The Fed's soft landing is in sight, strategist says
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) closed Tuesday above 5,500 for the first time ever, while June's ADP employment report revealed slowing jobs growth. JPMorgan Wealth Management global investment strategist Elyse Ausenbaugh joins Morning Brief to discuss the economy's health as Wall Street enters the second half of the year.
"All in all, we continue to see a labor market that remains rather robust and working in the favor of consumers with positive real wage growth. And I think we're finding ourselves in kind of this healthy slowdown that ultimately gives one of those key ingredients for the soft landing," Ausenbaugh explains. However, she notes that if the unemployment rate rises above 4%, it will begin to stoke concerns, and the Federal Reserve may not initiate an interest rate cut.
As the markets (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) continue to reach all-time highs, Ausenbaugh is comfortable with the current stock valuations: "In an environment where inflation concerns and risks are perhaps as great as recession risks - neither of which we think are particularly meaningful, our base case is for a soft landing - I think so long as that remains part of the equation, these valuations are actually fairly justifiable, particularly because the rally is being driven by these really profitable companies that are surprising to the upside."
Ausenbaugh believes that the election could cause market volatility in the second half of the year, especially as investors await the Fed's first rate cut. She also explains that earnings will be a major catalyst that will continue to push the S&P 500 to new heights.

this is a life changing project
Invest in Bitcoin before retiring by diversifying across assets, allocating a small portion of your portfolio, staying updated on market trends, and considering long-term holding to balance risk and growth.

I recently sold half my tech stock holdings due to all-time highs, leaving me with $400k. Should I invest in ETFs now or wait for a market correction considering potential inflation?

Sounds interesting. I was planning to invest some few £ in some coins, stack them up and leave them for a few years, but seeing this changed my mindset. Thank you very much

Ok so hear me out: Always ignore the first three comments in the coment section and ignore any comments talking about a new 💩 coin crypto or how you can make quick money 😅😂
It’s funny to see all of these people who aren’t old enough to have lived through a crash saying they don’t think it will happen.
