The Markets' Bet: No Recession (6/8/23)

(6/8/23) Markets' bet on Small Caps: No Recession? Next FOMC Meeting: Higher rates to come? Sector rotation may have short shelf life; Why are Friday's the best trading days of the week in 2023? The difficult dichotomy between markets & data. The surge in credit card debt, even as rates rise. Markets are momentarily "calm" as the Fed allows tighter bank lending standards to dampen economic growth. Meanwhile, the Fed has a "transitory" problem: policy is now more about politics. Market expectations vs reality: What is the market telling us about recession? What is Sector Rotation activity telling us? Options volume is off the charts; What is the VIX measuring? Is the VIX broken (it's a statistical metric)? "Passive" investing is not an accurate term; is "passive" becoming active? Speculation is a function of excess liquidity: The Fed is a factor in the market.  SEG-1: Markets' Bet on Small Caps: No Recession SEG-2: Momentary Calm in Markets as Fed Allows Banks to Buffer Growth SEG-3: What is Sector Rotation Activity Telling Us? SEG-4: Is the VIX Broken?
