Allyn Stockton Jr. , who made his first court appearance for Giuliani last week, isn’t well-known outside of North Georgia. Perhaps his biggest claim to fame was a 2015 appearance before a congressional panel looking into a bear-hunting sting carried out by authorities along the Georgia-North Carolina border.

☆ This classic recession indicator just hit its lowest level since 1981—here's what it means for you
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( Ryan Ermey | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

So when the yield curve does make headlines, it's generally because it's setting off some alarm bells among market watchers. In general terms, that means short-term bonds are paying higher interest rates than long-term bonds. An inverted yield curve is a classic signal that a recession is on the horizon. An inverted yield curve makes the math unprofitable for banks in many cases. But in another sense, an inverted yield curve presaging a recession is sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

☆ The credit crunch is getting worse and bankruptcies are on the rise

David Tesher: Before we were forecasting a short and shallow recession, but we no longer think there’s going to be a recession. Hard decisions are being made, and that’s going to feed back into corporate growth prospects. As economic conditions slow, credit is becoming tighter and companies are defaulting at a faster pace than they have. So yes, some corporations are distressed, but this isn’t something affecting the entire market, which is what you’d associate with a broad credit crunch. Big Tech is back with a vengeanceLast year was rough for tech companies: Tech stocks fell more than 30% in 2022, while the overall market dropped 20%.

Against this backdrop, investors will head into the final week of June with a relatively light economic calendar. However, those few data sets could provide investors with clues on how the market will fare going into the second half. Key inflation data ahead Of note next week is the core personal consumption expenditures index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge. Reports to watch out for include Tuesday's new home sales and Thursday's pending home sales data, both for May. Elsewhere, BTIG's Jonathan Krinsky warned this week the downside for tech names could be as "equally impressive" as their rally.

☆ Despite recent good news, many on Wall Street still see a recession coming
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-21 | by ( Jeff Cox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Despite some recent positive signs for the U.S. economy, the Wall Street consensus is holding out belief that a recession is lurking. Still, LPL doesn't see "another 2008" even though "investors should anticipate some volatility as the economic outlook remains cloudy." However, Wall Street persists in worries that the central bank will not be able to engineer its hoped-for soft landing. "Optimism around a soft landing [is] growing with the rally in equities and strong labor market," Horneman said. "We believe the chance of a soft landing is unlikely."

☆ Next questions for markets center on its skinny rally and the chance of a Fed derailment

"The underlying numbers in the report today show that the Fed can probably feel comfortable with maybe one more rate hike, and then pausing." Or, at least those concerns were true until Friday's explosive rally, when more than six New York Stock Exchange issues rose for every one that fell, and all 11 sectors in the S & P 500 gained. Friday's advance carried the S & P 500 to its highest since Aug. 18, 2022, when the benchmark closed at 4,283.74. Another favorable straw in the wind may simply be the fact that the 11.2% rally in the S & P 500, just since the mid-March lows accompanying the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, is so hated and mistrusted.

New York CNN —Wall Street has been hit with a barrage of complex signals about the economy’s health over the past month. From banking turmoil to weakening jobs data to slowing inflation, and now the start of earnings season, investors have remained largely resilient. So, how should investors protect their portfolios? Investors say there isn’t one asset that Wall Street should pile all their bets on, but there are fundamentals that should underlie their investment strategies. Doug Fincher, portfolio manager at Ionic Capital Management, says investors should brace their portfolios against inflation.

New York CNN —Corporate guidance statements will be front and center as earnings season kicks off, with investors trying to gauge the economy’s temperature. Analysts forecast that first-quarter earnings for companies in the S&P 500 will fall 6.8% from the same period the previous year, according to FactSet. “We all expect earnings to be less than stellar,” says Shana Sissel, chief executive officer at Banríon Capital Management. Earnings season for banks starts on Friday with JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, BlackRock, Citigroup and PNC Financial Services slated to report before the bell. Still, earnings are just one factor driving markets, and inflation remains a key concern for the Fed.

Stocks were unable to continue Wednesday's rally because investors were awaiting a key jobs report coming Friday, said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda. He said investors were purposefully pulling back ahead of non-farm payroll data coming in the morning. Investors will be looking for the right, middle-ground data, said Megan Horneman, chief investing officer at Verdence Capital Advisors. With "a so-so number, I think the markets can maybe rally on that," she added. "But if you get a really weak number, it's just going to spook investors after such a strong rally we've seen in November."

For more than a decade, tech stocks have always come back when their prices slumped. Tech stocks have gotten cheaper in a hurry, with some big names at their cheapest prices in years. Shares of Meta (META) traded under $100 a share Thursday. That's going to hurt the tech sector, and the ongoing inflation problem and tighter financial conditions also spell trouble. On top of all that, while shares are down these tech stocks are really nowhere near a bargain because they've outperformed so dramatically for so long.
