The opinions expressed below are my own
There’s little else to say. The world isn’t significantly different than last Friday. Headlines have been immaterial. And with the news vacuum, the market drifts higher.
Quiet has been an ally of the bulls for a few years. Quiet hit a snag earlier this year. It looks like quiet is back and investors are deriving confidence from it.
Prediction: it’ll continue until we get a shocker of a news item.
The big *anticipated
* event next week is the FOMC decisionon Wednesday
. Fed Funds futures are predicting an 86% of a 25 bip hike and a 14% chance of a 50 bip hike.So the market expects a hike. The unknown is how hawkish the language will be.
Have a great weekend, see youMonday
