BREAKING: The FED Cancels ALL Rate Cuts - Stock Market Melt-Up Has Begun!
AI Summary
Graham Stephan discusses the current state of the market, which he describes as one of the strongest stock market rallies in history, nearing all-time highs, with home sales increasing and Bitcoin up 13%. He suggests this could be the start of a "great meltup" before an eventual downturn. A major concern is inflation, driven by rising oil prices, which have increased from $57 to over $100 a barrel, potentially raising inflation by 0.7% and contributing to the Federal Reserve's decision to pause all rate cuts for the foreseeable future, with the market now pricing in the next cut for October 2027. Stephan highlights a significant divergence between the booming stock market, which is forward-looking, and consumer sentiment, which is at a 70-year low, reflecting current struggles with grocery and oil prices. He notes that historically, low consumer sentiment has often been a good time to invest. Regarding Bitcoin, he observes institutional money flowing into ETFs and mentions MicroStrategy surpassing the US government as the largest holder, despite Bitcoin being down 30% from its peak. For the housing market, while national prices are up 1.4% year-over-year, Zillow forecasts 0% growth for the next 12 months, with anticipated drops in Sun Belt regions and flatness on the West Coast, while northern markets may see increases. Mortgage rates, influenced by oil prices and inflation expectations, remain high, with Yahoo Finance predicting a modest fall to 5.7% by 2030. Stephan also discusses the impending departure of Jerome Powell as Fed Chair on May 15th, with Kevin Warsh expected to take over, a move that historically has led to a 16% average stock market decline. Despite market volatility and uncertainty, Graham Stephan advocates for a consistent, long-term investing strategy, emphasizing that timing the market is impossible and that staying invested through downturns has historically yielded significant returns.
