1. The Federal Reserve announced a 75-basis-point interest rate hike.?It mirrored the previous hike,?matched the consensus expectation , and added to concerns that the Fed may put the US economy into a recession.?

But even amid the Fed's aggressive tightening and the weak economic data of late, the worst of the volatility and risk in the stock market has?come and gone , according to JPMorgan's Marko Kolanovic.

In a Wednesday note before the Fed's latest increase, he explained markets are proving to be?less sensitive to mounting recession concerns ?and have already priced in a downturn.?

Plus, recent revisions to earnings show the market is reflecting much of the?cyclical weakness , he added.?

And earnings reports from Alphabet and Microsoft?fit into JPMorgan's thesis. Shares of the tech giants rose after each showed?resilience ?and?strong guidance ?for the upcoming fiscal year.?
