Nomura Sees Upside For Stocks (If We Can Survive Fed ''Hawkish Surprise" & Friday''s "Messy OpEx Unclench") Despite the ugly misses in US Retail Sales (pretty much -2 z-score downside surprises across board), Nomura''s Charlie McElligott notes that USTs traded offered (large FV block sale 30k with $1.6mm/01, along with UST 10Y downside trade TYH2 129.5/127.5 p 1x1.5 at 18 in 25k)… but then rallying on “risk off” thereafter... ...on more equities weakness as the market seemingly is “pre-trading” and de-risking a Hawkish Fed , with lumpy QQQ downside trading (bot 36k Jan 349 Puts, ~$210mm of Delta for sale in a thin tape). FOMC expectations are consensually for “transitory” inflation reference to be dropped in statement (duh), a doubling of Taper to $30B a month to conclude mid-March , SEPs to see PCE higher / Unemployment revised lower, DOTs revised higher with ’22 median at 2 hikes, with additional 6 hikes through ’24... ... however, any upside in those DOTs are where any “hawkish surprise” could come, i.e. 2.5 hikes in ’22 or say 4 in ’23, where either would be interpreted as HARD negatives for stocks, especially continuing the downside momentum for “Secular Growth” Tech as chief “pain point” behind the recent de-risking.

"Wipe Out" Below The Calm Surface Of The Bull Market Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, “Wipe Out” is an appropriate description of what is happening beneath the calm surface of the bull market. As we head into the end of the year, many are hoping for “Santa to visit Broad and Wall.” However, those hopes are not just about adding to this year’s already excessive annual gains. Instead, for many, it’s the hope to recover some brutal losses. If you haven’t been paying much attention, the market is currently sitting near all-time highs. While it has risen nearly 26% this year, there were a couple of very normal 5% corrections along the way. By looking at the chart, you would assume that performance across the index was pretty equal. However, that would be an erroneous assumption. As the old saying goes: “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” Market Cap Weighted Illusion One of the problems with the financial markets currently is the illusion of performance. That illusion gets created by the largest market capitalization-weighted stocks. ( Market capitalization is calculated by taking the price of a company multiplied by its number of shares outstanding.) Notably, except for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the major market indexes are weighted by market capitalization.
