GM shoves aside recession fears with robust 2023 forecast By Reuters

(Bloomberg) — Stocks pared losses as comments from a Federal Reserve official brought some relief to investors worried about an even more aggressive pace of rate hikes plunging the economy into a recession.

Most Read from Bloomberg

The S&P 500 cut its drop by about half after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said he supports a 75-basis-point hike in July, but could vote for more if data show further inflation risks. Traders reduced bets slightly on a 100-basis-point move. The dollar trimmed gains, while the two-year US yield was flat.

“We do not believe investors should start to get overly bullish if the Fed becomes less hawkish at some point this summer or early fall,” wrote Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak. “Yes, if they completely pivot,” he added, “THAT will be a time to become much more constructive on the stock market.”

Equities still headed toward a fifth straight day of declines as disappointing results from two Wall Street heavyweights added to recession worries. JPMorgan Chase & Co. temporarily halted buybacks as earnings fell short of estimates, while Morgan Stanley announced a plunge in investment-banking revenues.

JPMorgan’s boss Jamie Dimon, who has told investors to brace for an economic “hurricane,” noted he sees a “serious set of issues” clouding the economic outlook. Meantime, Morgan Stanley’s chief James Gorman said a deep or dramatic recession in the US is unlikely, and the bank is “long the US” in most of its businesses.

Mortgage rates in the US rose, resuming an upward climb that threatens to further cool the housing market. The average for a 30-year loan jumped to 5.51% from 5.3% last week, Freddie Mac said in a statement Thursday. It’s up from 3.11% at the end of last year.

Shrinking the Fed’s $8.9 trillion balance sheet will have an effect over time equivalent to no more than three quarter-point interest-rate hikes, according to a new study by a Fed Bank of Atlanta economist. That suggests the asset reductions will have a relative modest effect compared to rate hikes to counter inflation.

“We remain skeptical that the Fed can pull off simultaneously normalizing its balance sheet, controlling inflation, and avoiding severe market disruptions,” said Richard Saperstein, chief investment officer at Treasury Partners. “We’re increasingly concerned that investors may be forced to endure more downside volatility in this tricky environment.”

Elsewhere, cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network Ltd. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but Bitcoin took the news in stride. The digital token may be regaining its long-touted appeal as an inflation hedge.
