Market Recap & Upcoming Week

2023 closed on a high note for investors, with all 11 asset classes tracked in a common framework showing positive returns, a stark contrast to the previous year when cash was the only positive asset class.

Bonds, despite a turbulent year, have surged in the past couple of months, offering both attractive income and the potential for more price gains.

This upswing serves as a lesson on the benefits of staying invested, regardless of sometimes grim headlines.

Looking to 2024, the market may face various challenges, but optimism is warranted.

There’s a consensus that interest rates have reached their zenith, with the Federal Reserve setting the stage for potential rate reductions. Inflation appears to be easing, corporate profits are on the mend, and, except for the big gainers of the year, valuations are generally sensible.

As investors return from the New Year’s Day holiday, they face a packed week of economic data releases and a fresh round of corporate earnings.

The Atlanta Federal Reserve’s GDP projection will set the tone, complemented by insights from construction spending and factory orders.

The FOMC minutes release is highly anticipated, offering a deeper dive into the rationale behind the Fed’s latest interest rate decision, which could sway market sentiments.

The week’s highlight is Friday’s employment report, expected to draw significant investor focus, while additional labor market details will emerge from job openings, initial jobless claims, and private-sector employment data.

On the earnings front, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Conagra Brands, and Constellation Brands stand out as major companies reporting this week, potentially impacting market movements.
