Valuations in past downturns suggest that the S&P 500 could fall another 28%. Don't be surprised if the S&P 500 plummets by up to 28% in the next three months, said Doug Ramsey, chief investment officer of The Leuthold Group, in a recent interview with Insider. "The stock market is not just a discounter of future economic activity — it's also a driver by the wealth effect and the confidence effect," Ramsey said. Ramsey added: "They acknowledged the power of the wealth effect, and they've certainly harnessed the power of the wealth effect on the way up. That means being willing to quickly pivot off an incorrect view — including if his theory that the S&P 500 will fall below 3,000 proves to be wrong.

Here's what Yun expects for mortgage rates, home sales, and home prices in 2023. A one percentage point rise in mortgage rates may not sound like much, but it's a monumental shift. And while it's not his base case, Yun said that 8% mortgage rates can't be ruled out if already-high inflation "gets out of hand." "If mortgage rates moderate and the economy continues adding jobs, then home buying should also stabilize." Expensive markets like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, and Seattle are among the cities that are most sensitive to higher mortgage rates, Yun said.

☆ Here's why the real-estate market will continue to struggle over the next 6 months, with existing home sales mired in their worst slump since 2007, according to a director at the National Association

The US housing market is firmly in a recession as existing home sales keep sliding. Nadia Evangelou of the National Association of Realtors shared what's next for the housing market. The trajectory of the housing market is heavily dependent on mortgage rates, Evangelou noted. But that's no guarantee as the Federal Reserve's interest rate-hiking cycle affects US Treasuries, which in turn sway mortgage rates, she said. So for that reason, we think that mortgage rates usually are pricing some of these upcoming rate hikes."

High quality stocks have lagged their lower-quality peers so far this year. Goldman Sachs shared 50 quality stocks that appear to have room to rise.

Stocks with high returns on capital have lagged those with low returns on capital by 9% in 2022, Kostin noted. 50 cheap quality stocks to buyWhile quality stocks haven't performed as expected in 2022, Goldman Sachs thinks the cream — as in stocks with better returns on equity than their sector peers — should rise to the top.

☆ The head of ETF strategy at $19.5 billion Allianz shares how to manage risk with the Federal Reserve forced to 'strangle the economy' to slow inflation
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( James Faris | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Or, in the words of Johan Grahn, the head of ETF strategy at $19.5 billion Allianz Investment Management, it was "not necessarily earth-shattering." "There's no doubt that they will have to strangle the economy," Grahn said of the US central bank in an interview with Insider on Wednesday afternoon. Consequences of higher rates include lower corporate earnings and stock valuations, slower growth, and a higher unemployment rate. But hoping for higher unemployment at the expense of lower inflation could easily backfire, Grahn warned, just like the US central bank's plan to get higher inflation while bringing down unemployment did. How to invest as recession risk risesInvestors can manage risk in their portfolios as inflation stays hot and the economy weakens by using a buffer strategy, Grahn said.

At his new firm, the market veteran used his background in options trading and started the Simplify Interest Rate Hedge ETF (PFIX). Bassman's strategy is simply to hedge against interest rates, which have risen dramatically this year as inflation runs rampant. "What I wanted to do was to find a product to offer people direct access to rising interest rates," Bassman told Insider. "The idea that rates go down and you buy this insurance policy — truth be told — is a better strategy," Bassman said.

Here are four tips for navigating this choppy stock market as recession risk rises. "It's an active management approach to US interest rates — that's the key here," Azous told Insider. And for us, that leads to a lower stock market and a more difficult credit market or very much tighter financial conditions. Barring a catalyst like the end of the Russia-Ukraine war, a notable improvement in the Chinese or European economies, or a huge drop in inflation, Azous said he sees more trouble ahead. "You want to avoid a catastrophic drawdown that keeps you invested in the stock market," Azous said.

But David Schassler, who co-manages the fund while also serving as VanEck's head of quantitative investment solutions, isn't taking a victory lap. Schassler added: "This severely limits the Fed's ability to successfully fight inflation without causing significant economic destruction." "It's not only that we own the right assets, but we've been overweight the right assets within the mix of inflation-fighting assets that we own," Schassler said. His three-step process is as follows: identify the right assets to own, optimize the portfolio by diversifying, and adapt to different inflation regimes. Examples of the right assets to own, in Schassler's view, are listed above.
