TD Ameritrade's Shawn Cruz believes that there's a good chance the market has already bottomed. But overall, investors can afford to be optimistic about markets going into the new year, said Shawn Cruz, head trading strategist at TD Ameritrade. "As long as those rate cuts stay on the board and actually do happen, I think we've probably seen the bottom of the market," Cruz said. But if the central bank remains hawkish and keeps rates high next year, Cruz believes that this would potentially send equities plummeting towards a new market bottom. "The semiconductor space throughout this year has been divergent, where they're buying some and selling others or vice versa."

Examples include those used for 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth, radiofrequency chips, near field communication chips (NFC), application-specific integrated circuit chips (ASICs), and so on. These chips are made by companies like Qualcomm, Marvell Technology, Broadcom (AVGO), ON Semiconductor, NXP Semiconductor (NXPI), and others.

Oct 25 (Reuters) - Chipmaker Texas Instruments Inc (TXN.O) on Tuesday forecast quarterly revenue and profit below estimates, anticipating slowing orders as consumer electronics makers and retailers grapple with bloated inventory, sending its shares down 5%. Hit by red-hot inflation, consumers have pulled back on non-discretionary spending including on personal electronics, which has left businesses, stocking up ahead of the holiday season, with piled up inventories. "During the quarter we experienced expected weakness in personal electronics and expanding weakness across industrial," said TI Chief Executive Officer Rich Templeton. The company forecast fourth-quarter revenue in the range of $4.40 billion to $4.80 billion, compared with estimates of $4.93 billion, per Refinitiv data. It forecast profit between $1.83 and $2.11, below estimates of $2.21.

☆ The economy may be in better shape than you think...for now

The consensus forecast from economists surveyed by Reuters is that GDP grew at an annualized pace of 2.1% in the third quarter. (This will be the first estimate for third-quarter GDP, and there will be several revisions in the coming weeks.) That also means the Fed will likely continue to sharply raise interest rates to finally choke off inflation once and for all. Those rate hikes helped cause a so-called double-dip recession, where the economy suffered two downturns between 1980 and 1982. In other words, the much-hoped-for “soft landing” for the economy could turn out to be a pipe dream.

☆ Wall St Week Ahead As U.S. markets churn, some stick with rare 2022 winner: energy shares

The S&P 500 energy sector is already up around 48% this year and monetary policy tightening around the world has bolstered the chances of a global recession that could curtail energy demand. The S&P 500 energy sector trades at a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 9.9, nearly half the 17.4 valuation of the broader index. The S&P 500 is down around 24% this year while bonds - as measured by the Vanguard Total Bond Market index fund - are down nearly 18%. Saira Malik, chief investment officer at Nuveen, believes that fund managers will remain lightly positioned in energy shares despite recent gains.
