Source: Ruslan Ivantsov / Shutterstock.com Wall Street has officially entered a bear market. Macroeconomic headwinds continue to build, including rampant inflation, slowing economic growth and continued geopolitical turmoil. We now have further uncertainty surrounding the stock market following the most recent interest rate hike. As we enter a bear market, investors are searching for alternative investment paths for diversification. Growth names that were the darlings on Wall Street during the pandemic have not been immune to these challenges so far in the year. Even large-capitalization (cap) shares have come under pressure since January. Year-to-date (YTD), the S&P 500 index has so far dropped over 22.9% year-to-date (YTD), while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has declined more than 30.7% during the same period. In the past century, we have had over 25 bear markets on the Street. Most have lasted an average of less than one year. While it may be tempting to sell stocks in the portfolio to minimize losses, panic selling in a bear market often leads to loss of potential profits and even investment capital.

Shares of Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN) were down 3% on Monday. The stock has dropped 36% year-to-date and 25% over the past 12 months.

Well, folks, the talk of the week has certainly been about the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting this past Wednesday. As we talked about on Thursday , the Federal Reserve voted unanimously to raise key interest rates by 75 basis points for the third-straight time. The Fed’s decision on Wednesday was, of course, fully expected. I was hoping for a 100-basis-point increase, but the Fed doesn’t listen to me! What was a little surprising was that the Fed revealed it wants to get the Fed Funds rate to 4.25% by year end. So, we can expect another 75-basis-point hike in November and a 50-basis-point increase in December. And then the Fed is going to hold rates at that level for an extended period of time until they make sure that inflation is defeated. The reality is the Fed has done a number on the market. They are purposely deflating assets, stocks, real estate – anything sensitive to interest rates. And, simply put, folks, what the Fed is doing destroys the housing market. In today’s Market 360, we’re going to talk about what the Fed’s rate increases mean for the housing market… and what it means for homebuilder stocks.

Wednesday''s selling carried into Thursday as investors continued to take a risk-off approach to markets following the Federal Reserve''s latest policy announcement. The central bank issued its third jumbo-sized rate increase yesterday and set expectations that it will continue to hike rates over its next few meetings. However, the Fed is not alone in its aggressive stance. Several global central banks have increased their benchmark rates this week in an ongoing effort to tame inflation, including the Bank of England and Switzerland''s National Bank, which earlier today issued 50 basis point and 75 basis point rate hikes, respectively. (A basis point is one-one hundredth of a percentage point.)

"Most of these rate hikes around the world are not done yet which means the race to restrictive territory won''t be over until closer to the end of the year." The reaction here at home was a selloff in bond prices, which sent yields on government notes spiking.

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange during the afternoon trading session on September 13, 2022 in New York City. Michael M. Santiago | Getty Images News | Getty Images S&P 500 futures were little changed Sunday evening after the major averages posted their worst week since June and ahead of this week’s two-day Federal Reserve meeting. Broad market index futures contracts were flat in pre-market trading. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.1%. Stocks fell on Friday as investors reacted to a hotter-than-expected inflation report and a gloomy warning from FedEx about the “significantly deteriorating” global economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 139 points, while the Standard & Poor’s lost 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.9%. Investors are focused on the Federal Reserve’s two-day meeting, which begins on Tuesday. The central bank is expected to raise interest rates by another three-quarters of a point, although investors are also watching for guidance on corporate earnings ahead of the start of the next reporting season in October. “With the S&P 500 hovering below the critical 3900 level and the 10-year Treasury yield approaching more than 3.5%, the Fed’s sensitive two-year Treasuries shrug off 3.9%, suggesting that the Fed’s aggressive campaign to kill Crosby, chief global strategist at LBL Financial, “Inflation needs to be taken seriously.” The canary in the coal mine may not have died yet, but it is probably struggling to breathe.

The housing market enters a recession … don’t expect prices to drop much … checking in on our ITB homebuilders trade … be wary in the short-term While there’s debate about whether the economy is in a recession, there’s one sector that officially fits the bill… Housing. From Robert Dietz, Chief Economist at the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB): Tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve and persistently elevated construction costs have brought on a housing recession. Yesterday, we learned that the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index dropped 6 points this month to 49. The index has now seen eight straight monthly declines. The word “recession” comes into play due to the sub-50 reading. Anything about 50 is positive, anything below is negative. This negative reading is the first one since the start of the Covid pandemic. Prior to that, there hasn’t been a negative reading since June 2014. Meanwhile, this morning we learned that U.S. homebuilding fell to the lowest level in nearly one-and-a-half years.

Home prices are still increasing despite a cooling housing market. But price declines lie ahead, many experts argue. Insider recently spoke with three experts calling for median home prices to fall. The housing market is starting to cool off in a big way thanks to skyrocketing mortgage rates this year. Homebuilder sentiment is at its second-lowest level in 37 years thanks to tanking demand — existing home sales were down 14% in June, year-over-year. Still, home prices have yet to take a hit. The median price of homes sold in the US hit an all-time high of $440,300 in the second quarter. Foto: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis But price declines are coming, according to a growing chorus of economists and industry experts. Recently, Insider profiled the views of three experts calling for median home price drops ahead. An investment analyst at a $31 billion firm says home prices are due to fall back toward their pre-pandemic levels — and shares 3 cities where declines will be among the worst in the country Homes in Austin, Texas.
