The S&P 500 index just wrapped up its strongest first half of a year since 2019, as a U.S. recession feared near by many investors seems perpetually further away than anticipated, leaving the stock market rally’s momentum for the rest of 2023 in question.
The S&P 500 SPX in mid-March was trading near its starting level in 2023, as regional-bank woes weighed on stocks before the Fed’s intervention that month. The central bank’s bank term funding program, announced March 12, helped shore up confidence in the banking system, taking off “a lot of pressure on financial conditions,” according to Torres.
“Let’s not forget that despite the economy’s impressive performance the first three months, prices have continued to ease as well,” Baumohl said in the note. “Virtually every inflation metric has been falling,” he said, so “unless inflation shows signs of reversing course and accelerates, the Fed should maintain its current pause.”
But Torres said he worries the U.S. economy may be growing too fast for the Fed’s fight with inflation, potentially leading the central bank to become more hawkish by further tightening monetary policy. “I’ve been shocked the market has already been able to digest this yield move to the upside,” said Torres. “There’s still more room to the upside on yields,” he said, adding that two-year Treasury rates often are viewed as a gauge of how hawkish the Fed may be with its policy rate.
Weakness, strength on the roll Sonders said she sees the U.S. as having experienced “rolling” recessions in different segments – such as housing or manufacturing – as opposed to the entire economy being swept up in a full-blown downturn. “The recession versus no recession debate” is missing the current nuances of this cycle, in her view.
