The Week 10 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing Recap

Week 10 is another weekly win for The Stock Market Bear as investors dwell on Russia’s continuing attack on Ukraine and inflation.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 10 Summary:

Like Russia’s continuing assault on Ukraine, The Stock Market Bear took his seventh week of 2022, Week 10, by inflicting major losses on Monday and Tuesday, was briefly interrupted by a successful counteroffensive by The Stock Market Bull on Wednesday, but then returned to make big gashes on the markets again on Thursday and Friday. With the Russia/Ukraine War intensifying, high inflation worries escalating, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, what will it take for The Stock Market Bull to prevent a trifecta of weekly losses in Week 11?

Influences/News:

  • Russia’s attacks in Ukraine continue to be the major headlines. The world continues to watch anxiously as diplomatic efforts have failed so far. On the other hand, while Russia’s military offensive continues, it also seems somewhat vulnerable to the defenses and counterattacks by a determined, courageous, and brave Ukraine military and its volunteers. The Russians anticipated a 3 day war, and now it is in its 14th day. There has been a lot of destruction and human suffering, but there is no clear victory for Russian’s efforts to this point, even as the US, European Union and NATO offer moral support through economic sanctions but offering limited military support for Ukraine. What happens next can only be conjectures and based primarily on Russia’s actions, but the extremes range from Russia’s complete retreat to it defiantly unleashing its nuclear arsenal resulting in a civilization ending worldwide holocaust.
  • In other international news North Korea continues to test fire missiles, some of which appear to be capable of striking the US.
  • The Iran nuclear talks have been paused.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has now claimed over 6 million lives worldwide and nearly 1 million in the US. However, rates of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths are dropping. There are concerns that there will be future variants, and that societies will have to develop strategies to deal with it forever, just like we have for the flu and other diseases.
  • In the US central Iowa experienced a series of killer tornados.
  • In some key US economic news consumer credit grew by 6.8% in January, the slowest pace in a year; wholesale trade was up 4.0% in January, +22.4% over the past 12 months; US international trade in January showed a deficit of $89.7 billion, the January 2021 deficit was at $65.2 billion; the consumer price index over the past 12 months, or the inflation rate, was +7.9%, highest in 40 years; the federal government spending deficit for February 2022 was at $217 billion, it was $311 billion in February 2021; the price for a gallon of gas is well above $4, with inflation and the Russia/Ukraine War contributing to that rise.
  • US Major League Baseball and the Players Union have agreed on terms, the 2022 season will be delayed by about a week, and all games will be played.
  • The Beijing 2022 Paralympics finish on March 13.

The Week 9 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 9 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing Recap

The Stock Market Bear continues his domination, helped by Russia’s controversial attack on Ukraine, takes Week 9 of 2022 with a dominating 3-0 win.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 9 Summary:

The stock markets don’t like uncertainty. In a short time Russia’s attack on Ukraine has considerably elevated that over the longer time and ongoing “contributions” of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic inflationary concerns. The Stock Market Bear capitalized on that in Week 9 of 2022, getting a 2-1 mixed result on Monday. As the Russia-Ukraine news worsened he then took a big full 3-0 bite on Tuesday. The Stock Market Bull made a valiant effort on Wednesday, got the 3-0 result, but the news took another turn for the worst, allowing The Stock Market Bear to spill more blood on Thursday and Friday, and takes the 3-0 win in Week 9 in a dominating way.

Influences/News:

  • Citizens of the world continue to be shocked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the inevitable brutalities of war, the courage and bravery of the Ukraine people as they fight back against incredible odds, and in the first week the over one million of mostly women and children desperately migrating to the borders of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania and beyond as refugees, with millions more expected in the coming weeks. The European Union, US, Far East democracies and other countries around the world continue to try to use increasing economic sanctions against Russia, Putin, and Russian oligarchs, while providing financial, military equipment, and moral support to Ukraine, but not willing to enter the war directly militarily because of the fear that Russia’s Putin’s will push his finger down on the button that would launch his nuclear weapons. The United Nations passes a resolution by an unusually large majority condemning Russia’s attack. Many large corporations around the world start withdrawing their companies and stop buying products from Russia. Oil prices reach near record highs as pressure increases for the world to shun Russia’s largest export commodity.
  • US President Biden gives his first State of the Union address, with a focus on the Russia-Ukraine situation, US and world efforts to thwart Russia, US economic issues, the effect and future of the COVID-19 pandemic, and asking for bipartisanship to pass his rebranded Building a Better America plan.
  • In US economic news Federal Reserve Board chair Jerome Powell expressed his willingness to fight inflation by raising federal short term funds interest rates a quarter of a percent. Jobs reports by ADP and the US Labor Department exceed forecasts, the unemployment rate drops to 3.8%. As mentioned before, oil prices spike to over $115/barrel forcing gas prices up as well. Factory orders are up more than expected, and mortgage rates take a dip to 3.76% on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage.
  • US President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson starts meeting with senators, hearings are scheduled to begin in a couple of weeks.
  • US Major League Baseball continues negotiating with the Players Union, the original scheduled opening day has been cancelled.
  • The 2022 Winter Paraolympics start in Beijing, China, complicated by controversies of the Russia invasion of Ukraine.

The Week 8 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 8 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

stock market bull bear stocks investing investor PBR1000

In a shortened Week 8 The Stock Market Bear claws out wins the first two days, The Stock Market Bull takes the last two days, and gets the Week 8 mixed 2-1 win.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 8 Summary:

Week 8 started with Monday a day off for the US stock exchanges to observe Presidents’ Day. But it was an anxious day as the world waited to see if Russia would invade Ukraine. On Tuesday and Wednesday The Stock Market Bear took charge by clawing his way to two very large losses days. Russia did attack Ukraine, sanctions were started against Russia, and The Stock Market Bull aggressively countered by taking charge on Thursday and Friday. At Friday’s close it was a split with The Stock Market Bull getting the 2-1 mixed win for the week and the first of 2022. Between the Russia-Ukraine concerns, inflation, and continuing COVID19 issues it was a fitting end to Week 8. Everyone is wondering, what will Week 9 bring?

Influences/News:

  • The Russia-Ukraine concerns became reality as Russia initially launched offenses to take over two breakaway Ukraine regions, then started closing in on the major city of Kyiv by the end of the week. NATO had an emergency session, agreed to beef up troops in neighboring countries. Speeches by US President Biden and many other world leaders from democracies denounced the use of military force, pledged to impose economic sanctions against Russia and its political and corporate leaders. Ukraine President Zelensky encouraged its military and citizens to provide resistance with some apparent initial success.
  • Inflation in the US continues to be a big issue. The Federal Open Market Committee meets next month some members are talking about a quarter or half percent increase in the federal short term interest rate.
  • COVID19 and associated variants cases and hospitalizations are decreasing rapidly, the US Center for Disease Control indicated that it is considering making some recommendations about the use of masks, probably to be oriented more towards communities that the nation itself.
  • US President Biden nominates Ketanji Brown Jackson, a federal judge on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since 2021, to replace retiring US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. She is the first black female to be nominated for the position.
  • In US economic news the Case-Shiller housing report indicated that in December home prices had increased by 18.6% over 12 months. The US Gross Domestic Product annual rate for 21Q4 was revised from +6.9% to +7.0%. US weekly initial jobless claims dropped 17,000 to 232,000 last week, closing in on pre-pandemic numbers. US mortgage rates dropped a little to an average of 3.89% with 0.8 points & fees in the last week. US personal incomes were little changed from the previous month.

The Week 6 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Recap Investing ThePBR1000

The Stock Market Bear comes from behind in Week 6, gets the 3-0 win, and prevents The Stock Market Bull from achieving its first trifecta of wins in 2022.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 6 Summary:

In what has become a somewhat recurring theme for 2022, Week 6 started with a mixed result by small margins on Monday in favor of The Stock Market Bear. But on Tuesday and Wednesday The Stock Market Bull aggressively charged into the pasture and clearly dominated each day, creating a clear lead for the week. On Thursday The Stock Market Bear took his turn with a dominating result, but still behind for the week. To finish Week 6 The Stock Market Bear repeated his Thursday result, gets the 3-0 Week 6 result, and leaves The Stock Market Bull exhausted and unable to complete the three week trifecta of wins.

The Week 5 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Investing Investor Stocks

In Week 5 of 2022 The Stock Market Bull gets a 3-0 outright win as he continues to fight back to regain his glory of 2021.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 5 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull, after his big last Friday and first weekly win, started out strong on Monday through Wednesday by taking all 9 sessions across the 3 major US stocks indices as economic news, particularly upcoming interest rate hikes, settled in and investors adjusted. But on Thursday The Stock Market Bear made a prominent appearance as Russia-Ukraine tensions increased significantly with the notice that the US was sending a few thousand troops to nearby countries and the COVID-19 pandemic continued to have elevated numbers. But on Friday The Stock Market Bull pushed The Stock Market Bear out of the pasture and had another nice day, thanks to the much better than expected employment numbers, and convincingly takes the 3-0 Week 5 win. The Stock Market Bull now has two weekly wins in a row, but he still has a way to go to catch up year-to-date. In Week 6 will he be able to match the trifecta of The Stock Market Bear who won the first three weeks of 2022?

The US Stock Market January 2022 Summary:

On the first trading day of 2022, Monday of Week 1, The Stock Market Bull charged into the pasture, was in full command, had an excellent day, and established new record closes for the DJIA and S&P500, while The Stock Market Bear continued to drown his sorrows from his major 2021 loss at a nearby watering hole. On Tuesday The Stock Market Bull again established a new record close on the DJIA, but The Stock Market Bear had crept into the pasture and took out some nibbles on the NASDAQ and S&P500. An encouraged The Stock Market Bear then took over the rest of the week with a 9-0 session wins across the 3 major US stock indices across 3 days and easily took Week 1.

Week 2 was a back and forth between The Stock Market Bull and The Stock Market Bear, with The Stock Market Bull taking 9 of the 15 trading sessions. But the 6 sessions The Stock Market Bear took were good sized bites and he prevailed again with a 3-0 result for the week.

Week 3 was a four day trading week, with Martin Luther King Jr Day being observed on Monday. The Stock Market Bear had the week to himself, taking all 16 of the trading sessions by significant margins, notched his first trifecta of weekly wins in some time, with the NASDAQ losing 1 to nearly 3% on those days.

Week 4 was another back and forth, but on Friday The Stock Market Bull had had enough, captured all three indices by large amounts and Friday, and by enough to get his first weekly win of 2022.

The Stock Market Bull again took charge on Monday of Week 5, the last day of January, and once again completely dominated the pasture with 1%+ to 3%+ victories. Nevertheless, while an impressive way to end the first month of the year, it was not nearly enough. The Stock Market Bear gets his first monthly 3-0 win of 2022, matching his result in all of 2021.

As always, the experts are all over the place about what is happening and will happen, most of it based on conjectures of what is happening with COVID-19 variants, Russia gaming the world about whether or not it will invade Ukraine, N Korea ballistic missile tests, continuing supply logistics issues, a US mid-term election that will heat up soon, and who knows what else. Place your bets carefully, we wish you the best!

The Week 4 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Investing Investor Stocks

In Week 4 of 2022 The Stock Market Bull finally gets his debut win, announces he is back after amazing comeback wins on Monday and Friday.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 4 Summary:

On Monday of Week 4 of 2022 The Stock Market Bear continued where he had left off on the previous Friday, with dramatic losses in all three indices. But there was a big U turn when The Stock Market Bull entered the pasture, and he ended up with the 3-0 win. On Tuesday The Stock Market Bear was in charge all day. On both Wednesday and Thursday The Stock Market Bull was in charge of the morning, but never seemed to return from lunch. The Stock Market Bear took over and prevailed on both of those days. But Friday The Stock Market Bull arrived in the morning, stayed all day, accelerating his lead in the last trading hour, takes the day, and, unbelievably, gets the outright 3-0 Week 4 Win by a very slim margin. Once again, opinions about the stock market are all over the place, so Week 5 should be an interesting one to watch, and maybe participate in as well!

Job gains have been solid in recent months, and the unemployment rate has declined substantially. Supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic and the reopening of the economy have continued to contribute to elevated levels of inflation. Overall financial conditions remain accommodative, in part reflecting policy measures to support the economy and the flow of credit to U.S. households and businesses… Committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent. With inflation well above 2 percent and a strong labor market, the Committee expects it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate. The Committee decided to continue to reduce the monthly pace of its net asset purchases, bringing them to an end in early March.”

More data will be required to understand whether this demand surge represents an acceleration of purchases that would have occurred over the next several years or reflects a more permanent secular change. In the short term, meanwhile, we should soon begin to see the impact of increasing mortgage rates on home prices.”
  • The US Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia says the Preliminary January 2022 3rd District Non-Manufacturing General Activity Index is at -16.2, December was at +27.3. “… Overall, the responding firms continue to expect growth over the next six months in their own firms and in the region.”

The Week 3 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 3 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Investing Investor Stocks Recap

The Stock Market Bear starts 2022 with a trifecta of weekly outright 3-0 wins. When will The Stock Market Bull stop him?

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 3 Summary:

The Stock Market Bear, still smarting from his overwhelming loss to The Stock Market Bull in 2021, has made up for it a little bit by achieving the rare 3 weekly wins in a row trifecta to start out 2022. It has been a convincing string of wins. The shortened Week 3, with 4 trading days because of the Martin Luther King Jr Day observance on Monday, was The Stock Market Bear‘s most dramatic win, taking every one of the 12 trading sessions across the three major US stock indices by significant margins. The Omnicron COVID-19 variant, inflationary fears, anticipation of how the US Federal Reserve responds with interest rates, continuing supply logistics and hiring issues, US government difficulties in passing bills, another sure to be contentious election year starting to emerge, to name just a few problems, may help The Stock Market Bear make this into a longer term string of wins. But history says at some point in time The Stock Market Bull will return to even greater glory, but so far it has been a painful waiting period.

  • The Conference Board says the Preliminary December 2021 US Leading Economic Index(2016=100) is at 120.8, November was at 120.0, October 119.3. “For the first quarter, headwinds from the Omicron variant, labor shortages, and inflationary pressures—as well as the Federal Reserve’s expected interest rate hikes—may moderate economic growth. The Conference Board forecasts GDP growth for Q1 2022 to slow to a relatively healthy 2.2 percent (annualized). Still, for all of 2022, we forecast the US economy will expand by a robust 3.5 percent—well above the pre-pandemic trend growth.”
  • Thursday, January 20, 2022

  • The Natl Assn of Realtors says Preliminary December 2021 US Existing Home Sales Annual Rate is at 6,180,000, November was at 6,470,000, October 6,340,000, December 2020 6,650,000, December 2019 5,530,000; December 2021 US Existing Home Sales Median Price is at $358,000, November was at $353,900, October $353,900, December 2020 $309,200, December 2019 $274,500. “This year, consumers should prepare to endure some increases in mortgage rates… I also expect home prices to grow more moderately by 3% to 5% in 2022, and then similarly in 2023 as more supply reaches the market.”
  • The US Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia says the Preliminary January 2022 3rd District Manufacturing General Activity Indicator is at +23.2, December was at +15.4, November +39.0, January 2021 +26.5, January 2020 +13.7. “The survey’s indicators for general activity, shipments, and new orders posted modest increases after falling sharply last month.

Building has increased but the industry faces constraints, namely cost/availability of materials, labor and lots. And while 2021 single-family starts are expected to end the year about 25% higher than the pre-Covid 2019 level, we expect higher interest rates in 2022 will put a damper on housing affordability.”
  • Tuesday, January 18, 2022
