How do markets perform when the Fed pauses?
• Over the past 40 years the Fed has paused seven times after concluding a tightening cycle. Following the final rate hike, policymakers held rates steady for about six months on average (ranging from a month to a little over year) before proceeding to cut rates to stimulate the economy.
• Stocks performed strongly in five of these instances, while they declined only modestly the other two. Investment-grade bonds also experienced above-average returns, as yields peaked a couple of months before the last rate hike.
• Likely benefiting from the easing in yields and financial conditions, technology was the best-performing sector, with the exception of the Fed pause in 2000 that coincided with the tech bubble bursting.
• History suggests that a Fed pause can be a catalyst for lower bond yields and higher equity valuations. This is consistent with our view that balanced portfolios, like a 60/40 stock-bond mix, are poised for a rebound after a historically tough year.

• Evidence continues to build around moderating inflation. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) trajectory over the past three months, together with the signal from leading indicators of inflation (like the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) prices paid for inputs by manufacturing and services firms), indicates that core inflation could fall to 3% by year-end.
• The path of disinflation is unlikely to be a straight line and will require the labor-market tightness to ease. But even with the ongoing strength in job creation and historic low unemployment, wage pressures have started to moderate.

This graph (Bloomberg, Edward Jones calculations) shows the decline in prices paid by manufacturing and services firms as reported by the ISM Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) suggesting that inflation could drop towards 3% by the end of the year.
