ETFs to maneuver market volatility ahead of election The 2024 US presidential election is less than two months away and Wall Street is only expecting markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) to be wrought with more market volatility (^VIX) the closer November 5 gets. BlackRock US head of thematic and active equity ETFs Jay Jacobs sits down with Brad Smith in-studio to elaborate on why ETFs (exchange-traded funds) could help investors maneuver market uncertainty "In two areas I would say, one, a lot of investors are still just trying to lock in yield right now. An ETF like BINC (BINC), which is managed by Rick Rieder at BlackRock, is really trying to capture high yield bonds (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX), emerging market bonds, collateralized loan obligations and really lock in some of those yields that can be, you know, five, six, almost 7%," Jacobs says. "The other area where we're seeing more interest right now is actually a little contrarian to the market, it's looking at value stocks." Jacobs expands upon BlackRock and iShare ETF aiding investors seeking to enter utilities, the manufacturing sector, and the AI trade.

This 'important pivot point' in bonds signals a slowdown ahead Treasure yields (^FVX, ^TNX, ^TYX) are tracking 15-month lows after August's Consumer Price Index (CPI) gave the Federal Reserve more data to consider as it moves toward its first interest rate cut. Newton Investment Management head of fixed income Ella Hoxha joins Catalysts to discuss the bond market's outlook when interest rates start to fall. "Bond markets have got accustomed to seeing lower inflation prints of late. And so typically, an inflation print that's in line to slightly higher is probably seen as a tiny, hawkish surprise. I mean, I don't want to overplay it, but, that's one explanation for the initial reaction," Hoxha tells Yahoo Finance. She explains that price action has been reversing after a "busy supply period of bond markets, particularly on the corporate sector side," and adds that it is "quite healthy" for bonds. Hoxha notes that the biggest beneficiary position for bonds is in the front end of the curve, and points to the rally of two-year bonds outperforming ten-year bonds. She explains that the disinversion of the yield curve has been an "important pivot point" for bond markets, which signals a potential economic slowdown ahead. She believes that the curve will continue to steepen, saying that she is closely watching jobs data as it has indicated a slowing of the economy. She adds, "We're certainly more on the camp that believes growth will surprise on the downside towards the end of this year or beginning of next year." "You can see the nervousness creeping in in markets, particularly as what the curve is telling you and what commodities are telling you is that we are heading for the slowdown. But credit markets and equity markets haven't so far agreed. I think we're tentatively seeing signs that that might be reversing, and therefore, it's quite an important time in financial markets as far as this year goes," she concludes.

August CPI solidifies 25bps cut from Fed: BMO economist The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading came in line with economist expectations for August, with prices rising 0.2% month-over-month and 2.5% year-over-year. Core CPI — which excludes food and energy costs — rose by 0.3% month-over-month, slightly above estimates. This inflation print comes ahead of the Federal Reserve's September FOMC meeting next week, where it is widely anticipated the central bank will begin to cut interest rates. To talk more about the data and what it tells about the Fed's rate cut plans, BMO Capital Markets senior economist Jennifer Lee and Yardeni Research chief markets strategist Eric Wallerstein sit down with the Morning Brief team. Both Lee and Wallerstein agreed that a 50-basis-point rate cut was never "in the cards" for the Fed, Wallerstein commented. "This report, this would be the fifth decent report in a row for the Fed, giving them the comfort and the confidence to cut again or to start cutting," Lee tells Yahoo Finance. "And I think 25 basis points is a good place to start." Regarding a stock market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) response to rate cuts, "I think if they [the Fed] went 50, equity markets would fall and bond markets (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX) would rise. I think it would signal the economy is, heading in the wrong direction. You know, we're behind the curve and then it would... kind of unleash the volatility (^VIX) that we saw with some of the carry trade unwind, as Japanese rates and US rates come closer together," Wallerstein says.

Bad news will no longer mean 'good news for stocks': Strategist As investors brace for volatility (^VIX) in late 2024 and ahead of the presidential election, Fundstrat Global Advisors managing director and global head of technical strategy Mark Newton joins Market Domination to share his market insights and broader outlook (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC). After the unwinding Japanese yen carry trade triggered a broader market sell-off this summer, Newton explains that the yen has regained some strength. "The positioning in the yen has actually grown a lot more bullish in recent months, and it's gone from really one of the most negative levels on record," he explains, while not expecting any more volatility to come from the unwind of the carry trade this year. Newton says that volatility is "a source of major discomfort... for everybody across all asset classes." However, he believes that the market is nearing a time where "bad news is no longer going to mean good news for stocks." He explains that the economy has weakened and bond yields (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX) have pulled back sharply: "My thinking is yields and the dollar are close to a short-term floor, which means further deterioration in economic data likely would be more of a negative than a positive for stocks." Newton reiterates that September is a historically tough month for markets and encourages investors to do their research before taking up new positions as the Federal Reserve begins its interest rate cutting cycle.
