The way to scare away a bear, according to experts, is to make a lot of noise while rising up to make yourself appear bigger. Sure enough, a loud equity rally to start the year — amplified by ferocious gains in some of the riskiest and most-hated stocks — has indeed sent bears running and made the bulls seem more powerful than might be expected with only half the total bear-market losses now recaptured.
The crucial detail here is what sorts of stocks ended up in this momentum basket: recent relative winners, which coming into 2023 meant, overwhelmingly, defensive-style stocks. The MTUM is now 60% healthcare and energy. It has a massive underweight in tech and consumer cyclicals. Too much garbage? So quantitative investors riding this factor – often while shorting low-quality stocks – have been whipsawed mightily.
Strong hiring in services which keeps up inflation. Fed has to cause a recession to reach services. Hikes already affected goods but doesnt affect services. Recession slows down services spending. But snowball effect will cause an unemployment crisis & deep recession. AI lurking
