“It happens 100% of the time when the cycle is obviously slowing,” McCullough explains. “If you measure and map the economic data daily like we do, you would have to be willfully blind to not know that the economy is slowing and that profits are going negative year-over-year.” “Once the MOVE starts moving it means the market is effectively pricing in interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve,” Dale adds. “The faster the MOVE moves out, the more the market doesn’t believe the Fed’s communication.” |
