S&P 500 (SPY) Report – 9/07/22

Good morning traders! 

The S&P 500 ($SPY) is trading near yesterday’s close. Let’s get into it…

The S&P 500 is down 7% from its prior close and the Nasdaq is down close to 9%, after Jerome Powell gave his speech at Jackson Hole less than two weeks ago. With two weeks until the next interest rate decision, the Fed wants to be absolutely certain that markets understand that reducing inflation is its top goal. Lael Brainard and Michael Barr, the Fed’s vice chairs, both give speeches today. Powell will take part in a talk at the Cato Institute tomorrow. 

Investors still believe the Fed is on the verge of getting inflation under control, despite the fact that early expectations of a pullback on rate increases were crushed at Jackson Hole. Bill Ackman, the founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, believes that pricing pressures will decrease “a lot” and equities will soon resume their upward trend. In the spring, Ackman criticized the Fed for not acting strongly enough.
