U.S. Stocks Show Strong Move Back To The Upside Following Fed Announcement

Following the sharp pullback seen in the previous session, stocks showed a strong move back to the upside during trading on Wednesday. With the rally, the major averages largely offset Tuesday’s steep losses.

The major averages pulled back off their best levels going into the close but remained sharply higher. The Nasdaq surged 246.67 points or 1.4 percent to 17,750.79, the S&P 500 jumped 60.63 points or 1.1 percent to 5,675.29 and the Dow climbed 383.32 points or 0.9 percent to 41,964.63.

Stocks showed a notable rebound early in the session and saw further upside following the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy announcement.

The Fed announced its widely expected decision to once again leave interest rates unchanged, but projections signaled the central bank is still likely to lower rates later this year.

The Fed said it decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 4.25 to 4.50 percent in support of its dual goals of maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run.

At the Fed’s last meeting in late January, the central bank also left rates unchanged after it lowered rates by a total of 100 basis points or 1.0 percentage point over the three previous meetings.

The accompanying statement noted “uncertainty around the economic outlook has increased,” and the Fed said it is “attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate.”

With regard to the outlook for rates, Fed officials still forecast rates in a range of 3.75 to 4.0 percent by the end of the year.

The forecast was unchanged from last December and suggests the Fed is likely to cut rates by a quarter point two times later this year.

Meanwhile, Fed officials lowered their projections for GDP growth in 2025 to 1.7 percent from 2.1 percent and raised their forecasts for consumer price growth this year to 2.7 percent from 2.5 percent.

The central bank also announced it has decided to slow the pace of decline of its securities holdings by reducing the monthly redemption cap on Treasury securities from $25 billion to $5 billion beginning in April.

“The Fed indirectly cut rates today by taking action to reduce the pace of runoff of its Treasury holdings,” said Jamie Cox, Managing Partner for Harris Financial Group. “The Fed has multiple things to consider in the balance of risks, and this move was one of the easiest choices.”

He added, “This paves the way for the Fed to eliminate runoff by summer, and, with any luck, inflation data will be in place where reducing the Federal Funds rate will be the obvious choice.”

Sector News

Airline stocks showed a strong move back to the upside after seeing significant weakness on Tuesday, with the NYSE Arca Airline Index soaring by 2.6 percent.

Significant strength was also visible among brokerage stocks, as reflected by the 2.4 percent surge by the NYSE Arca Broker/Dealer Index.

Computer hardware, networking and banking stocks also saw considerable strength, moving higher along with most of the other major sectors.

Other Markets

In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region turned in a mixed performance during trading on Wednesday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index dipped by 0.3 percent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index inched up by 0.1 percent.

The major European markets also ended the day mixed. While the German DAX Index fell by 0.4 percent, the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index closed just above the unchanged line and the French CAC 40 Index climbed by 0.7 percent.

In the bond market, treasuries turned positive in reaction to the Fed announcement after seeing weakness for most of the session. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, fell 2.5 basis points to 4.256 percent after reaching a high of 4.323 percent.

Looking Ahead

Trading on Thursday may be impacted by reaction to a slew of U.S. economic data, including reports on weekly jobless claims, existing home sales and leading economic indicators.

This started Feb 9m 1990, James Baker III the Sec of State said to Mikhail Gorbachav, NATO will not move one inch east wood if you agree to German Unification basically ending WW II. The US then cheated in 1994 when Clinton signed off on a plan to extend NATO all the way to Ukraine. This is when the so-called NEOCONS took power. Clinton as the first agent of this. Expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic. Russian shrugged that off thinking was no direct threat. Then the U.S. led the bombing of Servia in 1999. This was bad because because it was NATA bombing a European capital, Belgrade 78 days to break the country apart. Russians did not like that but Putin became President and swallowed it andu even started out pro-European and pro-American suggesting that they should join NATO thinking there was still some mutual respect. Then came 911 and Afghanistan and the Russians said we can support you to root out terror. In 2002 the U.S. unilaterally walked out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty which led to the US putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe which Russia views as a dire direct threat to national security, making possible a  strike’ on missiles a few minutes away from Moscow. US put in two AEGIS missile systems calling it ‘defense’. Russia asked how do we know its not Tomahawk nuclear tipped missiles. In 2003 we invaded Iraq on completely phony. In 2004-5 US was involved in a soft regime change in Ukraine. Called the ‘First Color Revolution. Put in President Yushchenko. US had it dirty hands in this meddling in other countries elections. In 2009 Yamukovych won the election and became President on the basis of neutrality for Ukraine. People of Ukraine did not want NATO. Country was divided between ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. ‘Why do want this? In 2014 the US participated actively in the overthrow of Yamukovych – a typical US regime change operation. In 2019 we walked out of the Intermediate Nuclear Force Treaty. In 2017 we walked out of the JCPOA Treaty with Iran. On Dec 15, 2021 Putin put on the table a draft US/Russia Security Agreement. The basis of it was no NATO enlargement. Jake Sullivan said the U.S. had an OPEN DOOR policy.

Yes, that’s a cartoon of me. Louis Rukeyser had us dressed up in ‘elf’ costumes on the screen broadcast each week. I’ve dated myself. That occurred for me between 1988-1996. Lou didn’t like any bearish comments, so myself and other elves got dumped in 1996.
