonally weak period for equities. The concerns of the potential spread of the highly contagious variant increases downside risk noting that the seven-day average of new daily coronavirus cases was 85,459 as of Monday and news like New York City expecting to require proof of vaccine for indoor dining and gyms may dent positive sentiment and impacting the reopening stocks. With most biggest companies having released earnings and the markets having little reaction along with the upcoming Jackson Hole and FOMC events where the Fed could very well begin discussions on tapering and rates, it is not unreasonable to take some risk off the table and be cautious moving ahead. $S&P 500(.SPX)$<

Disappointing Q2 GDP? Not Really

GDP for 2nd quarter was 6.5%, very much below the estimate of 8.4%. This is not all bad news as the result reflects that we are not at peak growth yet! Confident that we have more room to run and another stronger quarter to look forward to. $DJIA(.DJI)$$S&P 500(.SPX)$$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$

Risk-off Tone Today

Today’s risk-off mood in US markets likely is a result of indecision and worries. Just to name a few: Concerns over peak earnings as some view it, concerns over the Delta variant (CDC updated guidance), upcoming Fed statement (tapering and inflation outlook) and concerns over the tumbling of the Chinese stock market and what it means for global markets$NASDAQ 100(NDX)$$S&P 500(.SPX)$$DJIA(.DJI)$Plenty of negative headlines. Remain clear headed and focus to see through all of them. All the best!

Earnings Priced-In for Big Tech Stocks?

Following the surging stock prices in $Alphabet(GOOG)$and $Facebook(FB)$on the blowout quarter by Snap and Twitter, could the current lofty stock prices of Facebook and Google have already priced in a spectacular quarter? If it is priced-in, investors may profit-take as they have expected these tech giants to do extremely well in that quarter. What do you think? priced-in or not? will the stock climb further after the earnings report?

More Upside Ahead for NASDAQ

I believe $NASDAQ-100 Index ETF(QQQ)$clearly has more room to climb as the big tech companies are set to release their earnings in the coming weeks and so far, results of Twitter and Snap were impressive! The results signal strong growth in ad-based social media companies which supported the theory that the economy is roaring back again. It is no surprise that we see $Facebook(FB)$ and $Alphabet(GOOG)$ surging in the after-hours trading. The momentum in these giants will likely push the broader Nasdaq-100 and Nasdaq to greater highs!

Silver Lining in Didi Shares

$DiDi Global Inc.(DIDI)$ shares are tumbling again as Bloomberg News reported about regulators considering penalties ranging from hugefines to delisting. Let us rewind back in time, I recalled back then $Alibaba(BABA)$shares were under pressure due to regulators and eventually a huge fine of US2.8 billion was imposed on the company. Here comes the silver lining, $Alibaba(BABA)$rose after the news about the fine, likely because it is way better than the other far worse outcome that could happen. So IF Didi was to be slapped with a fine instead of getting delisted, there is good reason for investors to cheer about.

Wall Street Roars Back!

Wall Street is back again! Although we are still off the highs, the rebound appears solid as investors had likely oversold their positions on Mon. It is a good opportunity to rebalance your portfolio to deal with the emerging trends observed - plunging yields, rising inflation and the covid delta variant spread. Big Tech in my humble opinion will weather through. $NASDAQ-100 Index ETF(QQQ)$may have some more room to climb.

$Netflix(NFLX)$is under some pressure as it misses on earnings expectations slightly. As Netflix ventures into the gaming space, initially at no cost to paid subscribers, we can reasonably expect paid premium add-ons to come infuture. Higher revenue for the company is ahead as Netflix captures more market share in the growing gaming space. This could present agood opportunity to accumulate when the stock is weaker today.
