Markets are often unpredictable and there have been plenty of surprises in 2022. In this week’s Market Wrap, we take a look at expectations versus reality, evaluating the trends that have played out this year and what they might signal about the path ahead.

A summary of last week's market highlights and economic news.

This past week, we saw equity markets fall, bond yields rise, and commodities sell-off as concerns around global demand heightened once more. Markets are now forecasting a 75 basis-point (0.75%) rate hike at the September FOMC meeting and a terminal fed funds rate of close to 4.0%, with any rate cut expectations removed from mid-2023 forecasts. However, while the near-term may be volatile, we see a case for markets to stabilize heading into year-end, driven by two key factors: midterm elections and a potential Fed pause by year-end.

Stocks have made a less-than-pleasant round trip this summer. Major indexes entered a bear market in June, rebounded sharply in July, and are on track to finish flat in August, returning to where they were three months ago. Because some of the worst-case-scenario risks have recently diminished, we think the direction of travel since the midsummer lows is justified. But strong headwinds to growth will remain, which is why we continue to expect a more bumpy and prolonged market recovery to the prior highs. With the Fed's Jackson Hole meeting marking the last major market event before the summer ends, we take a look at what's changed, what hasn't, and what the evolving conditions may mean for the road ahead.

Last week we saw both CPI and PPI inflation move lower. However, inflation remains elevated compared to almost any period in history, and we would expect the Federal Reserve to continue to push rates higher in this backdrop. Nonetheless, investors cheered this first step in the right direction, and if inflation continues to moderate consistently, markets could be poised for a more sustained rally towards the back half of this year or early 2023.
