Fed's Problem: How To Slow Down The Runaway Stock Market Train Driven By Market Mechanics
Portfolio Pulse from The Arora Report
The stock market has rallied since early November, with the Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ) consolidating at the resistance zone's lower band. The Fed faces a challenge in tightening financial conditions without derailing the market, as the market may interpret their actions to fuel further gains. CPI and PPI data releases are anticipated, but the market's focus is on the upcoming FOMC meeting and Powell's press conference. Market mechanics, AI frenzy, and expectations of rate cuts in 2024 are driving the market higher. Deflation in China may help lower U.S. inflation, while Japan's yen fell after rate hike comments were walked back. Early trade money flows show positive trends for NVIDIA (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA), but negative for Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), Meta Platforms (META), and Microsoft (MSFT). The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and QQQ show mixed flows. Gold and oil trading are active, with the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and United States Oil ETF (USO) being the most popular ETFs. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped as whales sold at $45,000 instead of pushing for a run to $50,000.
