1 Sector in the Most Danger and Monday’s Huge Fed News

by | Nov 22, 2021

We have a fragmented week ahead of us due to Thanksgiving, but the markets are up as we move toward the holidays — and more in Monday’s stock market recap. 

President Joe Biden just announced he will stick with Jerome Powell as the head of the Federal Reserve. More on that market-moving news below…

As COVID continues to surge across Europe, Austria entered its fourth national lockdown with a new vaccine mandate to take effect on Feb. 1.

Shares of vaccine manufacturers Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE), BioNTech SE – ADR (Nasdaq: BNTX) and Moderna Inc. (Nasdaq: MRNA) are rising after the CDC approved vaccine booster shots for all U.S. adults.

The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is up to 1.60% this morning.

I am a bit worried about the pull/call ratio. The lows are getting lower, meaning we could be preparing for a pullback.

And I believe that pullback will be felt the most in one particular sector… Find out which in the video below!

Roger’s Radar: The Fed Chair and a Battle of Top Chip Stocks

Biden announced around 9 a.m. EST that he will stick with Powell over Gov. Lael Brainard as the Chair of the Fed, sending futures sharply higher…

Per The New York Times: 

Mr. Biden, who will also nominate Lael Brainard, a governor, to serve as the Fed’s vice chair, said he was confident that both Mr. Powell and Ms. Brainard would work to lower prices and keep the economic recovery on track.

“I’m confident that Chair Powell and Dr. Brainard’s focus on keeping inflation low, prices stable and delivering full employment will make our economy stronger than ever before,” Mr. Biden said in a statement on Monday.

Also on my radar: a battle of semiconductor chip heavyweights is trending among Google searches, Nvidia Corp. (Nasdaq: NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: AMD).

Per The Street: 

More easily than finding many fundamental differences between NVDA and AMD, we see more similarities between the stocks. Both companies should attract growth investors who think that the long-term opportunities in tech might be underappreciated today. The more value-conscious investor, however, will probably be discouraged by the valuation multiples in both cases.

Combat Inflation With This Strategy… 

Wall Street knows the key way to beat inflation is by trying to flood the stocks that are set to outperform.

It just makes sense… 

But what if I said there’s a way to uncover those stocks before the giant surge? 

Well, thanks to this stock market trigger that’s already locked in winners like 36.92% on APTV in seven days… 53.66% on PWR in four days… and even 83.87% on ALB in six days….
