Markets Smacked Down by Higher Than Expected Inflation

(11/11/21) Markets sell-off on news of 6.2% inflation that's NOT transitory; inflation is essentially an economic brake. Companies must decide whether to pass along price increases or reign-in operating costs. i. e., a reduction in labor. This dynamic will slow earnings, even as advances in the market have been keyed to rosier expectations about margins and earnings growth for 2022. What will be the impact as these expectations are adjusted downward? Look for a market re-evaluation sometime next year. Money flow Buy-signals have been triggered, and the MACD Buy-signal is in place; watch for a retracement back to the 50-DMA. Compounding this scenario: Holidays are looming, options expirations will hit next week, and mutual fund rebalancing--all will provide reasons to sell-off. We're taking profits from our bond holdings, and looking for an opportunity to add fixed-income back into portfolios heading into the New Year. - Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKTnsX3XhyU&list=PLVT8LcWPeAujOhIFDH3jRhuLDpscQaq16&index=1 -------- Register for our next Candid Coffee: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/6816352856714/WN_p3ja8GYaQROUvj65YhbyuQ -------- Visit our Site: www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to RIA Pro: https://riapro.net/home -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #Inflation #TransitoryInflation #EarningsEstimates #Margin #LaborCosts #Bonds #FixedIncome #RisingRates #InterestRates
