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!

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.

US Economic News

  • Friday, January 21, 2022

  • 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. The employment index remained positive but decreased. The price indexes remained elevated. Responding firms remained generally optimistic about growth over the next six months.”
  • Wednesday, January 19, 2022

  • The US Dept of Commerce/HUD says the Preliminary December 2021 US New Residential Building Permits Issued Annual Rate is at 1,873,000, November was at 1,717,000, October 1,653,000, December 2020 1,758,000, December 2019 1,457,000.
  • The Natl Assn of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Preliminary January 2022 US Housing Market Composite Index is at 83, December was at 84, November 83, January 2021 83, January 2020 75. “… The most pressing issue for the housing sector remains a lack of inventory. 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

  • The US Federal Reserve Bank of New York says the January 2022 Empire State Manufacturing Survey General Business Conditions Index is at -0.7, December was at +31.9, November +30.9, January 2021 +3.5, January 2020 +3.3. “New orders declined slightly, while shipments held steady.

Both price indexes moved lower, but remained elevated. Plans for capital and technology spending were strong. Looking ahead, firms remained optimistic that conditions would improve over the next six months.”

Stock Market Bull Bear Investing Investor Recap

“Happy New Year, I’m Back!” angrily growls The Stock Market Bear, as he defiantly gets the 3-0 outright win in Week 1 of 2022.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 1 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull, confident after a dominating victorious 2021, on Monday charged onto the pasture to show that it will be more of the same in 2022, takes all 3 major US stock indices, and establishes records on both the DJIA and S&P500, making it a joyful “Happy New Year!” introduction for the Bull’s fans. On Tuesday it looked like it might be another great The Stock Market Bull day as he took the DJIA with another new record close. But The Stock Market Bear sneaked onto the pasture and took a big bite out of the NASDAQ and a small nibble out of the S&P500. On Wednesday, with the release of the December Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee and the significant increase of COVID-19 Omnicron variant cases, The Stock Market Bear continued to ravage all 3 indices for the rest of the week, takes Week 1 of 2022 with clear 3-0 win, and with an angry growl announces, “Happy New Year, I’m Back!” The Stock Market Bear draws first blood in 2022, and the challenge has been set.

Among homeowners, the ‘good time to buy’ sentiment fell 30 percentage points over the past year to its current level of 30%; for renters it fell from 37% to 21%. Even though demand remains strong, a majority of consumers clearly have reservations about purchasing a home at current prices.”

  • The US Dept of Commerce/Census says the Preliminary November 2021 US Exports-Goods is at $155.9 billion, Services $68.3 billion, making November 2021 US Exports Total at $224.2 billion, and US Exports Total YTD(11 months) at $2,298.1 billionNovember 2021 US Imports-Goods is at $254.9 billion, Services $49.5 billion, making November 2021 US Imports Total at $304.4 billion, and US Imports Total YTD $3,083.1 billion, making the November 2021 US Trade Deficit at $80.2 billion, October was at $67.0 billion, September $81.4 billion, November 2020 $67.3 billion, November 2019 $40.7 billion, and the November 2021 US Trade Deficit Total YTD(11 months) $785.0 billion, November 2020 was at $610.9 billion, November 2019 $531.1 billion.

Business Survey Committee respondents have indicated that they continue to struggle with inflation, supply chain disruptions, capacity constraints, logistical challenges and shortages of labor and materials.”
  • Wednesday, January 5, 2022

  • The US Federal Reserve Open Market Committee releases its Minutes of the 12/14-15/21 meeting, says, “… expectations for a reduction in policy accommodation shifted forward notably.

The median respondent’s projected timing for the first increase in the target range for the federal funds rate also moved earlier from the first quarter of 2023 to June 2022.”

December’s job growth brought the fourth quarter average to 625,000, surpassing the 514,000 average for the year. While job gains eclipsed 6 million in 2021, private sector payrolls are still nearly 4 million jobs short of pre-COVID-19 levels.”

Shortages of critical lowest-tier materials, high commodity prices and difficulties in transporting products continue to plague reliable consumption. Coronavirus pandemic-related global issues — worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to parts shortages, employee turnover and overseas supply chain problems — continue to impact manufacturing. However, panel sentiment remains strongly optimistic, with six positive growth comments for every cautious comment, down slightly from November….”
  • The PurdueU/CME Group December 2021 US Ag Economy Barometer Composite Index is at 125, November was at 116, October 121, December 2020 174, December 2019 150. “… Agricultural producers are concerned about rising input costs with nearly half (47%) of producers choosing it as a top concern for 2022 and nearly four out of ten respondents said they expect farm input prices to rise by more than 30% in 2022 compared to 2021….”

The Week 52 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 52 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing

The Stock Market Bull only gets a 2-1 mixed win for Week 52, but he easily wins December and all of 2021 big time.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 52 Summary:

On Monday of Week 52, the last week of 2021, The Stock Market Bull had a big day in the pasture, a continuation of Week 51, taking all 3 major US stock indices, including a record close on the S&P500, without any resistance. On Tuesday he took the DJIA, but The Stock Market Bear wasn’t going away for the week as he took both the NASDAQ and S&P500 by small margins. The Stock Market Bull came back on Wednesday to establish new record closes on the DJIA and S&P500, but The Stock Market Bear was still ripping away at the NASDAQ. While The Stock Market Bull was preparing for his Happy New Year celebration he let The Stock Market Bear take Thursday and Friday by slim margins, resulting in the inadvertent loss of the NASDAQ for the week. The Stock Market Bull gets a mixed 2-1 win in Week 52 but needs to be congratulated for being the clear victor with an outstanding 2021. Of course, now the stage is set for 2022, expectations are all over the place as the pundits make their projections and predictions. Happy New Year to all!

This is because incoming economic data suggests that the economy remains on firm ground, particularly cyclical industries like manufacturing and housing. Moreover, low interest rates and high asset valuations continue to drive consumer spending. While we do expect rates to rise, the push of the first-time homebuyer demographic that’s been propelling the purchase market will continue in 2022 and beyond.”

The Week 51 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 51 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing

The Stock Market Bull comes back with a vengeance, takes Week 51 with a 3-0 outright win, says “You’re welcome, Merry Christmas!”

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 51 Summary:

Motivated by his strong finish win last week The Stock Market Bear again took to the pasture and successfully extracted some more flesh on Monday with a resounding 3-0 win. But The Stock Market Bull had had enough. On Tuesday he more than made up the difference, and continued to dominate for the rest of the short Week 51 trading week, with the successive days not being quite as large as the previous day. But the return was dramatic, and even resulted in a new record close for the S&P500 on Thursday. Friday was Christmas Eve, the US stock exchanges were closed, and it became a time to rest and relax before the final week of 2021. So even with the Omnicron COVID-19 variant becoming the dominant strain spreading rapidly around the world, economic uncertainties, and another upcoming contentious mid-term election year, The Stock Market Bull has a very solid lead for the year going into Week 52.
