April 2022 Market Insights
By: Tony Minopoli, President & CIO of Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors
Well, the first quarter is in the book and some of the old problems are still with us, some of the new issues are problematic and we are still looking to discern the path and severity of the inflationary environment. Starting with inflation, I have written on numerous occasions that the Fed was willing to risk inflation by allowing the economy to run hot to avoid deflation. I do not think Jerome Powell thought that he would see inflation at its current levels. To be fair, I do not think there was a Fed model that priced in a massive energy shock due to a Russian invasion of Ukraine. But here we are!
The price of gasoline has risen dramatically as well as continued upward pressure on food and other commodities. The Fed has made their first rate increase and it appears that all roads lead to a Fed Funds rate of about 2.5%. Will they stop there? We believe the stopping point for the Fed will be getting inflation under control, and that means an inflationary environment of 2-3%. Clearly, there is work to do before we see that inflation level again. The cost of energy is one of the most significant contributors to the recent price inflation. Once Russia invaded Ukraine, there was concern that the Russians would disrupt natural gas shipments to Europe. This caused a significant spike in the price of both natural gas and oil. Europe is massively dependent on imports and very dependent on fossil fuels from Russia. Unfortunately, the Biden administration largely squashed the ability of the United States to be the marginal producer. We also made a pivot to Asia from Saudi Arabia and the Saudis do not seem to be too interested in bailing out the U.S. by increasing production. We have had a few folks express happiness about the price of energy, hoping this will spur greater use of electric vehicles. These are the same people that forget that the very electricity that powers these vehicles is largely produced by fossil fuels. I guess these are also the same people that moved from “global warming” to “climate change.” Keep in mind that because our climate has been changing since the beginning of time, these folks will not be out-of-step with whatever change to climate happens to be occurring at the moment!
For the first quarter, we saw the S&P 500 Index return -4.6% and the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index return -5.9%1. Since the end of the year, the 10-year Treasury increased from a year end yield of 1.51% to 2.34% as of March 31,20222. Rising interest rates put pressure on equities, particularly some growth stocks that were trading at very large multiples. We believe that the current environment is going to continue to favor stock pickers over naïve passive strategies. Coming into the year, we believed that stocks would perform in line with earnings growth expectations, and we were forecasting earnings to increase in the mid to high single digits. This is a far cry from the S&P’s 28% return in 20213. Taking into account the inflation spike that followed the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is logical that the path for equities will be somewhat dependent on a reasonable resolution of the situation.
Automatic Data Processing (ADP) estimated that the U.S. economy added 455,000 jobs last month and unemployment now stands at 3.6%, the lowest point since the start of the pandemic4. The labor participation rate moved up 0.1% to 62.4% and this is 1% lower than the participation rate in February 20205 , just before Covid hit the U.S.6 . It is somewhat interesting that the economy is still adding jobs at a time that product and wage inflation are both increasing. In general, most of the economic statistics are showing a level of stability or improvement. The one statistic that is flashing red is the Index of Leading Indicators.
Last April, the Index of Leading Indicators was growing as 12.3% on a year-over-year basis as the Covid rebound was well underway. We had slowly trended down to an annual growth rate of 7.2% in January, but we saw a 40-basis point improvement to 7.6% after the February release7. For my over 30 years in the markets, this has been one of my favorite indices because the index has been fairly predictive in indicating economic activity 6-12 months forward. This downward trend, coupled with the recent inversion of the rates on 2-year and 10-year Treasury Notes has many prognosticators predicting a recession in 2023. I am never dogmatic about these items because many things can change and change quickly. For example, if there is a resolution in Ukraine and the U.S. renews energy production, we could see a significant reduction in energy prices, as well as other prices, and this will reduce inflationary pressures and may keep us off the path to recession. By the way, I am not predicting a recession on the horizon. Our focus is watching what this benchmark is telling us, particularly in light of other economic indicators. We are seeing that the economy has slowed down a bit and is now faced with multiple headwinds of higher inflation, rising wages, a scarcity of workers, and a return of geopolitical issues, currently Ukraine, but Taiwan could be next.
What is an investor to do? We continue to focus on long-term investing because trying to figure out what will happen next, when it will happen, and make these timing decisions with precision is all but impossible. As always, we go back to the fundamentals of asset allocation and prudent capital planning. If nothing has changed with respect to time horizon or risk tolerance, we advise against market timing. That said, please reach out to KoCAA if you would like to discuss any of these matters further.
As we approach Holy Week and the Easter Tridium I am filled with the anticipation of Christ’s Resurrection and equally saddened by the situation in Ukraine. Historians will debate the merits of provocation by the eastward march of NATO and the overt aggression by Vladimir Putin and his regime. At this moment, I am simply dismayed by the level of human suffering of the Ukrainian people. I am also immensely proud of my Brother Knights as we, led by Worthy Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly, have raised about $10 million that supports Ukrainian relief efforts, both now and into the future. As in many past catastrophes, Knights are on the ground and doing what is necessary to help those most in need. As we approach Easter, please keep the Ukrainian people in your prayers.
Until next month.
