☆ Cramer: Earnings take center stage this week, but don't sleep on the Fed and Treasury
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-28 | by ( Jim Cramer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +11 min

It's ironic: We are at a moment where supply of money and demand for goods are intersecting. We have two markets: the Treasury market and the equity market, with the first more powerful than the second, even if we can't tell that in the scrum of earnings announcements. If the Fed signals more rate cuts, then we will be set up for higher stock prices if the companies deliver good earnings. The possibility of higher earnings so far has been controlled by supply and demand and the disinflation it is breeding, which may continue this week. Hence the power of their earnings to generate the mask of a higher market price-to-earnings ratio.

Lower rates with higher job growth — an uncertain positive that I can't recall ever seeing — may be upon us. If you take the existential off the table and realize the market strength the bears cannot see, you actually want to own stocks.

Some analysts warn that rising yields could push up borrowing costs, causing the economic slowdown investors are now betting against. The key question is how much further bear steepening the market needs to see for "investors to become nervous," he added. In 2018, for instance, the curve shifted to a bear-steepening dynamic as the economy appeared to hold up well despite the Fed's tightening. Risks remain, however, warned Jonathan Cohn, head of US Rates Desk Strategy at Nomura Securities International, including the pain for companies refinancing debt at higher rates and China's weakening growth. BEARISH BETSSome investors are worried that Powell’s speech at the Fed's annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, could trigger a short squeeze.

☆ Recession 2023: Jerome Powell's Legacy Will Dictate Inflation, Stock Market, Economy

This obsession with controlling inflation — and potentially causing serious pain for average Americans — is driven by one major factor: legacy. High inflation eats away at consumers' purchasing power, and persistent inflation seeps into expectations for price and wage adjustments, which further fuel inflation. What's more, the full impact of the Fed's rate hikes have yet to hit. Legacy actsThere are signs that certain Fed officials are ready to dial back on the inflation fight. And navigating such a tricky economy — without throwing hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work — could cement Powell's legacy.

☆ Investors betting on short-term gains will miss out when Powell ‘wins the game,’ Cramer says

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday advised investors to think of the bigger picture when it comes to the Federal Reserve's battle against inflation and its effect on the stock market. "I think Powell wins the game and when he does, we'll be on the field and the short-termers will be at the bottom of the stands," he added. The Fed raised interest rates by 75 basis points on Wednesday and signaled that it will continue its aggressive campaign against inflation. "The silent majority wants to be able to buy a house at a reasonable price without having a bidding war over it," he said. "The silent majority knows that their stocks are going to be worth less when they retire if Powell doesn't act now."

☆ What traders are thinking about before the big Fed decision Wednesday afternoon

The S & P 500 is about 70 points below where it was at the close of the last Federal Reserve meeting on July 27. The last several Fed meetings have seen the S & P close up on the announcement day, but there's no pattern after that. After the May 4 meeting, the S & P dropped three days in a row, and after the March 16 meeting, a rally continued for several days. Corporate bond funds are also at new lows, including the Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCSH) and the iShares Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) . Remarkably, there have not been outflows from these funds, likely because they have strong institutional support and broad bond funds like these tend to be "sticky."
