Wall Street finds fresh exuberance

The rally in stocks testifies to just how scared investors in risk assets were about hikes, and how dependent risk markets remain on continuing cheap money. 

Inflation is coming down, but very slowly and it remains above target. 


Ongoing inflation is more or less entirely about services, as has been the case for a while. 


The Big Four (JPMorgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo) posted stellar full-year results, second-best only to the stock market boom year of 2021. 

Earnings reported so far feed hopes that bank stocks — badly rocked by the regional banking crisis of early 2023 — can return to outperforming the S&P 500 once more.
