Market News
After closing out last week with a dramatic market wide sell-off, the week kicked off with even more volatility. Markets initially tumbled on Monday, with Bitcoin briefly dropping below $33,000. This severe drop was however short lived and markets quickly rebounded from this oversold position, closing out the week only slightly down across the board.
Markets had hoped that this week’s Fed meeting would see the central bank soften its language around combating inflation through rate hikes after last week’s equity selloff — but these hopes were dashed as Jerome Powell stuck to his previous script, whilst still keeping the door open for a dovish shift if conditions required — a prudent approach in an environment filled with uncertainty. The day after the FOMC meeting a large batch of economic data was released, including a blockbuster US GDP reading for the fourth quarter (6.9%, the highest since the 80s). Employment data also showed an improvement alongside an at-expectation PCE inflation reading. The latter two data points would have helped improve sentiment, but were not enough to stem the bearish tide.
In a major development for the global crypto regulatory framework, the Biden administration appears to be preparing executive action to formulate an initial government-wide strategy for digital assets, through an executive order. One major concern for the US is the possible adoption of government-backed coins by China and other nations threatening the dollar’s dominance.
The path forward for markets remains as uncertain as ever, and more wild market gyrations are not out of the question. The Invictus suite of fund products offer all of the necessary tools to ride out a volatile environment — if you’d like to learn more about constructing a well-balanced Invictus portfolio, feel free to schedule a call with our Fund Solutions team.
