Portfolio Manager Jeff Mayberry and Quantitative Analyst Eric Dhall review broad losses in stocks (0:59), bonds (2:23) and commodities (4:20) for the Sept. 18-22 market week. Then after checking the week’s macro news (6:57), including a resilient jobs market notwithstanding labor strikes, they do a deep dive (11:58) into the Sept. 20 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s news conference. The upshot of that meeting was that while the FOMC as expected took a pass on hiking the federal funds rate above 5.50%, the guidance from Fed officials came in more hawkish than expected, disappointing investor hopes for signals for a future pivot. For the week ahead (29:40), Jeff and Eric will be on the lookout for the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller house price indices for July, the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence report, durable goods orders, 2Q GDP revisions, jobless claims and a “big dose” of news on Friday Sept. 29: personal income, personal spending and the PCE deflator.
