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!

The sectors most adversely affected by the pandemic have improved in recent months but are being affected by the recent sharp rise in COVID-19 cases. 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.

Summary News Items for Week 3:

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. Delivery times continued to lengthen, and unfilled orders increased. Labor market indicators pointed to a moderate increase in employment and a longer average workweek. 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.”

  • Monday, January 17, 2022

  • ***Martin Luther King, Jr., Day Observed.
    ***US Federal Government Offices Closed.
    ***US Post Office Closed.
    ***US Stock Exchanges Closed.

US Government/Other News

  • In his first press conference of 2022 US President Biden says his “Build Back Better” legislation will probably have to broken up into several legislative pieces as the US Senate is unable to override traditional filibuster rules.
  • US airlines and airports express concerns over the implementation of 5G networks by major communications vendors near airports because of possible issues with aircraft and airport communications gear.
  • The US stock market takes a deep dive for the 3rd week in a row because of inflationary concerns, the US Federal Reserve indicating plans to aggressively increase short term interest rates, increasing initial jobless claims, international issues, and mixed initial 4Q2021 corporate earnings reports, especially from technology companies.
  • Russia continues to build up troop strength along the Ukraine border increasing tensions in the area. Negotiations by the US and NATO allies have not had any diplomatic breakthroughs as talks continue.
  • A major UAE Abu Dhabi oil facility is hit by a drone attack apparently by Iran-backed Yemen Houthi rebels.
  • An undersea volcanic eruption in the islands country of Tonga wipes out villages and communications. The eruption could be heard over 2,000 miles away.

PBRMarketTools reviews summaries from the most recently released The PBR1000 Snapshots and those from one and two calendar years earlier to produce some analytics to help understand what is happening in this unique set of companies. This is the December 2021 edition.

*Note: All companies on The PBR1000 with a fiscal year ending October 2021 filed their annual 10-K reports with the US Securities and Exchange Commission by December 31, 2021, from which most of this financial data is derived.

Some observations:

Revenues: Retailers, hospitality, and travel related industries have been significantly adversely affected during the pandemic. On the other hand e-commerce, communications technologies, and healthcare industries were beneficiaries. The bottom line is that revenues fell only 2.69% from 2019 to 2020, but for the last 12 months through October 2021 indications are that a recovery is in progress. But profits, earnings per share, and to some extent dividends were significantly impacted. While there were negative and positive shifts in revenues, the bottom line is that it was almost a wash. Of course, these numbers and analytics reflect The PBR1000, the largest publicly held corporations in the US. Smaller businesses certainly were much more affected.

Stock Market: The stock market, which was in a long term bull market, took some big hits at the beginning of the pandemic. But as the analytics show, the recovery was also very dramatic, one of the best years for equities investors. The Average Weighted Analyst Estimates shows an uptick and there was a nice growth in the number of Buy stocks.

Some Conclusions:

There was a shift and rebalancing of revenues in The PBR1000, with the total effect much less dramatic than for most smaller and midsize businesses.

The initial panic over the pandemic had a big effect on the stock market, but it recovered quite nicely. As industries that were the most negatively affected recover there should continue to be significant growth opportunities as the “new normal” sets in, the economy should have robust growth, the usual profits and earnings per share levels will return, and The Stock Market Bull should continue to dominate. The new caveats are recent supply logistics challenges, plentiful jobs available but not being filled, possible impacts of future COVID-19 variants, unpredictability of climate change, other unforeseen natural disasters, the takeover of the White House by a small well-trained group of Maori warriors, an accidental start of a nuclear war, Tom Brady and LeBron James retiring from professional sports, a large undetected rogue asteroid striking earth, an attack by extraterrestrial forces, an unexpected explosion of the sun, and the second coming of Jesus Christ, to name just a few.

Summary News Items for Week 2:

US Economic News

  • Friday, January 14, 2022

  • The US Dept of Labor says “The price index for U.S. imports declined 0.2 percent in December, the first monthly decrease since the index fell 0.2 percent in August 2021. Despite the December drop, U.S. import prices increased 10.4 percent over the past year. The advance in 2021 was the largest calendar-year rise since import prices increased 10.6 percent in 2007… U.S. export prices decreased 1.8 percent in December, after advancing 0.8 percent in November and 1.9 percent in October. The December decline was the largest 1-month drop since the index fell 3.5 percent in April 2020. Despite the December decrease, U.S. export prices rose 14.7 percent from December 2020 to December 2021. The 2021 advance was the largest calendar-year increase since the series was first published in 1984.”
  • The Federal Reserve reported “Industrial production declined 0.1 percent in December. Losses of 0.3 percent for manufacturing and 1.5 percent for utilities were mostly offset by a gain of 2.0 percent for mining.

The US Stock Market December 2021 Summary:

Week 48, the first week in December, which included the last two days of November, ended up being won by The Stock Market Bear with large wins across all three major US stock indices on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  The Stock Market Bull returned the favor in Week 49 by taking every day except Thursday. This was followed by an overwhelming reversal by The Stock Market Bear in Week 50, letting The Stock Market Bull win only Wednesday. In what was becoming a theme, after losing Monday, The Stock Market Bull charged back in the 4 day Holiday Week by taking Tuesday through Thursday, with Thursday including a record close for the S&P500. Going into Week 52, the last for 2021, The Stock Market Bull had a small lead across all three indices, and had a big Monday to start. But The Stock Market Bear returned and took 9 of 12 sessions Tuesday through Friday, but resulted in only a 2-1 mixed win for the week. Of the 3 sessions won by The Stock Market Bull two were record closes on Wednesday for the DJIA and the S&P500. In conclusion, it was a back and forth month with The Stock Market Bull emerging as the winner for the month and the victor by a large margin for all of 2021.

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.”

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. Respondents to the Open Market Desk’s surveys of primary dealers and market participants broadly projected that the Committee would quicken the pace of reduction in the Federal Reserve’s net purchases of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and the median respondent projected net asset purchases to end in March 2022. 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.”
  • ADP says the Preliminary December 2021 US Monthly Change in Private Sector Employment is at +807,000, +204,000 from Small Businesses(1-49 employees), +214,000 Midsized(50-499), +389,000 Large(500 or more). “December’s job market strengthened as the fallout from the Delta variant faded and Omicron’s impact had yet to be seen… Job gains were broad-based, as goods producers added the strongest reading of the year, while service providers dominated growth. 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.”

The swift spread of the Omicron variant does lace new downside risks into the economic outlook heading into 2022, however. Any additional headwinds or disruption faced by firms are likely to temper sentiment.”

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….”
