"Collective Overconfidence?"

Today’s Newsletter (September 22nd, 2025)

Futures in the red at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on last week’s massive market moves and volatility after the Federal Reserve interest rate policy decision and outlook along with a preview of a big economic calendar ahead this week.

From Bloomberg

  • "US stocks are set to pull back from all-time highs as traders search for new catalysts to drive markets at the start of a relatively quiet week on the event calendar. Gold hit a fresh record.

  • Futures for the S&P 500 retreated 0.2% after bets on a series of interest rate cuts drove the benchmark to a fresh high at the end of last week. Kenvue Inc. extended losses in premarket trading, following a Washington Post report that the Trump administration plans to link the active ingredient in Tylenol to autism Monday. Treasuries and the dollar were little changed.

  • After the Federal Reserve cut rates for the first time this year, this week’s data calendar looks thin, with Friday’s release of policymakers’ preferred gauge of underlying inflation the main item. With the central bank’s dovish stance largely shaped by a weakening labor market, next week’s payrolls report looms as the bigger catalyst, alongside the start of the earnings season next month.

  • “This week is overall the calmest week of the month on the macro front and with the earnings season over, markets will likely drift on hearsay and sentiment,” said Panmure Liberum strategist Joachim Klement. “Investors are increasingly bullish on the six-month outlook for US stock markets as the Fed has restarted its cuts, but we think this is a case of collective overconfidence.”"
