About this episode
Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3OoSkpj
From what I had initially thought would be a relatively quiet day in markets given the economic calendar, we ended up with a good amount of news to chew through in choppy markets with stocks selling off, a bid in bonds and volatility continuing its week-long climb. China reported softer than expected trade activity in exports and imports, reflecting its continued anemic recovery post-pandemic and further softness in its attempt to shift more towards a consumption-based economy.
Following Fitch's downgrade on US debt last week, Moody's joined the downgrade party lowering the credit rating on ten small and mid-sized US banks today, issuing a negative outlook on over a dozen larger banks. Higher rates, an inverted yield curve, and concern in commercial real estate, not to mention the stress earlier in the year with SVB/FRB, all seem well-known at this point, so this felt a bit behind the curve. Stocks traded lower on the news down over 450 points by mid morning before regaining through the rest of the day closing down only modestly. All fully unpacked in the podcast video link below.
