What’s Up Market?
Recession? Really? ↘?
Before you go all “finance bro” on us, hear us out. Although GDP estimates have shrunk, inflation is high, housing market is lacking buyers and the US Fed raises rates yet again, we intend to find the silver lining amidst the fog of uncertainty.
The job market sees improvement, with a low unemployment rate of 3.6% and 2.7 Million jobs been added. Yet, why should us Indian investors care?
The mixed signals, like that one person from your friend group, regarding the looming recession might remain mixed for India (for now).

Who Is The Greater Fool? ??
Picture this - the coolest music festival ever is around the corner and you haven't bought tickets yet as you missed out on the "early bird" ones, which cost Rs. 2,000. A person you were briefly acquainted with tells you that you can buy his ticket for Rs. 3,000.

Since you're desperate to enter the gates of heaven, you pay the inflated price, only to realise that the music festival was in the middle of an abandoned lot, and you've never heard of the bands playing. You, my friend, are what people in the investment world call "The Greater Fool"
Usually seen in times of market "bubbles", where new investors come in and repeatedly pump a new, cool asset class, whether it is a Mortgage Backed Security or a Shitcoin (oops), riding on the hope that a not-so-learned investor will buy it at the inflated, overvalued price that is available. The fool is the one who pumps, and the greater fool is the one who falls for it.
Now that we’ve scared you like the clown from IT, you might want to click the link to know how you can avoid being one!

Chart of The Week
Yield Curve Flashing Signs of a Recession ??
Relax - the chart above isn’t as complicated as it seems. A yield curve is just a chart showing the yield of bonds at different maturities. The return you get on a bond, which matures in a certain number of years.
What does this weird chart inverting mean? When investors worry about a recession, they want to lock their money in long-term government bonds, which is the safest asset class. When the demand for long term bonds increases, the price of those bonds increases. When prices of bonds rise, their yields fall.
This indicates very high pessimism, which seems justified given the steep rate hikes by the Fed, and challenges around a consequent ‘soft landing’ for the economy.
This has been the most inverted that the chart has been in decades. One can only wait and see what the repercussions would be of this complication.
