Fairly Choppy Markets, Light Macro Heading Into Fed Day (E282)

DoubleLine Portfolio Manager Jeff Mayberry and Analyst Mark Kimbrough discuss the market week ended Oct. 23, including what could end up being a mini-run for tech stocks and a bond market acting as a safe haven (3:42), with commodities (6:38) rounding out what was a volatile week across asset classes that ended relatively flat all around. It was a light week in Macro Land leading into next week’s FOMC meeting, including some unsurprising labor numbers (9:20) and another firm S&P Global U.S. PMI report (10:10) in which inflation is a noticeable issue. Aside from Fed Day, which the market does not expect to deliver a rate hike, next week (15:39) will bring durable goods and home price data as well as the latest PCE print.
