‘Keep the rational, sell the trash’ and be aware of the two most important charts for 2024, says SocGen

‘Keep the rational, sell the trash’ and be aware of the two most important charts for 2024, says SocGen
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Markets managed to absorb a somewhat hotter-than-expected U.S. consumer inflation reading for December without much drama.

Now more attention can turn to the corporate earnings season, which slips into gear on Friday, led by financials.

If company results and forecasts are reasonably well-received by investors then the S&P 500 may reach a new closing record.

The benchmark on Thursday closed just 16 points, or less than 0.4%, off its previous peak of 4796.56, set at the start of January 2022.

So, given no significant earnings shocks, and if the market remains comfortable with Federal Reserve rate-cut projections, it makes sense to favor risk assets, according to Societe Generale.

Fundamental signals continue to improve, say the cross-asset strategy team at SocGen, led by head of U.S. equity strategy Manish Kabra. For example jobless claims, one of the key indicators of an imminent U.S. recession, are still far from alarming levels

But be warned, he adds, the sources of volatility are set to increase in the second and third quarters.

There are two main reasons for this, says the French bank in a note published before Thursday’s release of the U.S. consumer price index report.

First, U.S. disinflation, which has been the main driver of the rate cut hopes, may stall as “CPI moves out of its ‘easy comps’ phase in April,” says SocGen. “In the absence of recession it is unlikely to continue to trend lower, so bond market volatility will probably rise.”

Second, the Nasdaq-100
NDX,
which with its heavy weighting of mega tech stocks, has been the main driver of U.S. equities’ earnings per share cycle, will also face tougher EPS comparisons after the second quarter, “and is therefore likely to show a slower pace of growth from 3Q onwards,” says SocGen.

Source: SocGen.

Importantly, Kabra and colleagues see a soft landing for the U.S. economy not delivering the slashing of borrowing costs that investors seem to be betting on.

“Non-recession Fed rate cuts are adjustments and not the start of the cutting cycle that the market is discounting,” the SocGen team emphasize.

Investors, therefore, should use the current “everything rally [to] keep the rational, sell the trash,” such as highly leveraged assets like high-yield credit and highly-indebted U.S. small caps, SocGen concludes.

The Russell 2000 Small-Cap index
RUT,
in which about 40% of companies are unprofitable, is up 12.8% over the last three months. The ARK Innovation ETF
ARKK,
is up 20.8% over the same period.
