Edward Jones - Financial Advisor Jerry M. Look

It has been months since I have been 100% retired. Some have reached out to ask how and what my retirement looks like. To be honest initially it was strange not to have responsibilities related to work. In 50 plus years I never remembered a day when I did not work. That included high school and college. Now every day is a weekend and I’m constantly asking myself what day is this. I exchanged my weekly client appointments with weekly baby sitting. I do not miss the dealings with the St Louis office, but I do miss my intersections with clients. My priorities are simple and consist of family (3 grandkids), traveling and tennis. This chapter of life is very rewarding and “a great gig”. Life is really as good as it gets! And once again, if you are reading this, I encourage you to keep in touch.

Although stocks recovered from a sharp drop after last week's CPI inflation report – and the S&P 500 even approached new all-time highs – investors may be feeling anxious.

Can inflation continue to moderate, as it has over the past year, even in the face of resilient economic growth? Or, is this a start of a trend in the wrong direction?

We share our views in our latest Weekly Market Wrap.

The S&P 500 crossed the 5,000 milestone, a fresh record high for the index. While 5,000 is an arbitrary number and simply an attention-grabbing psychological threshold, it is symbolic of the market's strength and resiliency in the face of a historically sharp adjustment in interest rates.

With the economy defying expectations for a slowdown and stocks having rallied about 20% over the past three months, investors are wondering what's next. Our latest Weekly Market Wrap shares our views on five common questions.

All eyes were on the Fed last week, with the market's wagon remaining tightly hitched to the outlook for future monetary policy moves. The Fed kept its policy rate steady, but the primary focus was on the central bank's message that it intends to remain on hold a while longer.

While markets were hoping for a signal that rate cuts were coming sooner, incoming data, including the latest jobs report, continue to offer confidence that the economy is holding up well enough for the Fed to exercise some patience.

In our latest Weekly Market Wrap, we offer our takes on what the latest Fed and employment news means for the markets ahead.

Over the past week, investors digested two key datapoints that continue to support the case for a soft landing in the U.S.: The S&P PMI data, for both services and manufacturing, were in expansionary territory in January, and fourth-quarter GDP growth exceeded forecasts, coming in at 3.3% annualized, versus expectations of 2.0% growth.

While these datapoints are backward looking, they support the narrative that the U.S. economy was not softening entering the new year. In fact, the data indicates that economic growth accelerated at the end of last year. Meanwhile, inflation also showed signs of moderation as we entered 2024.
