Hedge with Commodities:
Gold and other hard assets remain attractive as a hedge against inflation and market volatility.
December 18, 2024 at 9:39 PM
Watch for Pullbacks:
Indices like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ could see corrections, presenting buying opportunities.

Use support levels, such as Fibonacci retracements, to identify entry points.

Investor Strategy Going Forward:
Be Selective in Stocks:
Focus on sectors resilient to rate uncertainty, such as energy, healthcare, and financials.

Look for large-cap companies with strong balance sheets and consistent cash flows.

Gold remains attractive as a hedge against economic uncertainty and lower real yields.

Consumer Spending and Real Estate:
Slower rate cuts keep mortgage rates elevated, which could dampen housing recovery.
Consumer sectors may face pressure if job growth cools further.
December 18, 2024 at 9:39 PM
Financials (Banks):
Slower cuts support interest income for banks.
However, ongoing uncertainty could limit near-term upside.

Commodities and Energy:
Inflation fears and rate delays can support oil and gold prices.

Growth and Tech Stocks (NASDAQ):

Higher discount rates hurt future earnings, leading to sell-offs.

Tech stocks will rebound once the market sees clarity on the Fed's plans for 2025.

4. Market Sentiment Going Forward
Short-term: Increased volatility. Markets will react to inflation data, job reports, and Fed commentary.

Medium-term: Markets will look for signals that the Fed is confident inflation is under control to justify cuts.

However, the labor market "cooling" could mean risks to economic strength if rates stay too high.
This creates two opposing pressures:

Too many cuts: Risk of reigniting inflation.

Too few cuts: Risk of slowing the economy and weakening the job market.

3. Inflation vs. Growth Dilemma
Inflation remains just above the 2% target, which has stalled progress.

Robust economic growth and a strong job market give the Fed room to slow cuts.
December 18, 2024 at 9:39 PM
Financial Sector: Banks benefit from higher rates, but a slower cutting cycle creates uncertainty around margins and lending.

Energy and Commodities: Inflation concerns could keep commodities like oil supported in the short term.

2. Impact on Key Sectors
Technology Stocks: The Nasdaq’s sharp drop (-2.5%) shows that growth sectors are sensitive to rate policy. Lower rates support growth stocks, but slower cuts mean higher discount rates linger longer.

1. Immediate Market Reaction: Negative
The Dow dropped over 600 points (-1.5%), the S&P 500 fell 1.9%, and the Nasdaq declined 2.5%.
This suggests investor disappointment: markets may have been expecting more aggressive rate cuts to fuel growth.

Lol...I think you are missing point here.
The image clearly says "Data as at Nov 25, 2024" so even if I posted 14hrs ago doesn't change the time of the data.
