Stock Market This Week: Penny Stocks, News, & What To Watch Jan 23-27

Stock Market Outlook This Week: January 23rd – January 27th

Whether you’re looking for penny stocks to buy or the best high-dividend stocks to invest in 2023, this week in the stock market will be an interesting one. While broad sector trends proved bullish at the end of last week, a slew of new earnings and lack of Fed commenatary could make for an exciting next few days. The current Federal Reserve blackout period will last until the first day of the January FOMC meeting where we’ll finally get some insight from policy makers as to what to expect for at least the next few months of the first quarter.

Fed Commentary Boosts Morale For Bulls In The Stock Market In January

Last week, a number of Fed members made comments that brought some added volatilty to the markets. By the end of Friday’s session, these opinions culminated in a surge of bullish optimism to take markets firmly higher for the week. Here are a few statements made last week, that could be referenced in liu of new comments during the Fed’s blackout period:

Susan Collins

Boston Federal Reserve President Susan Collins said she anticipates “the need for further rate increases, likely to be just above 5%, and then holding rates at that level for some time…More measured rate adjustments will better enable us to address the competing risks that monetary policy now faces” and that rates could rise at a “slower pace.”

Lael Brainard

Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard explained that “Even with the recent moderation, inflation remains high, and policy will need to be sufficiently restrictive for some time to make sure inflation returns to 2% on a sustained basis.” Brainard also discussed how this action could “enable us to assess more data as we move the policy rate closer to a sufficiently restrictive level, taking into account the risks around our dual-mandate goals.”

John Williams

Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said on Thursday, “With inflation still high and indications of continued supply-demand imbalances, it is clear that monetary policy still has more work to do to bring inflation down to our 2% goal on a sustained basis.” Williams also warned that “Bringing inflation down is likely to require a period of below-trend growth and some softening of labor market conditions,” but “restoring price stability is essential to achieving maximum employment and stable prices over the longer term, and it is critical that we stay the course until the job is done.”

Esther George

Kansas City Fed President Esther George: “The direction is a good one.Inflation is still well above the Fed’s target.To be true to the price stability mandate, it looks like we’ll have to be a little more patient to see if we’re on the right trend and going to be there more convincingly to that 2% target.”

Christopher Waller

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, who’s remarks are typically hawkish, actually made comments that were much more dovish than usual, last week. He said, “Based on the data in hand at this moment, there appears to be little turbulence ahead, so I currently favor a 25-basis point increase at the (Federal Open Market Committee’s) next meeting,” and that the central bank is “pretty close” to a “sufficiently restrictire” interest rate to bring inflation under control.

The Stock Market This Week: Key Economic Data To Know January 23rd – January 27th

Tech earnings, key economic data, international economic reports will dictate the pace of the markets this week. While the calendar isn’t as active this week, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of events to consider. That includes U.S. Q4 GDP and, of course, the latest round of jobs reports which are hopeful to show Fed policy working to dampen inflation.

Stock Market News & Events On Monday, January 23, 2022

Stock Market News & Events On Tuesday, January 24, 2022

Tuesday is one of the busier days on the ecnomic calendar this week. Japan Core CPI comes out right as the page turns on the calendar. We’ll also get German PMI for January as well as Eurozone and UK PMI reports. ECB President Lagarde will hold top position on central bank commentary and US manufacturing, services, and S&P composite PMI data will get released just as markets open.

Stock Market News & Events On Wednesday, January 25, 2022

Much like Monday, Wednesday’s economic events are lighter and focus more on global data. The UK’s December PPI and Core PPI will be in focus before US markets open. More from the ECB could also sway sentiment as the central bank hosts its non-monetary policy meeting. German economic data will also be something to keep track of as its IFO business climate index report comes out as traders ready for premarket trading in the US.

Stock Market News & Events On Thursday, January 26, 2022

Thursday will have US economic data at center-stage. Fourth quarter GDP, jobless claims, consumer spending, and wholesale inventories will come out before markets open. Shortly after the opening bell, we get new home sales and KC Fed data. Following the close, Japan reports Tokyo CPI and Core CPI for January, which could impact markets on Friday depending on what’s released.

Stock Market News & Events On Friday, January 27, 2022

ECB President Lagarde opens things up on Friday with a speaking engagement before U.S. markets open. One hour before the 9:30 AM ET bell, investors will be eyeing U.S. December PCE, Core PCE, and personal spending data. We also get Michigan consumer data including spending, sentiment, and inflation expectations. More housing market data also gets reported during Friday’s morning session.
