In Headline News Today...
Stocks rallied across the board Wednesday as investors embraced further evidence that the Fed continues to do a remarkably good job of engineering the so-called soft landing that has been priced into stocks since last July. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq soared 1.7 % and 2.0%, respectively, climbing back into positive territory for the year.
Then, at 2:15 ET, the bulls got what they were hoping for -- some softening in the Fed's long-standing tightening bias. Even though the Fed's predominant concern remains the "risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected," which we believe does not amount to signs of a rate cut anytime soon, the surprise removal of "additional firming" in the directive was enough of a change to trigger a relief rally that vaulted every sector.
Acknowledgement by the Fed of ongoing "adjustments" in the housing sector also sent the shorts running for cover, especially among beaten-down
Homebuilders
-- one of today's best performers (+3.5%). In fact, 144 of the 147 S&P industry groups posted gains.
Not surprisingly, growing evidence of a more neutral stance lit a fire under an influential Financials sector that was already embracing record results from
Morgan Stanley
(MS 80.77 +4.66). The investment bank handily topped Wall Street expectations with a 70% surge in quarterly earnings.
Management also saying its mortgage business was a "significant contributor" to its record Q1 results also helped silence overblown concerns about the subprime mortgage misfortunes potentially spilling over into the broader economy.
