For the first time in the history of the AAII survey, which dates back to 1987, bullish sentiment did not rise above its historic average for a single week the entire year. Those who are more pessimistic point to the increase in revolving credit card balances above pre-pandemic levels and the drop in the savings rate to a 17-year low of 2.7% as indications consumers are strapped. I think Wall Street strategist mistakenly assume the end of rate hikes to be a headwind for markets because they also assume us to remain in an inflationary period like 1970-1988. We are still in the process of returning to normal, as evidenced by the dramatic shift we have seen from spending on goods to services by consumers. The most unique aspect of this economic recovery and ongoing expansion is that it was built from the bottom up. Past recessions have taken the consensus of investors and economists by surprise, which is why they are typically over by the time they are officially recognized. This is more of a return to normal or a revision to the mean than a sign of meaningful economic deterioration. Yet as valuations for the majority of stocks have fallen in line with historical averages, inflationary pressures have receded, and the peak in short-term interest rates rapidly approaches, fear of a recession this year mounts. We saw a steady decline in the share prices of the largest technology stocks that still dominate the weightings in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite. The most glaring of these is the inversion of the yield curve with both 3-month and 2-year Treasury yields well above the 10-year yield, indicating that the Fed has already raised short-term rates to levels so restrictive that an economic contraction is likely to follow over the coming year.
