The argument that equity markets are too expensive is the confirmation bias of sidelined bears, argues the analyst.

Early trade in futures suggest stocks may finish the week very close to where they started. Bulls may be frustrated, but they should take it as a win.

And here to offer further comfort is Fundstrat’s head of research, Tom Lee. He says the market is ready for a strong eight week rally, a scenario that may catch out many investors because they remain nervous about “the understandable lack of clarity on inflation trajectory, Fed policy path, earnings risk and general heightened concerns about recession.”Better inflation news. He reckons the last of the ‘hot’ inflation data was the fourth quarter unit labor cost numbers that came in up 3.2%.

Falling VIX. “If the incoming data tilts the way we expect , then bond volatility should fall, which supports a stock rally in March to April. This means VIX could fall, and a falling VIX is supportive of higher equity prices.”The market is NOT expensive. Arguing that stocks in general are overvalued is, Lee believes, the confirmation bias of bears waiting out on the sidelines.

Stocks close higher, Dow gains 300 points as Fed’s Bostic spurs relief rally: Live updatesStocks rose Thursday in an afternoon rally as traders tried to shake off concerns over higher interest rates. The Dow jumped 1.05%. The S&P 500 rose 0.76%. The Nasdaq gained 0.73%. Is this a joke? The FED may surprise you and hammer everyone. The entire world is slowing down. This is a huge set up for a massive tidal wave No, they rose because Bostic made a stupid statement, AFTER saying rates were going to have to go higher, he said 'possible pause end of summer', and off it went as the sheep and algos came to the feeding trough. Should be rules against the FED making comments every other day. Every single person who believes this completely wrong. We are in the era of Arthur burns policies. Until theFED does what’s right, which is raising the Fed funds rate, at least above the CPI rate we will be stuck in hyper inflation for a long time. need to raise 100-200bp now
