Daily global market review

Daily global market review

During today's trading session, the major indices showed minimal deviation from their opening levels, a circumstance that holds significance given the substantial gains observed since late October. This lack of notable change can be perceived as a win for the bulls or, conversely, a setback for those anticipating a more significant pullback, whether due to short positions or an inclination to buy during market weakness. A noteworthy factor influencing the day's proceedings came from Fed Governor Waller, a member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), who acknowledged the possibility of lowering the policy rate if inflation continues to decline over the next few months. Waller emphasized that should inflation persist in its downward trend, there is no justification for maintaining elevated interest rates.

These comments, relayed around mid-morning, propelled the indices to their highest levels of the day. However, this surge in buying interest gradually waned, indicative of some buyer exhaustion after the considerable upward momentum from late October. In contrast, Fed Governor Bowman, also an FOMC voter, introduced a counterpoint to the rate-cut enthusiasm during her speech today. She expressed willingness to support rate hikes if data indicate a stall in inflation progress or insufficient measures to bring inflation back to the 2% target. Despite Bowman's perspective, the fed funds futures market seemed to place greater emphasis on Waller's remarks, with the probability of a 25 basis points rate cut at the May 2024 FOMC meeting increasing from 52.9% to 64.3%. The 2-year note yield, sensitive to changes in the fed funds rate, responded similarly, notably declining by 14 basis points to 4.73%, while the 10-year note yield fell by five basis points to 4.34%.

The decline in interest rates provided support for stocks, though the market lacked a clear leadership direction. Advancers slightly outpaced decliners at the NYSE, while the reverse held true at the Nasdaq. Notable sector performances included gains in the real estate (+0.5%) and consumer discretionary (+0.5%) sectors, while the health care sector experienced a decline of 0.5%. Within individual stocks, notable movements were witnessed, such as Pinduoduo (PDD) reporting significant earnings and Tesla (TSLA) clearing resistance at its 50-day moving average ahead of its Cybertruck delivery event on Thursday. Summarizing the market performance, the Nasdaq Composite rose by 36.5%, the S&P 500 by 18.6%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 6.8%, the S&P Midcap 400 by 4.5%, and the Russell 2000 by 1.8%. On the economic front, the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index for November exceeded expectations, registering at 102.0 (consensus 100.0), up from a downwardly revised 99.1 in October. The report indicated improved confidence in future business conditions, job availability, and incomes for the next six months, supporting the market's prevailing soft landing outlook.

Additionally, the September FHFA Housing Price Index showed a 0.6% month-over-month increase, following an upwardly revised 0.7% gain in August. The September S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index reflected a 3.9% month-over-month increase (consensus 4.1%), following a downwardly revised 2.1% gain in August. In the broader market, strong sectors included utilities, consumer staples, materials, consumer discretionary, real estate, communication services, and information technology. Conversely, weakness was observed in health care, industrials, and real estate. Market movements were also influenced by the anticipation of earnings reports after the close from companies like CRWD, INTU, NTAP, HPE, and WDAY.

  • November Stock Market Rally: The S&P 500 is on track to post a gain of over 8% in November, and the TSX is up about 6%.The rally has been supported by favorable U.S. and Canadian CPI inflation readings and a pullback in bond yields. Leadership has broadened, with various sectors performing well, including real estate, financials, industrials, information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services. Historical data suggests that December has been a historically strong month for stock-market performance, with positive returns 75% of the time since 1945, and average returns of 1.6%.

Forecasts:

  • The November rally may continue into year-end, supported by positive economic factors and historical seasonality.
  • Inflation data will be closely monitored, and a decline in core PCE as anticipated could impact market sentiment.
  • The resilience of certain sectors, including technology and cyclical sectors, contributes to the overall positive outlook.
  • While market trends are subject to change, historical patterns suggest a potential optimistic scenario as December approaches.


Previous update:

Navigating the market today proved challenging, not due to significant losses, but rather the lack of substantial activity until some seesaw action transpired in the final trading hour. The major indices exhibited a mixed performance throughout the day, lacking conviction from both buyers and sellers. The Invesco S&P 500 Equal-Weight ETF (RSP) saw a marginal decline of 0.2%. The Nasdaq Composite displayed a slight performance edge, buoyed by select mega-cap names such as Amazon (AMZN), NVIDIA (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), and Microsoft (MSFT), contributing to a relatively stable position for the S&P 500 compared to Friday's closing level. The S&P 500 traded within a narrow 14-point range for the day.

The day's deliberate movement was mirrored in modest changes across S&P 500 sectors. Real estate emerged as the biggest gainer, posting a 0.4% increase, while the health care sector experienced the most significant decline at -0.6%. Market breadth favored declining issues, with a 4-to-3 margin at the NYSE and roughly a 7-to-4 margin at the Nasdaq.

In separate developments, Treasury yields took a downward turn at the start of the week. A weaker-than-expected October New Home Sales Report and a $55 billion 5-year note auction contributed to this shift. The 2-year note yield fell eight basis points to 4.87%, and the 10-year note yield dropped eight basis points to 4.39%.

Although the decline in market rates did not elicit the same enthusiasm seen earlier in the month, it arguably helped curb selling efforts on Cyber Monday, a day that witnessed lackluster performance in the retail stocks, as evidenced by the 0.6% decline in the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT).

Examining today's economic data, new home sales experienced a 5.6% month-over-month decline in October, reaching a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 679,000 units, falling short of the consensus estimate of 720,000. Despite the drop, new home sales maintained a 17.7% year-over-year increase. Notably, the report highlights a notable slump in new home sales activity for October, attributed in part to affordability challenges resulting from high mortgage rates and overall elevated prices. In the market, the 10-year Note saw a positive uptick, advancing 6/32 to 4.39%.

In the industry landscape, sectors such as real estate, consumer discretionary, information technology, and utilities exhibited strength, while energy, industrials, health care, and communication services showed weakness. The market's focus remained on consolidation expectations following four consecutive weeks of gains, keeping a watchful eye on the retail sector as the holiday selling season kicked into full swing. The October new home sales data, reflecting a 5.6% month-over-month decline to 679,000 units, disappointed market participants, particularly due to affordability pressures.

  • Stock Market Trends: The stock markets in the U.S. and Canada may continue to experience modest fluctuations at the beginning of the last week of November. The recent positive trend in the stock and bond markets may persist, with potential for further gains.
  • Inflation Trends: The PCE inflation report for October is expected to show a decrease in both headline and core inflation rates. The lower inflation readings may contribute to a positive market sentiment. Predictions suggest that headline PCE inflation could fall to 3.1% year-over-year, and core PCE inflation may decline to 3.5%. The expectation is that inflation will continue to moderate in the coming months, although not necessarily in a straight line.
  • Federal Reserve (Fed) Policy: Investors are likely to closely monitor speeches by FOMC members leading up to the December 13 Federal Reserve meeting. The Bank of Canada's policy meeting on December 6 will also be watched.The information suggests that both the Fed and the Bank of Canada are likely to keep interest rates at their current levels. The market probability of a rate hike at the December FOMC meeting has fallen to about 5%, indicating a perception that the Fed may be on hold for now. The Fed's approach appears to be more moderate, with a focus on balancing the risks of overtightening and doing too little on rate hikes. The likelihood of a gradual reduction in interest rates by the Fed could increase if there is more credibility toward achieving 2.0% core inflation.
  • Market Reaction to Fed Policy: Assuming the economy is not in a deep downturn, markets may positively respond to the idea that the Fed is potentially on hold for the near term and may consider lowering rates in the future. The market's embrace of the notion that both inflation and rates could be normalizing over time may continue, particularly if the Fed signals a gradual reduction of interest rates in the months ahead.
