John Petrides, portfolio manager at Tocqueville Asset Management and fan-favorite guest, is back on the podcast to discuss what’s moving these markets. He explains why the Fed is nearly done with its fast-paced interest rate hikes… why it wants mortgage rates to be around 7% next year… and when we should expect it to start lowering rates. We discuss why a soft housing sector and rising unemployment will be good for the stock market, especially later in 2023… and the three major headwinds investors should focus on right now. John shares which sectors to look at in this market… and whether bonds will outperform stocks in the months ahead. Finally, John discusses his fantasy football teams… and highlights a relatively under-the-radar sport he’s just getting into.
