WS #16768
A rare macroeconomic indicator has triggered a warning signal, historically appearing only five times since 2000, suggesting a potential trap for equity markets. The analysis points to rising inflation limiting the Federal Reserve's ability to cut rates and reflate asset prices, advising a reduction in stock exposure in favor of bonds and cash. This signal introduces a bearish macro overlay, particularly for growth stocks and high-multiple valuations.
