Last week's jump in U.S. retail sales together with January's blowout jobs report paint the picture of an exceptionally strong economy. This backdrop is hardly what one would expect from an economy that is still navigating inflationary pressures and the most aggressive central bank tightening cycle in four decades. Which begs the question, does the Fed need to do more? The bond market appears to think so, but equities remain unfazed.

Given what we learned last week, we share our thoughts on how the market narrative might evolve and how some of the existing market tensions might be resolved.

It's easy to get influenced by what you see in the media when it comes to investing. However, it's important not to get caught up in the latest 'hot' investment or panic when there are declines in the market. Instead of chasing short-term performance, look to your long-term financial goals and see if your financial strategy is meeting them.
