Futures Rebound As Fed-Induced Rout Finally Eases After yesterday''s miraculous tech recovery which saw gigacaps drop as much as 4% before recovering all losses and closing green, Nasdaq futures led gains among U.S. stock-index futures, hinting at further relief for technology stocks as Treasury yields retreated in early trading but have since steadied around 1.75%, unchanged from Monday. Nasdaq futures rose as much as 0.7%, while S&P 500 and Dow Jones contracts were also higher by about 0.4% ahead of Powells Senate confirmation hearing for second term as Fed chair which begins at 10am and where the Fed chair is expected to put on a dovish mask and walk back some of the recent hawkish commentary. Dip-buyers rescued the Nasdaq from a fifth session of declines on Monday after Marko Kolanovic urged JPM clients to buy the dip, writing that yields aren''t too high and the Fed''s won''t derail the economys rebound. We view the recent equity volatility as an adjustment to the Feds incrementally more hawkish stance, rather than a sign that the Fed is about to bring the recovery and the equity rally abruptly to an end, Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, said in a note. We now expect three Fed rate hikes this year, starting as soon as March. We are looking for opportunities to raise our weighting in stocks in 2022, according to Luca Paolini, chief strategist at Pictet Asset Management, whose firm has a neutral stance on equities.

These Are The Three Things Investors Will Focus On During Q4 Earnings Season And Into 2022 There are no two ways about it: the first full year of the year was a lousy one for stocks, with the S&P falling by 1.9% and the Nasdaq tumbling 3.5%, its biggest drop since the year 2000 - the year the dot com bubble popped. The culprit for the plunge, of course, was the Fed, with the mid-week pivot coinciding with the release of the hawkish December FOMC minutes that hinted at not just a faster liftoff, but an even faster balance sheet drawdown. As a result, banks expect the Fed to hike either three or four times, with some expecting the Fed to announce QT in early H2, and Friday''s dismal jobs report which showed just 199K gains (vs. consensus of 450K) did not deter hawkish expectations as the unemployment rate - just a few years ago viewed as a completely meaningless statistic - fell to 3.9%, down 0.3% from 4.2% in November. Looking at the price action, Goldman''s David Kostin - who is of course, head of research and not an actual trader - points to the rapid move higher in yields catalyzed by the Fed statement, and which surged as high as 1.80% last week before settling around 1.76% after ending 2021 at 1.52%, a 24 bps rise over just 5 days.

The Q4 earnings season will begin next week with some of the largest banks and financial firms.
