Tuesday's session on Wall Street brings a bit of consternation after the Christmas break. The last trading week of 2022 is ahead of us, which, despite the lingering festive atmosphere, may involve a last rebalancing of portfolios by investors. Today, investors' attention is focused primarily on individual companies, as the calendar of macro readings during this period is severely limited.
The bullish momentum sustained during the European session was negated after the reading of Trade in Goods balance. A huge drop in the US goods deficit, the largest since 2009, triggered a deterioration in market bullishness. Better goods deficit data could support U.S. GDP in Q4 2022, which could herald the Fed's maintaining a more hawkish stance.
