Record Highs in Early 2024?

Since there is only one more Fed meeting for the remainder of the year, Powell may decide the market's destiny for the remainder of the year. Some information is, of course, opinionated, but let’s start with the facts.

• The market has appeared very resilient. Jobless claims came in low near 220,000, which does not scream recession, and the S&P500 closed above 4600 on the week. (Jobless claims report)

• QQQ, /NQ, $SPY may all imply we will break out to new highs, but I think it’s less about the index and the Magnificent 7 companies that move the market (AMZN, GOOGL, TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, META, MSFT), and more the news that comes out when we trade into the highs or while the market is searching for support.

• 

  $APPL at highs

  

  $MSFT at highs

If we are to break all-time highs by February, /ES needs to make this zone the new norm of support, creating a continued uptrend. Below it will cause more selling.

If this is not tested, the rally into the 4700s can be great for short-term traders but may be short-lived. A key component of this rally is looking for companies crossing key pivots. Though the SPY can break out, not all stocks incorporated in the S&P500 are treated equally.

So, when is the best time to invest in stocks?

News starts with the Federal Reserve interest-rate decision on Wednesday.

Soft Landing Breakdown

In a simplified ideal scenario for a soft landing:

1. No More Rate Hikes: 

2. Possible Rate Cuts: 

3. Jobless Claims Stay Low or Decrease: Low jobless claims indicate a positive job market and boost economic confidence.

4. Interest Rates Decrease: To boost economic activity, the central bank may lower interest rates, making borrowing more appealing for businesses and consumers.

5. Cost of Living Stability: Ideally, living costs stabilize or rise moderately by managing inflation to prevent rapid erosion of consumer purchasing power.

A "soft landing" is about managing the economy to avoid a sharp downturn or recession while keeping inflation and other economic indicators in check.
