Is the Fed Done? (6/15/23)

(6/15/23) How long can the markets' buying stampede continue? The markets' reaction to Fed rate pause announcement: Meh. The next logical point for correction is to 4,000. Markets didn't blink on less-than-dovish comments by Jerome Powell: Two more rate hikes are possible this year, but no commitment to do so in July. And why would the Fed cut rates, unless there's a problem? (Has the market mis-read the Fed?) The Fed calculates inflation in myriad ways. We've yet to see the full impact of rate hikes. Jeff Gundlach: Valuations are not in synch with Companies' performance. Markets are being driven by only a few stocks. Retail sales resist slowing down: Consumers are paying more but getting less. Inflation screws around w economic indicators. Johnson Red Book show retail sales flat; the phenomenon of labor hoarding.  SEG-1: Markets Don't Blink at Fed Decision SEG-2: The Fed's Hawkish Pause SEG-3: Jeff Gundlach commentary: Valuations are Not in Sync w Companies' Growth SEG-4: Retail Sales Resist Slowing Down, Confounding the Fed Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist Lance Roberts, CIO, w Portfolio Manager Michael Lebowitz, CFA Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer -------- Watch today's show on our YouTube channel:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf52TKKVu4A&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1&t=4s -------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell | "The Fed Pauses...at least for now" is here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPL8c4Q9Qtw&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 --------  Our previous show is here: "Are Higher Rates Here to Stay?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vEJN810ihY&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1&t=7s -------- Article Mentioned in Today's Show: "Relative Rotation – Unlocking the Hidden Potential Part 1" https://realinvestmentadvice.com/relative-rotation-unlocking-the-hidden-potential-part-1 ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment
