Episode notes

Alfonso Piccattiello: The market has basically traded in a sideways range on the S&P 500 between 3800 and 4200. He says investors have this muscle memory over the last 10 years to try and anticipate any Fed pivot. "You frontload a Fed Reserve pivot, you make money because anytime they accommodate the stock market rips up"

Rebecca Hotsko and Alfonso Peccatiello discuss the current market outlook, including the driving force behind the market rally, its sustainability, Alfonso’s prediction of a 0% rate cut by the Fed in 2024, and a whole lot more!

Alfonso Peccatiello is former Head of a $20 billion Investment Portfolio and now is the Founder and author of The Macro Compass, which is an investment strategy firm that provides financial education, macro insights and investment ideas.
