Tough Talking Fed Rattles Markets | September 2022 Webinar Recap

Stubborn inflation, central bank policy, and a potential recession remain at the forefront of investors’ minds as the market continues to slide. In our latest webinar, Stratos Private Wealth President Jeff Brown discusses the latest inflation data, how the Fed is responding, and what the rest of the year could look like for the market. Here are the key takeaways:

• It’s all about inflation and central banks.
• While there are signs inflation has peaked, we have been surprised before.
• Fed hike expectations have dropped dramatically in recent weeks.
• Recession indicators have increased, but the timing and ‘declaration’ is not the best strategy for tactical asset management.
• Extreme Pessimism is a positive in an otherwise dreary market.
• Stratos Private Wealth will monitor the four-step bottoming process of: Oversold, Rally, Retest and Breadth thrusts to determine next equity portfolio adjustment.

We continue to monitor the latest data from our research partners and are prepared to make tactical changes. As always, our team is here to answer any questions about your personal situation.
