Powell Not Extra Hawkish
Please click here for a chart of S&P 500 ETF (SPY) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
- The chart shows when Powell spoke.
- In the Morning Capsule, we shared with you:
The Fed is playing whac-a-mole with the momo crowd.
- The chart shows that the mole has popped back up again.
- Powell said, “…restoring price stability when inflation is high can require measures that are not popular in the short term as we raise interest rates to slow the economy.” In The Arora Report analysis, we read Powell’s statement as realistic and prudent. However, momo gurus have twisted it as a reason to buy stocks because Powell’s statements were not overly hawkish.
- The momo crowd is buying stocks because Powell was not extra hawkish.
- There is also buying by the momo crowd on hope strategy ahead of CPI. The momo crowd is hoping that CPI will be less than expected and as a result, the stock market will stage a big rally. This is keeping with the momo crowd’s pattern of buying ahead of key events, such as CPI. These events present risk that the momo crowd does not take into account.
- In The Arora Report analysis, CPI is potentially a binary event for the stock market. Please see the Morning Capsule for details.
- The chart shows when the Treasury auction results were announced. The Treasury auction was good. Here are the details:
- $40B 3-year Treasury note auction
- High yield: 3.977% (When-Issued: 4.000%)
- Bid-to-cover: 2.84
- Indirect bid: 69.5%
- Direct bid: 13.2%
- To learn how to interpret Treasury auctions, please listen to the podcast titled “Treasury Auction Data: Ignore The Most Popular.”
- The VUD indicator is the most sensitive measure of net supply demand in real-time. The orange represents net supply and the green represents net demand.
- The VUD indicator is mixed, indicating a battle between the bulls and bears going into the CPI release.
