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.

‘Definitely time for the Fed to cut rates’: NYT’s Krugman

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 […]

How potential Fed rate cuts and markets could be impacted by a strong labor market

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 […]

Why the December jobs report could delay interest rate cuts: Economist

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 […]

Spot bitcoin ETFs: What investors need to know

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) January 10 deadline for a spot bitcoin ETF decision is less than a week away.
