The reporting season so far hasn't been too disappointing. On the one hand, we have not seen companies presenting bad data because quite a few in the market feared that this is exactly what would actually happen. Inflationary pressures weigh on the economy as time goes by and the Fed will not give up until it sees real signs of giving in to the inflation that threatens to destroy the economy.

 

On the other hand, we have to remember that this is ultimately the stock market where people invest their best money in the hope of yielding them a return and profits. You can say that they "enjoyed" too much during the Corona period and now they are "paying" for it back and being sucked into the roller coaster that the stock market has been showing in recent months.

 

Analysts point to September-October as a turning point. In these months, approximately, we should know in the clearest way where we are headed. Is inflation under full control of the Fed, or is the economic situation dire and now a significant recession will begin. And yes, here too the answer is probably something in the middle.

 

A significant recession like that of 2008 will not be experienced now, and on the other hand the control of inflation will be estimated to be limited and slow. It could take two whole years until we see it drop below 2% as defined by the central banks, during which the interest rate will drop at a very measured rate while the stock market will not be satisfied.

The signs of moderation in global economic activity are increasing, but so far they do not indicate a sharp contraction in activity, while the moderation of inflation is slower than expected. This trend supports allowing the Fed's interest rate at its high level for an extended period of time, while expectations from the capital market are for interest rate decreases already in the coming months. The stock market embodies interest rate cuts starting in September. According to the interest rates inherent in the stock market, the Fed interest rate at the end of 2023 will drop to 4.5% (three interest rate reductions of 0.25% by the end of the year).

 
Week
 

The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index has fallen again in recent months and is at one of the historically low levels previously seen only in times of recession. In contrast, the Conference Board's consumer sentiment index, which represents a much larger sample, is still far from the levels seen during recessions.

 

The small business sentiment index recorded a decrease and it is also at the levels that characterize recession periods. Besides the problem of high inflation, businesses suffer greatly from the low quality of employees, much more than before the corona virus. Even the cost of employees is less disturbing. Quite surprisingly, businesses are not very bothered by high financing costs or low sales.
