Stocks must go higher... inflation doesn't accelerate and unemployment rises, cuts come in and stocks go higher.
Stocks aren't hot enough to really fall.
@VivianneGraaf@BobEUnlimited Some claim that the difference is because of government meddling and that GDI shows the actual growth of the economy. Its always tough to know who to trust.. With so many voices my two favourite people on fintwit is Bob and Andy Constan
So if we hit 4.8 - 5% in the next 6 months does the soft landing narrative end? Stocks down bonds sideways to up?
The market doesnt believe this is likely otherwise we wouldn't be at ATH. Everyone is crowded into stocks. Stocks are 3 standard deviations above the VWAP of the SNP similar to the dot com bubble.
@BobEUnlimited given the sustained rise in unemployment since April 24 at what point does the unemployment rate signal recession on the horizon? 4.8? 5? Can we get to that level in the next 6 months based on current trend acceleration? Is the market still talking of soft landing?
I think a mild reflation is on the horizon which leads to H4L rates which isn't priced in. So maybe we get 2-3 cuts before reflation feeds into CPI and the FED has to hold rates as cpi ticks up this causes the reflation to deflate again. The RRP will be close to zero at this point and the feds QT will finally impact the market doubling down on the liquidity shock to markets as yields reprice higher.
Any comments welcome

Probably no better chart to illustrate the fact that differences in GDP growth have nothing to do with differences in equity returns.
From '03 China's nominal GDP up 1000%, Japan's up 12%.
