Hello, New Highs!

Howdy,

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

S&P 500: +1.11%
Nasdaq 100: +1.49%
Russel 2000: +2.19%
Bitcoin: +4.41%

Last week, the economy and stock market experienced a mix of movements influenced by several pivotal economic indicators and events. The Federal Reserve's decision to cut rates by 50 basis points was the major highlight, marking the beginning of a rate cut cycle. This move, alongside retail sales figures for August, provided a complex picture of consumer spending health versus inflation management, influencing market sentiment.

In terms of stock market performance, the week started with a mixed bag. The Dow and S&P 500 saw gains, while the NASDAQ lagged due to tech stock drops. This divergence was partly driven by economic data releases like industrial production and capacity utilization rates. Additionally, the Fed's rate decision and its implications on future monetary policy contributed to a volatile, yet cautiously optimistic market environment.

Looking ahead to next week, traders should closely monitor for a reversal from last week's Fed rate cut. Given the recent volatility, attention to how quickly markets absorb new economic data, alongside any corporate earnings surprises, will be crucial for riding any short-term trends. Respect your risk and stick to your plan. Godspeed.

Warm Regards,

Thicc Kohrs

January Sets Another Record || Goonie Newsletter

Goonie Newsletter (January 19th - January 23rd)

January Sets Another Record

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

S&P 500: -0.38%
Nasdaq 100: -0.92%
Russel 2000: +2.32%
Bitcoin: +5.51%

Last week, markets mostly went sideways. Indexes tested highs early and then cooling off into the end of the week. It felt like a classic pause. Small caps held up better than expected, big tech picked its spots, and rates stayed in focus as the 10-year hovered in the low-to-mid 4s. Earnings season got rolling, but overall price action said traders were still waiting for a clearer macro signal before committing.

The economic data was the main driver. December CPI showed inflation continuing to cool without collapsing, which was enough to keep the soft-landing narrative alive. Headline prices rose 0.3% month over month and 2.7% year over year, while core CPI came in at 0.2% and 2.6%. Retail sales for November surprised to the upside, pointing to a consumer that is still spending, and industrial production for December jumped 0.4%, reinforcing the idea that growth is slowing but not stalling.

Looking ahead to next week, the reporting is lighter but still important. The focus shifts to housing and economic momentum, starting with pending home sales on Wednesday, jobless claims on Thursday, and the S&P Global flash PMIs on Friday. Don't forget that markets are closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. With a shortened week and sentiment-sensitive data, expect quick reactions, thin liquidity, and the usual tendency for traders to change their minds at least once. As always, respect your risk and stick to your trading plan. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
