That doesn&#39;t mean there&#39;s &#34;100% odds&#34; of an economic contraction, he said, &#34;but it&#39;s definitely clearly showing credit markets think there&#39;s a risk.&#34;</p><p>Spreads over Treasurys for high-yield debt, or junk bonds, have similarly increased, according to Graff.</p><p>&#34;U.S. corporate bond spreads continue to move higher even though 10-year Treasury yields peaked 3 weeks ago,&#34; said Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, in a note emailed July 6. &#34;Spreads tend to rise when markets are increasingly uncertain about future corporate cash flows, and that has been the case most of this year.&#34;</p><p>Investors worry about cash flows drying up in an economic slowdown as that may hinder companies from reinvesting in their businesses, or make it more difficult for cash-strapped borrowers to meet their financial obligations.</p><p>The U.S. stock market has sunk this year after a repricing of valuations that looked stretched as rates rose.

A chart in his third-quarter outlook report illustrates this finding.</p><p>&#34;We are not calling for a recession, but we are cognizant that the risks of a recession are rising,&#34; DeSpirito said in the note. &#34;The Fed is tightening monetary policy, bringing an end to &#39;easy money&#39; policies,&#34; he said, while 30-year mortgage rates have about doubled since last year to nearly 6% today, inflation is starting to &#34;erode household savings&#34; and &#34;inventories of goods are elevated as both pandemic-induced supply shortages and voracious demand ease.&#34;</p><p>All three major U.S. stock benchmarks ended Wednesday higher after the release of minutes of the Fed&#39;s last policy meeting. The S&amp;P 500  gained 0.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite  rose 0.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average  edged up 0.2%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why a Rally in Growth Stocks Could Signal \"Peak\" Fed Hawkishness Has Passed</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWhy a Rally in Growth Stocks Could Signal \"Peak\" Fed Hawkishness Has Passed\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-07-07 07:21</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>If tech can sustain outperformance that will mean the market thinks the Fed has passed &#39;peak hawkishness,&#39; according to Sevens Report</p><p>Growth stocks have outperformed value equities recently as investors begin to question if the Federal Reserve has passed peak hawkishness already with its plans to raise rates to combat high inflation.</p><p>Recent bets on fed-funds futures have pointed toward a potential pivot back to rate cuts at some point next year, while 10-year yields on U.S. government debt have fallen below 3%.

That doesn't mean there's \"100% odds\" of an economic contraction, he said, \"but it's definitely clearly showing credit markets think there's a risk.\"Spreads over Treasurys for high-yield debt, or junk bonds, have similarly increased, according to Graff.\"U.S. corporate bond spreads continue to move higher even though 10-year Treasury yields peaked 3 weeks ago,\" said Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, in a note emailed July 6. \"Spreads tend to rise when markets are increasingly uncertain about future corporate cash flows, and that has been the case most of this year.\"Investors worry about cash flows drying up in an economic slowdown as that may hinder companies from reinvesting in their businesses, or make it more difficult for cash-strapped borrowers to meet their financial obligations.The U.S. stock market has sunk this year after a repricing of valuations that looked stretched as rates rose. Growth stocks, including shares of technology-related companies, have taken a steep drop in 2022.The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite plunged 29.5% during the first half of this year, while the S&P 500 dropped 20.6%.Growth stocks are particularly sensitive to rising rates as their anticipated cash flow streams are far out into the future. But with rates recently falling amid recession concerns, they've recently been gaining ground after being trounced by value-style bets over a stretch that began late last year.Since June 10, the Russell 1000 Growth Index  has eked out a gain of 0.5% through Wednesday,  while the Russell 1000 Value Index  dropped about 3.7% over the same period, FactSet data show.Upcoming company earnings reports for the second quarter should give investors a \"clearer picture\" of what companies expect in terms of demand for their goods and services in the second half of 2022, as well as which direction stocks will be headed, according to Graff.\"Some amount of earnings slowdown is priced in,\" he said of the equities market. \"In our view, if earnings are mildly lower in the second half but companies see them rebounding in '23, that's probably a pretty good outcome for stocks.\"In prior recessions, the average earnings drop for the S&P 500 was 13%, with the global financial crisis, or GFC, skewing the results, according to Tony DeSpirito, BlackRock's chief investment officer for U.S. fundamental equities. A chart in his third-quarter outlook report illustrates this finding.\"We are not calling for a recession, but we are cognizant that the risks of a recession are rising,\" DeSpirito said in the note. \"The Fed is tightening monetary policy, bringing an end to 'easy money' policies,\" he said, while 30-year mortgage rates have about doubled since last year to nearly 6% today, inflation is starting to \"erode household savings\" and \"inventories of goods are elevated as both pandemic-induced supply shortages and voracious demand ease.\"All three major U.S. stock benchmarks ended Wednesday higher after the release of minutes of the Fed's last policy meeting. The S&P 500  gained 0.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite  rose 0.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average  edged up 0.2%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":122,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9079241626,"gmtCreate":1657208782665,"gmtModify":1676535969933,"author":{"id":"4096805201947160","authorId":"4096805201947160","name":"Gerald22","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/adf112fdf135d8cfc3c95032a3f124a0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096805201947160","authorIdStr":"4096805201947160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9079241626","repostId":"9079043536","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9079043536,"gmtCreate":1657126949625,"gmtModify":1676535954182,"author":{"id":"3581588777175482","authorId":"3581588777175482","name":"samcheong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/899b69b03cbfd56f5adf8f346fdec999","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581588777175482","authorIdStr":"3581588777175482"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/A35.SI\">$ABF SG BOND ETF(A35.SI)$</a>xnxnh","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/A35.SI\">$ABF SG BOND ETF(A35.SI)$</a>xnxnh","text":"$ABF SG BOND ETF(A35.SI)$xnxnh","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/96402525daf95bcce5559a7ba1336f79","width":"1080","height":"2982"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9079043536","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":47,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9079241455,"gmtCreate":1657208790177,"gmtModify":1676535969940,"author":{"id":"4096805201947160","authorId":"4096805201947160","name":"Gerald22","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/adf112fdf135d8cfc3c95032a3f124a0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4096805201947160","idStr":"4096805201947160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9079241455","repostId":"2249546463","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":122,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9079241626,"gmtCreate":1657208782665,"gmtModify":1676535969933,"author":{"id":"4096805201947160","authorId":"4096805201947160","name":"Gerald22","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/adf112fdf135d8cfc3c95032a3f124a0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4096805201947160","idStr":"4096805201947160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9079241626","repostId":"9079043536","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9079043536,"gmtCreate":1657126949625,"gmtModify":1676535954182,"author":{"id":"3581588777175482","authorId":"3581588777175482","name":"samcheong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/899b69b03cbfd56f5adf8f346fdec999","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3581588777175482","idStr":"3581588777175482"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/A35.SI\">$ABF SG BOND ETF(A35.SI)$</a>xnxnh","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/A35.SI\">$ABF SG BOND ETF(A35.SI)$</a>xnxnh","text":"$ABF SG BOND ETF(A35.SI)$xnxnh","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/96402525daf95bcce5559a7ba1336f79","width":"1080","height":"2982"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9079043536","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":47,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
