A number of Wall Street strategists are predicting the S&P 500 (^GSPC) will be meaningfully higher by the end of 2024. Thornburg Co-Head of Investments Jeff Klingelhofer isn’t one of them. Klingelhofer tells Yahoo Finance Live that he thinks stocks will end 2024 “flat to down a little bit.” Klingelhofer believes that consumer resiliency and corporate spending is starting to slow and that, as a result, he would be “surprised if we’ve outright avoided a recession in 2024. I do expect a relatively mild one.” So where should you look to see signs of a recession coming? Watch the video above to find out. #stockmarket #yahoofinance #stockmarket About Yahoo Finance: […]
One of the big questions on Wall Street: When will the Federal Reserve start cutting interest rates. Fed leadership continues to keep an open mind as economic headwinds also continue to develop. The New York Times Columnist Paul Krugman joins Yahoo Finance to give insight into the Fed’s potential decisions and why he feels its time for the central bank to start cutting rates. Krugman affirms: “It’s definitely time for the Fed to cut rates. I’d like to compare that the economic numbers look a lot like they did in late 2019. The unemployment rate is about the same. The underlying inflation is just slightly higher, but very close to […]
December’s jobs report added another piece to the inflation puzzle for the Federal Reserve. With many moving parts, including 2023’s job growth, it’s becoming harder for Wall Street to truly know how the Fed will decide its next monetary policy move. PNC Asset Management Chief Investment Strategist Marc Dizard joins Yahoo Finance to give investors insight into managing a portfolio during times of uncertainty and how the timing of the Fed’s interest rate decision may be just as important as the move itself. “We’re running, I’ll say a slightly defensive playbook. So when I think of how to allocate portfolios right now, this isn’t the moment in time that we’re […]
December’s jobs report came in hotter than expected with the US adding 216,000 jobs, topping estimates of 175,000. While good news for some, this makes the Federal Reserve’s job a bit more difficult in terms of slowing the economy down to rein in inflation. Eugenio Alemán, Raymond James Chief Economist, joins Yahoo Finance to give insight into the jobs report data and how this will affect the Fed’s policy decisions going forward. Aelmán explains : “The jobs market is still very strong. That creates issues for the Fed because it is always the case that the job market could potentially remain too strong for inflation going forward. For now, the […]
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) January 10 deadline for a spot bitcoin ETF decision is less than a week away. Still pending approval, a green light by SEC regulators would allow firms to offer traders bitcoin (BTC-USD) ETFs, such as Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). VettaFi Financial Futurist Dave Nadig sits down with Yahoo Finance Live’s Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton in-studio to discuss the possibilities of SEC approval, calling it a “horse race” to have ETF offerings ready to go on the first available trading day. “I don’t think that this is going to be one of those things where we immediately have $10 billion in new assets show […]
Investors gear up for new buying opportunities as chatter around the Federal Reserve’s potentially cut rates by mid-2024 continue to make the rounds on Wall Street. Carson Group Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick joins Yahoo Finance anchor Rachelle Akuffo to discuss why he is more bullish on the overall stock market and how it will broaden out past the previously hyper-focused tech sector. “The [Russell 2,000] just had one of its largest two-month gains ever, like over 20%, the last two months last year,” Detrick says on broadening bullishness onto small and mid cap stocks. “What does that mean? We took a look at the ten best two-month periods ever… […]

December jobs data outpaced expectations, adding 216,000 jobs to the US labor market in the month alone and 2.7 million jobs in 2023 overall. Some economists are still characterizing the job market as “still hot” as US workers are experiencing quicker turnovers between jobs. Glassdoor Lead Economist Daniel Zhao sits down with Yahoo Finance Live in-studio to break down employee confidence metrics and employer sentiments coming out of the pandemic. “This isn’t 2021, 2022, where you could throw a stone and find a job opening. Right?” Zhao comments. “So, for now… job seekers have to do a little bit more research to find those industries or those parts of industries […]
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) prices have sured on hopes the Securities and Exchange Commission will approve a spot bitcoin ETF. But, according to Bernstein Global Digital Assets Managing Director and Senior Analyst Gautam Chhugani, there’s one thing that has made this rally different. Retail traders have been a big driver of the crypto market. As Chhugani points out, crypto-related bankruptcies and the collapse of FTX “directly hurt” investor confidence, primarily retail investor confidence, since institutions weren’t playing a big role. But that has changed. In this cycle, institutions are in the driver seat, according to Chhugani. “Institutions have always been laggards in any crypto… bull market. This time, actually, institutions have led […]
