Episode notes
Breadth Signals More Runway
- Credit spreads and advance-decline breadth show risk appetite and broad participation are strong right now.
- That breadth historically signals roughly nine to twelve more months of runway for a bull market.
Monitor High-Yield Spreads
- Watch high-yield spreads relative to Treasuries as a real-time stress indicator in credit markets.
- If spreads aren't blowing out, the credit market isn't signaling a systemic crisis, so avoid panic selling solely on headlines.
3% Inflation Regime Likely
- Inflation looks stickier and closer to 3% than 2%, so portfolios should reflect that regime.
- Fed easing near all-time highs historically correlates with higher S&P returns the following year.
