2016 Economic Forecast (Barry Habib)
Market Commentary (Neil Trennery)
Market Commentary (Dan Rawitch)
We talked about a run up to 102.50 and it is upon us! This is a full on bull market for quality bonds and on full on bear market for stocks. It seems all that I predicted last year, is happening this year. Last year, all the silly talk about the FED raising rates kept the market in a numb and irrational state. When the FED finally acted and the market saw what we already knew (that being a so-what attitude), it began moving a more normal pattern. Today we had ADP beat expectations and ISM services miss expectations, but the market does not care either way, it wants to run. We may stall out at 102.50 to take a breather and let some profits fall from the table. If you have deals to lock, this is not a bad time to do so, ALthough I believe we have much farther to run, I am not sure how much more we will get today. The big news comes Friday!
