When will the market turn? | ticker VIEWS
It’s always the way for investors. When times are great the worries begin and the question is – when will the market turn and why?
Well for now, whether you’ve invested in US Stocks or property, it’s a reason to celebrate.
The S&P 500 Index is up 8% so far this quarter.
It’s the largest gain since the 4th Quarter of 2020, It’s also up five straight quarters or a remarkable 66%.
That’s the longest quarterly winning streak in 5 years, the vaccine rollout and huge cash injections have certainly helped.
Stocks are up about 90 per cent from the worst of the market panic in March last year.
Microscope on property – should you invest?
in April U.S. home prices jumped the most in more than 30 years…that’s quite a long time
Analysts have described the growth as truly extraordinary, in part its down to the post pandemic bounce and buyers wanting to escape the city for bigger suburban homes.
Low rates and a shortage of supply has also helped the boom but its causing issues too.
Buyers are struggling to find properties they can afford and now builders are seeing higher prices in materials and limited skilled workers as they keep up with interest.
So, what could go wrong?
Well, perhaps more troublesome virus strains of course everyone has their fingers crossed that it doesn’t, stretched valuations and the prospect of tighter monetary policy as the recovery stokes inflation tremors.
Always keep an eye out.

Dow surges 500 points amid rate cut optimism
Dow jumps 569 points on fresh hopes for December rate cut and AI market optimism
Dow jumps 569 points on fresh hopes for December rate cut and AI market optimism
– Dow Jones rose 569 points, reflecting optimism for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.
– Alphabet’s stock increased as Meta may invest in AI chips, but Nvidia’s declined amid market concerns.
Markets anticipate an 85% chance of a quarter-point rate cut in December, driven by comments from New York Fed President John Williams, who indicated the possibility of lower rates soon. Investor sentiment strengthened following reports that Kevin Hassett may be appointed as the next Fed chair, potentially resulting in a more lenient monetary policy.
Tech Sector
Alphabet saw its stock rise by over 1% after reports indicated that Meta Platforms might invest in its AI chips. This could signal increased demand for AI technology, benefiting the sector overall. However, Nvidia’s stock fell more than 3%, suggesting concerns about its dominance in the AI chip market.
Investors are also wary of the valuation of tech stocks. Despite recent gains, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq remain down over 1% and 3%, respectively, for November, while the Dow has lost more than 1% this month. The broader market’s performance indicates ongoing scrutiny regarding tech valuations amid changing economic expectations.
