Well now, gather ’round, folks, for I have a tale of financial intrigue straight from the highfalutin halls of Piper Sandler, a name that rolls off the tongue like molasses on a summer day. This grand establishment is feeling optimistic about stocks, despite a nagging worry that we might all be sitting on one great big bubble-an artificial intelligence bubble, no less! Seems like a bit of a tightrope act, don’t you think?
One Michael Kantrowitz, a chief strategist over at this investment bank, appeared on CNBC-as if that were the only channel in existence-to proclaim that the stock market is finally breaking out of its shell after four long years of sulking in the corner.
“I reckon the reason we’re scaling these dizzying heights of anxiety is because of the macro data and the breadth of earnings,” he declared, as if he were preaching from a mountain top. “Why, it’s those very ladders of data helping us shimmy up our worries, like a raccoon on a trash can!”
Now, it appears that the soft jobs report tickled the fancy of the Federal Reserve, convincing them to cut rates. A curious twist in our tale, wouldn’t you say? It fits snugly into this bullish narrative they’ve woven.
“Look here, the last couple of years saw a whole heap of stimulus with the Fed cutting rates, the 10-Year Treasury taking a leisurely stroll downward, mortgage rates dropping faster than a hot potato, oil prices slipping like a greased pig, and all manner of positive fiscal tidings on the horizon!”
“That’s why we made our audacious prediction last September that the macro economy would finally spread its wings, the earnings would stretch their legs, and we’d see the first sustainable rotation in a doggone four years.”
