I'm liking my 20% bond allocation today. Nice to see it not falling at the same time equities do, even if for just a day.

It is interesting to see the "Soar" and the "Free Fall" threads at the top of the Bogleheads forum today, number one and number two. NAZZ is up and most everything else down, particularly Small-Cap.

Ignore the noise. No reason not to hold that fund if your goal is long term and you want a ballast for equity declines.

Wow, according to Morningstar at this moment, large growth is up 1.51% and small value down 3.10% today. Wonder what the biggest single day difference is among the highest and lowest performing sector.

We have seen the tug of war between Large Growth and Small Value for months now. I think this might be a sign of change in market leadership, the market has been lead by Large Growth, High Tech, and FAANG plus Microsoft for a long time now. I think what we are seeing is reaction to a disappointing jobs report. A slow growth economy seems to favor the Large Growth and Tech stocks. If it looks like the economy (and inflation) are picking up then Value does better. So the market is trying to decide whether economic recovery will be strong or if it will be relatively weak.

The NASDAQ is up 149.35, the S&P 500 up 6.46, and the Dow down 140.6. So Value and probably Small Value is in free fall and Large Cap Growth and the NAZZ are soaring.

Yes. My Vanguard Commodity Strategy Fund went -2.66%. It's a little below 1% of my total portfolio, and I added a little bit today. I plan on rebalancing into it if it continues to go down.

Commodities are not a "thing". Steel is going up and up. Lumber is going down and down. Not sure about bacon. Supply and demand forces for bacon, lumber, and steel are not closely connected.

But Gold yesterday. Holy cow. I wonder if gold ever dropped that much in one day before. Don't care enough to research that, though.

I would post some more but I have to go saw off a catalytic converter.

For what it's worth, I don't try to make it actionable. If I want to see current prices of things I don't follow, I just google them.

I work in the chemicals industry, in products that are not traded using futures. I have lots of exposure at work to the prices of commodities that are tradable. We buy a lot of this stuff. What i have learned from this is that our forecasting is generally not working. We have vast financial incentives to forecast well, and we can't. I have subscriptions to outside people who forecast all sorts of products including the ones we make. They can't do it either.

Based on that, I don't speculate in them. I don't feel like they're subject to general ideas like "these might do well during inflation." When times are bad, prices go down, it seems to me like, but I'm not going to short them.

Does the Fed normally even talk about possible changes to the rates 18-24 months out? Seems bizarre to me.

I have seen it called "jawboning", and it is an attempt to move markets without actually doing anything.

Not that I can remember. I guess Powell did not want to catch markets off guard in 2023 if the Fed is forced to raise rates.

Well, they should feel free to influence them in an upward direction any time they want.

Maybe it doesn't matter? See:
I suggest not wasting a lot of time and thought about whether the market go up or down over a day or any other short period of time. Whether it soars or tanks over the short term is of little concern to me. I believe a key to long term investing success is simply to keep your focus only on the long term and to assume that today's market activity like almost all daily market news is just noise, not actionable. Financial media obsesses with the details of day to day market action--why it happens that way, how long it will last--and market volatility up or down provides them a constant source of grist for their mill.

I suggest spending your attention and focus instead on getting and keeping a solid investment plan and a diversified portfolio that is suited to you, paying as little attention as possible to financial media and news. The media creates stories not primarily to inform the investing public of important events, but instead to create either fear or excitement emotional hooks that will keep you reading or watching it. Financial corporate and media output is ultimately self-serving designed to maintains the flow of advertising and investment dollars its pockets. True, valid, and timeless investing insight are rare commodities in financial media, a needle lost the in haystack of noise.

Oh goodness, poor TINA is on her fainting couch. Seriously, though, this is just short-term market action. How often have we seen the market get scared by something, rethink things, and then once again march higher? Not saying this will happen. Just saying it's possible.

It's rarely a useful question. The usual answer is either "nobody knows" or "those who talk don't know and those who know don't talk." People want reasons, and the demand creates a supply of "reasons." Both Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Jeremy Siegel have given examples of the foolishness of reported "reasons."

In 'The Black Swan', Nassim Nicholas Taleb wrote:
One day in December 2003, when Saddam Hussein was captured, Bloomberg News flashed the following headline at 13:01: U.S. Treasuries Rise; Hussein Capture May Not Curb Terrorism. ... Half an hour later, they had to issue a new headline. As these U.S. Treasury bonds fell in price (they fluctuate all day long, so there was nothing special about that), Bloomberg News had a new reason for the fall: Saddam's capture (the same Saddam). At 13:31 they issued the next bulletin: U.S. Treasuries Fall; Hussein Capture Boosts Allure of Risky Assets. So it was the same capture (the cause) explaining one event and its exact opposite.
In 'Stocks for the Long Run,' Jeremy Siegel wrote:
On November 15, 1991, when the Dow fell more than 120 points, or nearly 4 percent, Investor's Business Daily ran an article about the market entitled "Dow Plunges 120 in a Scary Stock Sell-Off: Biotechs, Programs, Expiration and Congress Get the Blame." In contrast, the London-based Financial Times published a front-page article by a New York writer entitled "Wall Street Drops 120 Points on Concern at Russian Moves." What is interesting is that such news, specifically that Russian government had suspended oil licenses and taken over the gold supplies, was not mentioned even once in the Investor's Business Daily article!

My interpretation is that Bullard is saying if we get surprising inflation, rates could lift next year. The Fed is not expecting it, so the present expectation is still for a 2023 hike, not 2022.

From Bloomberg article, "Bullard Says High Inflation May Call for Fed Liftoff Next Year" link

Quoting Bullard:
For those on the FOMC who don’t currently anticipate beginning to raise rates next year, “they’re most likely associated with a forecast that says that the inflation will go back down below 2% during that year, and then the committee wouldn’t be oriented toward raising rates at that point,” he said.

The purpose of jawboning isn't to be correct. They aren't even trying to predict inflation, even though they sound like they are. It is all about influencing the economy without taking drastic measures.

Go figure. Seems like the bond market is reading the futures dates but the stock market just heard “rate hike”

I think the markets are still digesting the messaging from Chair Powell & president Bullard. Personally I don't even understand why 10Y is crashing after the Fed indicated 2 hikes in 2023. I just keep backing up my tricycle though.
