Market Signals by LPL Financial

In the latest LPL Market Signals podcast, LPL Financial’s Chief Equity Strategist Jeffrey Buchbinder and Chief Fixed Income Strategist Lawrence Gillum recap the best week of the year for the S&P 500, share some reasons to like municipal bonds, and preview this week’s Federal Reserve meeting.

Stocks surged last week thanks in large part to Wednesday’s turnaround sparked by artificial intelligence darling NVIDIA (NVDA) and increasing optimism surrounding Fed rate cuts.

Next, the strategists discussed how the election outcome could impact municipal bonds. With the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act set to expire in 2025, unless there is legislative action, tax rates could be headed higher, which means municipal bonds may appear more attractive compared with taxable alternatives.

Last, the strategists discussed the week ahead when all eyes will of course be on the Federal Reserve and the near-certain first interest rate cut in four years. According to news reports, the Fed is split between a 0.25% cut and 0.50% cut on Wednesday, but the path of rate cuts into 2025 may be more important.

In the latest LPL Market Signals podcast, LPL strategists discuss the S&P 500 Index’s rebound back to near record highs and highlight several key takeaways from the Federal Reserve’s meeting last week in Jackson Hole, WY.

Stocks enjoyed a solid week last week as markets celebrated the Federal Reserve’s clear message that the time had come to begin cutting interest rates. The Fed will remain data dependent, but 3 rate cuts seems likely by year end. Small caps enjoyed especially strong gains, benefiting from interest rate sensitivity.

With regard to small caps, the strategists suggest that the excitement around the asset class may be overdone given the mixed historical performance relative to large caps around the start of Fed rate cutting cycles.

Next, the strategists discuss what Fed policy means for the U.S. dollar and potential market implications of dollar weakness and highlight some encouraging messages from retailers during earnings season.

Last, the strategists preview the week’s busy economic calendar that includes the important core PCE deflator, the Fed’s preferred inflation measure.
