Stock Market Modeling suggests that December's CPI and January's Fed FOMC events will not interfere with the forecast that Level 3 to Level 1 traders will accumulate stocks into late February to early March. Long-term traders will continue to buy stocks this year. Still targeting 5200s to 5400s for the SP500. Nasdaq may outperform. The Dow should hold its own relative to other major indices. Past Performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Global equities are forecast to trend higher relative to major indices. The model excludes any negative impact from the January effect (five days) and the January barometer. The December 2021 forecast predicted a setback in the stock market and some economic indicators for 2022. The forecast also predicted a bull market year with economic growth for 2023 and 2024. Using the model, I forecast that the US would not see a recession during 2022-24. (I believe a recession will not occur until about 2030.) It is worth noting that economists' 2022-23 record included a significant miss on pro-recession calls.

📈 US Stocks Rally Following Fed's Decision to Hold Interest Rates Steady 📈 US stocks surged on Wednesday as investors responded to the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain current interest rates, coupled with a significant tech revival. - S&P 500 (^GSPC): Rose nearly 1.6% - Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC): Soared more than 2.6% - Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI): Increased by 0.2% Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments fueled market optimism. He indicated that a rate cut in September "could be on the table," although he emphasized that no decisions have been made about future meetings. Powell acknowledged the economy is nearing the point where reducing the policy rate might be appropriate. This rally highlights investor confidence and the positive impact of the Fed's cautious approach to future rate changes. #StockMarket #FederalReserve #InterestRates #Investing #MarketRally #Nasdaq #SP500 #DowJones #Finance #Opportunites
