Expect a market sell-off so significant that the Federal Reserve will likely “not carry through” with all of its anticipated rate hikes this year, predicts macro investor Felix Zulauf.  “I doubt that they will be as hawkish going through the year as they are saying now,” the CEO of Zulauf Consulting told Yahoo Finance. “My expectation is that we have a sharp sell-off in the markets, maybe 30% from the highs, into the summer, and then the Fed and other central banks will panic,” he added.  “In… Source link

Tesla (TSLA) is a “barometer” of market confidence, says TD Ameritrade chief market strategist JJ Kinahan. “This is a name that really is a confidence gauge in my opinion,” Kinahan told Yahoo Finance Live. “If it gets down near the $950-ish level, you’ll see clients coming in and buy it up until it gets to about $1,050. When it gets above $1,050, it seems to make clients a little be nervous, so the amount of buying there starts to dissipate a little bit.” Shares of the electric vehicle giant… Source link

Cyclical stocks may be in for a bumpy ride in 2022, as inflation concerns persist and the multiple rate hikes appear imminent, strategists forecast. “I think it’s not going to be a smooth sailing rise higher across the cyclicals,” Megan Horneman, Verdence Capital Advisors Director of Portfolio Strategy. “I still do think you’ll get some tug of war, like you saw today, where some money may rotate back into those growth sectors when you see interest rates decline or the Fed put some… Source link

Stocks are in a risk-off mood six trading days into the New Year for a multitude of reasons, prompting one veteran strategist to issue a blunt warning to over-enthused investors.  “We have never seen equities priced quite this high. The adjusted price to earnings ratio is pushing up against 40 times. The last time we saw that was in 1999. But if you look at price to sales ratios, that’s over three times — that’s higher than what we saw in the dot com bubble,” said Tematica Research chief… Source link

With markets still concerned with inflation and how the Fed may react in regard to rate hikes, investors are gearing up for an uncertain 2022.  And according to Francis Gannon, co-chief investment officer at Royce Investment Partners, small caps may be the place to weather these uncertainties in the new year. “I think part of the opportunity here with small caps is the fact that they haven’t done as well as some of the other asset classes,” Gannon said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above)….

Even with Apple’s stock (APPL) cooling down a touch this week as the company flirted with a $3 trillion market cap for the first time, pros say several positives remain in the cards that are likely to push shares higher soon. “It is entirely possible that we are seeing the perfect storm for Apple bulls into year-end. The obvious consideration is that institutional investors are plowing into Apple in a FOMO [fear of missing out] driven frenzy. What institutional fund manager would want to… Source link

GameStop (GME) and AMC (AMC) climbed into green territory on Tuesday after opening lower, as the overall ‘meme’ stock group has slumped recently. GameStop shares closed 8% higher while AMC gained more than 5%.  “We call them meme stocks but in essence there’s another name for them and that’s story stocks,” Market Strategist Michael Antonelli told Yahoo Finance Live., “Story stocks are usually high fast growers, high flyers, that benefit from flows and cheap money,” he said. “These story… Source link

Ignore a more hawkish Federal Reserve at your own peril, warns RBC Capital Markets head of U.S. equity strategy Lori Calvasina.  “They [our strategists] think the market is too sanguine. They think people are underestimating the number of hikes in 2023 and how high the Fed could ultimately go,” said Calvasina on Yahoo Finance Live.  The markets have rallied back to within all-time highs this week as traders push aside a shift in the tone by Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell just one week… Source link

When it comes to cryptocurrency, financial adviser Ryan Payne agreed with billionaire Charlie Munger when he said, “This era is even crazier than the dot-com era.” “This whole Bitcoin (BTC-USD) thing — this whole cryptocurrency — is one of the biggest bubbles ever,” Payne, president of Payne Capital Management, told Yahoo Finance live on Friday.  “I do think that bubble is eventually going to burst. It’s going to be ugly,” he added.  The global crypto market “is somewhere over $2… Source link
