SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust

SPY tracks a market cap-weighted index of US large- and mid-cap stocks selected by the S&P Committee.

Since my previous writing, SPY has become more attractively valued with an unchanged CAPE ratio but lower real interest rates. More importantly, the probability of interest rate cuts in 2024 has dramatically increased. Meanwhile, the Q2 earnings forecast points to double-digit annual EPS growth from the underlying companies.

SPY: Q2 Earnings And Rate Cut Probability Improved Its Return Outlook

Amid "goldilocks" economic data in the first half of 2024, Mr. Market has priced a "no" landing scenario into the equity markets. However, rising unemployment and impending yield curve uninversion threaten to break the "soft/no" narrative. The top-heavy market rally off of 2022 lows has been driven by P/E multiple expansion. If we get a hard landing (recession), S&P 500 investors are set up for a rude awakening.

In April, I expected tech and AI to be in a correction by June - so far, right on track. Evidence in July shows Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, and Micron in corrective structures, while other names like Meta Platforms are joining their hardware brethren. Overall, AI has begun a correction, and it may last for a few months, with bounces along the way.
