The Dow was the least affected of the three indexes, declining approximately 8.8%. The S&amp;P 500 fell 19.4% and is over 20% below its all-time high, while the Nasdaq saw a significant drop of 33.1%. Inflation and aggressive interest rate increases from the Federal Reserve had a negative impact on both growth and technology stocks and affected investor confidence throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in the first week of January 2023, U.S. stocks experienced a significant rally following the release of employment data for December, which showed a slowdown in wage growth. Investors viewed this as a potential indication that Federal Reserve officials may reduce the frequency of their interest rate increases. As a result, the S&amp;P 500 rose 2.3%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 700 points (2.1%), and the Nasdaq Composite saw a 2.6% increase. Before this rally on Friday, all three major averages were on track to end the week with losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" data-attachment-id=\"10173\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/weekly-market-wrap-6-january-2023\/ink-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1.png\" data-orig-size=\"1600,994\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ink-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-300x186.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-1024x636.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-1024x636.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-1024x636.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-768x477.png 768w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-1536x954.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-696x432.png 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-1068x663.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-676x420.png 676w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1-356x220.png 356w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Global growth forecast | Bloomberg Economics<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the short rally, Economists predict the global economy will <a href=\"https:\/\/sg.finance.yahoo.com\/news\/world-economy-heads-one-worst-055433459.html\">grow just 2.4%<\/a> next year, the lowest in three decades besides the disastrous 2009 and 2020.

In essence, this meeting primarily reaffirmed their current stance of continuing to control the cost of credit (interest rates) to control inflation as policymakers were worried that pace of price increases were expected to run faster than anticipated.

According to Goldman Sachs, their analysts expect inflation to decline, but they are unsure if it is sufficient to warrant the Fed to start reducing interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Goldman Sachs predicts that the Fed will increase the federal funds rate three more times, in increments of 0.25 percentage points, in February, March, and May, and then maintain this rate, followed by some rate cuts to 4.4% by the end of 2023. Deviation from this may happen if something unexpected occurs, such as a significant economic recession leading to an increase in unemployment. Ultimately, the Fed will make its decision based on its assessment of the economic situation at the time and its mandate to maintain price stability and full employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Topic #2: Likelihood of a US recession<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"10176\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/weekly-market-wrap-6-january-2023\/ink-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3.png\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ink-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-300x188.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-1024x640.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-696x435.png 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-1068x668.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3-672x420.png 672w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-3.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sources: The Wall Street Journal and Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the release of the Fed\u2019s meeting minutes, this Wall Street Journal 12-month recession odds<em> <\/em>consensus puts the probability of a US recession in the next 12 months at a hefty 65%, while Goldman sees it at just 35%. Like Goldman, some investors are hoping for a soft-landing &#8211; the one in which those interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve manage to slow the economy just enough to bring down inflation, but not so much that it pushes the whole thing into a recession.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do some investors believe that a soft-landing is possible?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, some investors believe that a recession is not necessary to address rising inflation, and that a prolonged period of slower economic growth will be sufficient to address imbalances in the demand and supply of goods and services, including the mismatch in the labor market that has contributed to rising prices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, they also expect a shorter lag time, or delay between interest rate hikes and their impact on economic growth, and anticipate that the negative effects of these hikes will dissipate over 2023, resulting in a more resilient outlook for economic growth. This is expected to occur as the combined effects of monetary and fiscal policy tightening, which took place primarily in the first half of 2022, begin to fade as the year progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, finding the sweet spot with monetary policy (i.e interest rate changes) to bring about this outcome is no easy feat and uncertainty about how sticky inflation could end up being is still top of mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Topic #3: China unleashed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" data-attachment-id=\"10177\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/weekly-market-wrap-6-january-2023\/ink-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4.png\" data-orig-size=\"1334,856\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ink-4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4-300x193.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4-1024x657.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4-1024x657.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4-1024x657.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4-768x493.png 768w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4-696x447.png 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4-1068x685.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4-655x420.png 655w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ink-4.png 1334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sources: Google Finance, 7th Jan<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can China dodge the recession bullet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidently, the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB) is up 15.39% and CSI 300 is up 2.76% respectively in the past week.
