☆ The Classic 60-40 Investment Strategy Falls Apart. ‘There’s No Place to Hide.’

For decades, Americans planning for retirement have been advised to invest in a mixture of stocks and bonds. The idea was simple. When stocks did well, their portfolios did, too. And when stocks had a bad year, bonds usually did better, which helped offset those losses.
☆ Hedging Against Currency Swings Separates Winners From Losers This Year
  + stars: | 2022-11-06 | by ( Karen Langley | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The dollar’s recent rise has heightened the complexity of buying overseas stocks for investors used to focusing on metrics like company earnings and share-price valuations. When U.S.-based investors hold international equities, their performance is driven by fluctuations in exchange rates as well as the performance of the underlying company shares. In periods like this year when the greenback is strengthening, that dynamic eats away at returns as the other currency is traded for fewer dollars.
☆ Whiplash in Stock Market Shows Investors Are Still on Edge

Investors place the blame for the market’s malaise on a difficult economic environment. Stocks slumped most of last week. Then they unexpectedly surged Thursday, only to tumble again Friday. What is driving the wild swings?
☆ Dow Closes More Than 800 Points Higher in Volatile Day
  + stars: | 2022-10-13 | by ( Karen Langley | Caitlin Ostroff | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
U.S. stocks closed sharply higher Thursday in a head-spinning reversal, after investors decided that fresh evidence of high inflation wasn’t as bad as it initially appeared. It was the first time that the Dow Jones Industrial Average both fell at least 500 points and rose at least 800 points in a single trading day, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The whipsaw moves were reminiscent of the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, another time of deep uncertainty about the economic outlook.
☆ A Jittery Stock Market Heads Into Earnings Season
  + stars: | 2022-10-10 | by ( Karen Langley | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A stock market fixated on the Federal Reserve’s fight against inflation is about to see how rapidly rising interest rates have affected companies’ bottom lines. The S&P 500 has fallen 24% in 2022 as the central bank ratchets up rates and investors attempt to reassess stock valuations and the durability of corporate profits. The third-quarter earnings season that kicks off in earnest this week will give analysts the broadest look yet at how business has held up as costs continue to rise, higher rates threaten demand and a strong dollar squeezes overseas income.
☆ Rising Interest Rates Squeeze Stocks on Both Sides, Constraining Earnings, Multiples
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Karen Langley | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The stock market is facing dual stresses as investors and policy makers grapple with stubbornly high inflation. The higher interest rates put in place by the Federal Reserve to curb pricing pressures will eventually slow the economy and likely ding corporate earnings. At the same time, they will constrain the prices that investors are willing to pay for a slice of company profit.
☆ Stocks Finish Higher After U.S. Jobs Report
  + stars: | 2022-04-11 | by ( Karen Langley | Anna Hirtenstein | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
U.S. stocks rose Friday but finished the week with losses after the monthly jobs report did little to shift expectations for continued interest-rate increases from the Federal Reserve. Stocks have come under pressure in recent days as central banks including the Fed and the Bank of England aggressively raise interest rates to combat inflation. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell signaled this week that officials might raise borrowing costs next year more than they had projected.
