On September 24, Truist Wealth’s Keith Lerner and Empower’s Marta Norton joined ‘Closing Bell’ on CNBC to discuss the latest news affecting markets. On a mention of slight lag in tech, increased volatility, and the recent comment from the Fed chair about equity valuations, Marta Norton responded that the Fed chair’s comment is a sign of how extreme valuations are. While acknowledging that valuations are not a timing indicator, she pointed to data showing that when valuations reach extremes, both cheap and expensive, they become more predictive of prospective three-year returns. Norton’s general take on the Fed is that the market consistently gets its hopes up on the pace of rate cuts, which might prove less dovish than anticipated.
Norton stated that for the past several years, the market has attempted to push cuts while the Fed has held back. She illustrated this dichotomy by noting that the market is currently pricing in rates that would effectively take them below 3% by roughly this time next year, while the Fed is signaling a less dovish stance. Keith Lerner affirmed this sentiment and stated that the situation is complicated for the Fed due to the inflation backdrop and the scar tissue from previous inflation issues. Lerner then provided a historical context and stated that when the Fed has cut rates while the market is near all-time highs, the markets have been up about 90% of the time looking forward a year. He stressed that the crucial factor is that the economy avoids a recession and continues to move forward. Lerner also emphasized that interest rates are important, but not the only thing that matters.
