Will The U.S. Economy Finally Slow Down? 📉
The U.S. economy continues to defy expectations.
At the start of 2023, economic forecasters widely anticipated a recession.
Yet, the economy surged forward 🚀
These forecasters, once bitten twice shy, had also predicted a downturn in 2022.
Now, as we venture into 2024, a sense of caution prevails.
The new prediction? A sharp slowdown 🐢
From a robust 3.3% growth in Q4 of 2023, expectations have been tempered to a mere 0.8% in Q1 of 2024.
But here's the twist:
The strength of the equity market in January hints at a more optimistic reality.
Perhaps, the forecasters are too gloomy again.
The real litmus test? 1Q GDP data released in April, eagerly awaited to reveal the true economic pulse.
The Media Turns To The Narrative Of The Narrow Rally Scare Yet Again 🚩
Once more, the financial media waves the flag of concern.
This time, over the "narrow rally" in the S&P 500.
A harbinger of a stock market downturn? So they suggest.
This narrative isn't new; it's been a recurring theme since the rally began on October 12, 2022 📆
The claim? It's all about the "magnificent 7" – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla 🚀
A recent Wall Street Journal article highlighted how these tech giants fueled a 2.5% rally in the S&P 500 in January, while the smaller cap Russell 2000 Index dipped by 2.4%.
But here's the missing piece 🧩
Over the last three months, the Russell 2000 is up a notable 20.9%, outpacing the S&P 500's 18.8% rise.
This tells a different story 👀
A "narrow rally" doesn't necessarily spell disaster; it might just signal which sectors are currently undervalued.

His agenda? Slashing government bureaucracy, tackling corruption, privatizing state enterprises, and aligning Argentina with free-market democracies 🌐
Despite inheriting a country burdened with debt and high inflation, Millei's policies are winning investor confidence.
But challenges loom with the left-wing stronghold in Argentina's governance.
