State of the Market Note

Yesterday (13 Aug), Goldman analysts predicted rate cuts coming in only in 2Q2024, and even that, there was no urgency to cut rates because there would not be any recession.

This is completely understandable and would exactly be what i'd say which means rates would be really sticky, and worse, there would always be a risk of a rate increase if inflation rears its head again. But would that happen? No one knows.

At this time, even though we have predictions of a soft landing, I am wondering if one of 2 things would happen: 1. a recession occurs bad, like the one which happened exactly 4 yrs ago. 2. an invisible hand wanted to supercharge the economy ahead of the elections.

In any case, we need to be very careful given the opportunity costs of choosing risk over the current delicious risk free money market rates. There could yet be another rate hike in September. For that reason, it will be difficult for me to justify a long position just yet.

Analysis:
1. no change, looking for a long entry in October
2. may or may not depending on Fed decision in September
