Investing, for the most part, is all about the future. Each day thousands of investors flock to the stock market to try their hand at fate and become rich. At the same time, investing comes in all flavors which are geared to low and high risk appetites as well as short, medium, or long term horizons. For investors seeking to cash out on the short term, technical trading, and share price movements are their friends. Others who are focused on a longer horizon often look at the fundamentals of a particular stock and/or the broader economic environment and trends to try and see which way the market will head.

Speaking of which, 2023 has been all about the future as well. Investors entered the year worrying about the future and they'll leave it worrying about the future as well. At the start of 2023, the only future that anyone could think about was one that involved a recession. 2022's tail end had seen analysts far and wide warn about a recession in the wake of rapid interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Then, investors caught wind of the advanced nature of large language models (LLM) based artificial intelligence (A.I.) software shown off by the San Francisco, California based ChatGPT. Worried that they would miss out on future growth in the A.I. industry, investors piled billions into the technology sector - a decision that sent the shares of graphics processing unit (GPU) designer NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) soaring by a whopping 244% year to date.

Now, as 2023 is behind us, investors are still worried about the future. This future involves the Federal Reserve and its decisions to reduce interest rates. These future decisions are based on future data, and the only thing anyone can do is to see what the tea leaves in the present are saying. The leaves are all for the bulls right now, as multiple economic indicators in America are pointing towards a better future. Inflation is coming down after more than a year of devastation and the economy is ticking along - in a perfect mix of circumstances to achieve the Fed's hallowed 'soft economic landing' where the economy simply slows down instead of contracting in response to rapid interest rate hikes.

The latest bit on the inflationary front came in the form of the Commerce Department's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index. The PCE, particularly core PCE, is the Fed's preferred inflation indicator, and core and non core PCE readings for November 2023 showed that 3.2% and 2.6% on an annualized basis. Investors were joyous as this showed that prices fell for the first time in more than two years, which cemented their conviction that interest rate cuts are on the horizon - in the future of course.
