Thursday''s economic reports included data showing a drop in weekly US jobless claims that point to a strong labor market likely to keep the Federal Reserve focused on its current policy of countering inflation. “Risky assets don’t stand a chance of a meaningful rally if the economy continues to show resilience while inflation continues to be significantly above the Fed’s funds rate,” said Oanda’s Edward Moya.

The US Navy is ready to deploy a new first-in-class supercarrier for the first time in over four decades. The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford will set sail on its maiden deployment next week from Hampton Roads, Virginia. The Ford''s first deployment comes four years after the ship was first expected to deploy. The $13 billion lead ship of a new class of advanced US Navy aircraft carriers is about to finally set sail on its first deployment after years of costly setbacks and delays that have at times made it the target of fierce criticism. The first-in-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, which was commissioned over five years ago and has been over a decade in the making, will deploy for the first time next week on a short, service-retained deployment, Vice Adm. Daniel Dwyer, US 2nd Fleet commander, told reporters. During the Ford''s time deployed at sea, thousands of personnel, 17 ships, one submarine, and at least 60 aircraft from nine countries will participate in military exercises in the Atlantic, an area of increasing strategic significance.

[Editor’s note: “The Global EV Disruption Is Your Million-Dollar Opportunity ” was previously published in November 2021 . It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] When it comes to identifying next-generation breakthrough investments that could rise 100%, 200%, 500%, or more, I always come back to one saying. Where there’s disruption, there’s opportunity . Case in point: the internet. Throughout the 1990s, the internet rapidly disrupted how people across the globe worked, played, and communicated. For many, it was a scary time. Change is never easy. For many more, it was an exciting time. The internet was unlocking a new world of possibilities. But… for investors… it was an opportunity. Specifically, it was a once-in-a-decade opportunity to invest early in the emerging titans of disruptive industry. Think Amazon ( AMZN ), when it was a $438 million company in 1997… It’s a $1.2 TRILLION company today – representing a whopping 365,000%-plus return. That means a mere $1,000 investment in Amazon in 1997 would be worth more than $3.6 million today.

Amid multiple signs that the electric-vehicle revolution in the U.S. is accelerating and at a time when the governments in America are going to unleash billions of dollars of funds for EV charging stations, now is a very good time to buy EV charging stocks. U.S. EV sales jumped 60% year over year in the first half of 2022 , while Ford’s (NYSE: F ) EV sales exploded 307% year and year in August and Tesla’s (NASDAQ: TSLA ) U.S. sales jumped 105% YOY last month . Explaining why he had decided to purchase Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA ) stock after being bearish on it for years, veteran investment manager Brad Gerstner said on Sept. 15, “The world is moving now wholesale, both for geopolitical realities and for energy realities, in the direction of electrification.” Eventually, EV charging stations will generate more profits than gasoline stations. As a result, a few EV charging stocks can indeed jump tenfold in the next eight years. Finally, in a sign that funds will soon start to flow to EV charging companies, the Biden administration recently appointed veteran transportation administrator Gabe Klein to supervise the deployment of the funds.
The global macro environment took another beating late last week with disappointing Eurozone PMIs and a UK mini-budget causing a havoc in markets as it fueled further debt and inflation concerns.

It hasn’t been an easy few weeks – or months. Or years. This week, as expected, the Federal Reserve hiked the overnight rate by 0.75% as it continued its fight against inflation. The kneejerk reaction was bearish, but historically, a negative initial reaction to the Fed is usually reversed in the short-term. The Fed has a few problems with its fight against inflation; besides increasing interest rates, increasing supply would also lower inflation. However, the Fed cannot control supply-chain issues or slowing economies outside the United States, which we argue is a more significant cause of inflation than low interest rates. For example, Ford Motor Co. ( F ) dropped 12% on Tuesday as management warned that supply constraints (and rising costs) would hurt profits more than expected. “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” – Abraham Maslow The economy faces many problems, but the Fed only has a hammer (raising rates). And unfortunately, there are enough compounding factors to make this repair job difficult (or impossible) to fix by just raising rates.

And as a result, Tesla stock will struggle in the coming years while Lucid Motors stock will roar higher. It’s a bold claim, I know.

Anxiety got the better of Wall Street on Tuesday, with the stock market tumbling ahead of tomorrow''s policy announcement from the Federal Reserve. Many of Wall Street''s top minds are weighing in on how big the Fed rate hike will be . Among them is Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial Network, who, like almost everyone, believes the central bank will hike rates by 75 basis points. A basis point is one-one hundredth of a percentage point. SEE MORE 10 High-Paying Dividend Stocks Yielding 5% or More "Where things get interesting is in the follow-up comments, where the market tries to parse what this means for the Fed''s policy decisions through the rest of the year," McMillan says, referring to the press conference Fed Chair Jerome Powell will hold immediately after the announcement. "Expectations are very hawkish, and the Fed can come out just as expected and still be more dovish than expected. That likely limits the market downside from this meeting and just may provide some upside going forward."

(Tuesday Market Open) Equity index futures were pointing to a lower open as investor hesitancy continued ahead of tomorrow’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) interest rate decision. Potential Market Movers The FOMC meeting begins today with the spotlight on how high members will raise the overnight rate tomorrow. The 2-year Treasury yield was already up another two basis points before the market open, taking the yield to 3.97%. The 10-year Treasury yield (TNX) was up five basis points to 3.55%. Before the open housing starts came out much stronger than expected in August, growing 12.2%. Starts were down steeply in July, so the larger August number is likely spillover. However, the more forward-looking building permits fell 10% for the month, lower than expected. As mortgage rates continue to climb, the future of housing is still in question. Additionally, the yield curve is steepening this morning which could send mortgage rates even higher. The steeper curve is helping to push the U.S.
How Hawkish? By Jane Foley, Senior FX Strategist at Rabobank A late rally on Wall Street last night allowed for a largely positive tone in risk appetite to prevail overnight. That said, trading activity was fairly quiet yesterday in view of the UK bank holiday and ahead of this week’s slew of activity from various central banks including the Federal Reserve. Many market participants are of the view that a 75 bps rate hike from the Fed on Wednesday is all-but-done. That said, there is still a lot of uncertainty over potential revisions to the dot plot estimates from the FOMC members and the terminal level of the Fed funds rate. These unknowns saw the front end of the US curve underperforming yesterday with the 2 year yield reportedly hitting its highest level since 2007. The favoured view in the market is that central bankers are determined to quash inflationary pressures even if that means a downturn becomes unavoidable. Reflecting this view, crude oil has lost around one third of its value since June, with the strong USD also acting as a headwind.
Shares of Ford Motor Co. (F) are down 5% after the Detroit automaker warned that its supplier costs are $1 billion U.S. higher than had been expected due to rising inflation. Consequently, the automotive manufacturer said it now expects earnings in the range of $1.4 billion U.S. to $1.7 billion U.S. when it reports results in October. The new forecast is far below the $3.7 billion U.S. in earnings Ford reported in its previous quarter, and the $3 billion U.S. it earned in the year ago period. The company said in a written statement that an ongoing parts shortage will keep its inventory of half-completed vehicles elevated in the coming months. Ford is the latest in a series of companies to warn of deteriorating earnings in the face of macroeconomic headwinds. FedEx (FDX), General Electric (GE) and McDonald’s (MCD) have each warned of waning demand, supply-chain issues, and inflation in recent weeks. Ford now estimates that its number of partially completed vehicles will total 40,000 to 45,000 at the end of the current third quarter.
Futures Slide As Hawkish Rikshock Sends Dollar, Yields Higher Again Ahead Of Fed Market sentiment was quite cheerful heading into the overnight session, with futures hitting a third-day high of 3,936 thanks to yesterday'' late day delta squeeze (plunge in VIX as both calls and especially puts were sold) but then it quickly soured after first German PPI came in at a mindblowing 45.8% (vs expectations of 37.1%) the highest on record since World War II… ...but what really spooked futures was the record hike by the Swedish central bank, the Riksbank, which pushed the repo rate higher by a more than expected 100bps to 1.75%, and even though the central bank eased back on terminal rate expectations, the market still saw the Riksbank surprise as potentially indicative of what the BOE and Fed may do in the coming hours. As such, European stocks fell with US equity futures, giving up early gains, as traders braced for another supersized US rate hike amid rising anxiety the Federal Reserve could overtighten and raise the odds of a hard landing.
From FedEx to General Electric to McDonald’s, companies are pointing to flagging demand, stubborn supply-chain snags and the growing possibility of a recession.

With the massive growth potential of the renewable energy market, investors are looking for various ways to get in on the action. Investing in battery stocks is perhaps the best starting point, as battery technology offers incredible utility across the broad spectrum of renewable energy.
