Growing Fed pivot sentiment rally drives market despite #BigTech tumbling
👀 All eyes on the Fed. Fed meetings isn’t until next week, but didn’t stop investor chatter. November’s #RisingYields 75 bps rate hike is essentially locked-in, but attention is on whether Fed starts slowing the pace to 50 bps. Fed pivot sentiment rallied markets for second week with S&P 500 up +4%.
💪 GDP strength. Q3 GDP rose +2.6% and above expectations. Markets positively viewed data as just right with solid growth, but still showing some signs of deceleration. Markets more optimistic combined with rising Fed pivot expectations that #RecessionWatch doesn’t cut too deep.
🩸 Big Tech bloodbath. Previously viewing as a growth safe haven, #BigTech fell hard this week. Google and Microsoft slipped on slowing growth and softening market demand. While Meta tumbled on excessive #Metaverse spending. Apple was the only bright spot buoyed by strong iPhone 14 launch.
