It’s been a strong 2022 for energy stocks. The S&P 500’s XLE (XLE) is up more than 40% since the beginning of January — by far outperforming the broader market. In June and July, overbought energy stocks pulled back sharply amid concerns of a recession and tumbling oil prices. Since then, the sector has regained a large portion of those losses. In continuation of our series, “What to do in a bear market,” Yahoo Finance asked the experts if energy is still the place to be given the recent… Source link

Inflation has been making headlines all year, and rightly so; it’s at 40-year high levels, driven by sharp increases in the prices of gasoline and diesel fuels. But oil and its various refined products have come down in recent weeks, and so – the July inflation numbers weren’t as bad as had been feared. The overall year-over-year price increase for the month came to 8.5%, still awful, but less than the 8.7% economists had been predicting. Markets these days are rallying in… Source link

If there is any upside for investors from the slowing U.S. economy, it’s that the Federal Reserve may have no other choice but to put the brakes on its aggressive pace of rate hikes later this year. “There are two reasons that they would slow the pace,” Goldman Sachs Chief U.S. Economist David Mericle told Yahoo Finance Live at the firm’s 10,000 Small Businesses Summit (video above). “One reason is I think the economy is going to slow a lot.

Houck picked up two saves over the weekend and looks like Boston’s new main closer, so we’re including him here even though he’s just over the typical 50% rostered threshold. He may be eased into working back-to-back days, but Houck is a first-round pick who’s allowed just one run over 19.0 innings (with 18 Ks and a 0.89 WHIP) since moving to the bullpen… Source link

Stock markets have been bearing the brunt of multiple headwinds in recent months. Persistently high inflation, slowing GDP growth, and a jobs market that, while expanding in absolute terms, is still down from pre-pandemic levels are feeding fears that we’re facing a round of ‘70’s-style stagflation. And these have combined with geopolitical factors – the Russia-Ukraine war, the resumption of severe lockdown policies in China – to ratchet up worries about recession in the near… Source link

Small-capitalization stocks have been hit particularly hard over the past months. A look at the Russell 2000, the leading index of small caps, tells the story. The Russell last hit a record high back in November of last year, and it’s gone mostly downhill from there — falling 20%. But low prices now could translate into investor opportunities later on. In fact, Jefferies strategist Steven DeSanctis believes that the small caps are in a “bottoming out process.” DeSanctis argues that… Source link
