Callie Cox: The biggest risks include whether the Fed can get inflation down, and whether we enter a recession. The job market and corporate earnings are the two catalysts that make me think we can avoid those risks. CC: The Fed will be more responsive to what's happening in the job market, because the job market directly impacts inflation. Services inflation — think rent, haircuts, insurance prices — is still growing at a 7% clip annually, which is way too high in the Fed's mind. And the kicker here is that services inflation is the type of inflation that the Fed can best control through the job market.

In an interview with Insider, eToro investment analyst Callie Cox highlighted the two biggest risks to monitor this year. "The kicker here is that services inflation is the type of inflation that the Fed can best control through the job market," she said. "But one bright spot of this scenario," Cox said, "is that it would take care of the inflation problem because when demand drops, inflation comes down." And as far as stocks, Cox likes a defensive positioning with consumer staples, utilities, energy, and pharmaceutical companies. "If we do hit a recession," Cox said, "it's a great time to slowly build up your risk appetite in anticipation of us getting through it."

Perhaps the one thing that investors can rally around is this: 2022 is finally over. Here are three valuable lessons for investors in the aftermath of 2022. Before we entered a rising interest rate environment, high-flying tech stocks seemed to have limitless potential. "Many investors saw a high rate, high inflation year for the first time since the 1980s. And if we think about [2023] as well, it's still a high rate, high inflation environment."

The other was the riskiest of risk assets, whose moves mirrored those of tech stocks. It won't happen overnight, but investors more than ever want to see a crypto market driven by utility rather than speculation . Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish said his team believes "crypto assets are likely to continue to behave like high-beta risk assets going forward." Investing in the next two quarters Bitcoin has fallen more than 60% this year and sits roughly 75% off of its all-time high from November 2021. When there's a pullback in that growth, as there was this year, bitcoin tends to struggle, Alden explained.

☆ Here's why a bull market may have already started even though it doesn't feel like it, according to eToro's investment analyst
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( Phil Rosen | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

A new bull market may already be underway, according to eToro's US investment analyst. If the economy avoids a recession, then it's possible stocks have already bottomed out and will tick higher in 2023, Callie Cox told Insider. "Typically, new bulls don't actually feel like bulls, but it's costly if you miss the beginning of one." In eToro's year-ahead outlook, Callie Cox makes the case that even though it may not seem like stocks are on the upswing, it's rarely the case that bull markets resemble bull markets in the early stages. "A bull market starts at the lowest point of a bear and is confirmed when an index reaches a new 52-week high," Cox told Insider.

In any other year, the bitcoin price would have skyrocketed after the BlackRock announcement, but it didn't. Bitcoin hit its all-time high on Nov. 8, less than a week after the Fed first introduced the tapering .

It's bitcoin that's received so much hostility about being environmentally unfriendly, but myths about the cryptocurrency's environmental impact are slowly being debunked . Beyond bitcoin, crypto remains just a little too out of reach for many.
