Is This What a Soft Landing Looks Like?

With Nonfarm payrolls coming in above estimates, and wage growth softer than expected, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said today that “the Fed needs to stay the course” with regards to raising interest rates in 2023. U.S. equities rallied on the news — essentially calling the Fed’s bluff as the market prices in a pause in the coming months and rate cuts in the latter half of the year. On today’s show, Maggie Lake sits down with Peter Boockvar, CIO of Bleakly Advisory Group, to sift through the market’s response to mixed economic data and hear why Peter believes that the Fed is almost done hiking rates. As he wrote in the latest edition of The Boock Report, Peter believes that the market won’t find a bottom “until everyone throws in the investing towel not wanting to ever own a stock again.” He’ll share where he believes we’re at in that process, and where he’s looking for opportunities along the way. Plus, we’ll also see a clip from our new series, Steno’s Signals, with Andreas Steno Larsen, on what falling inflation means for equities and energy.
