Is the Market Mispricing the Fed?
The pace of U.S. inflation slowed again in December as overall consumer prices fell by 0.1% month-over-month, according to the latest CPI report. Stocks ticked higher as a result, and the market is now pricing in a 25-basis point interest rate hike from the Fed next month. On today’s show, Maggie Lake is joined by Dr. Komal Sri-Kumar, president of Sri-Kumar Global Strategies, to hear why he believes the market is getting ahead of itself with this latest rally and why the Fed has lost credibility. We’ll also hear from Andreas Steno Larsen on why he prefers precious metals over energy as China reopens.

Is This What a Soft Landing Looks Like?
With Nonfarm payrolls coming in above estimates, and wage growth softer than expected, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said today that “the Fed needs to stay the course” with regards to raising interest rates in 2023. U.S. equities rallied on the news — essentially calling the Fed’s bluff as the market prices in a pause in the coming months and rate cuts in the latter half of the year. On today’s show, Maggie Lake sits down with Peter Boockvar, CIO of Bleakly Advisory Group, to sift through the market’s response to mixed economic data and hear why Peter believes that the Fed is almost done hiking rates. As he wrote in the latest edition of The Boock Report, Peter believes that the market won’t find a bottom “until everyone throws in the investing towel not wanting to ever own a stock again.” He’ll share where he believes we’re at in that process, and where he’s looking for opportunities along the way. Plus, we’ll also see a clip from our new series, Steno’s Signals, with Andreas Steno Larsen, on what falling inflation means for equities and energy.

Melt up to Melt Down
U.S. stocks are down after new employment and jobless claims data released this morning indicated a still-resilient labor market. Private-sector employment rose by 235,000 in December, according to the latest ADP employment report, well above expectations. Annual pay for “job-stayers” rose 7.3%. Meanwhile, new jobless claims came in below estimates. On today’s show, Michael Gayed, the portfolio manager at Toroso Investments and editor of The Lead-Lag Report, joins Andreas Steno Larsen to discuss what signals caused him to switch from calling for a “melt-up” to an “imminent crash” at the end of 2022, and where he believes market conditions are pointing next. Plus, we hear from David Higgins about the possibility of a 2023 recession and why it might last longer than many expect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
