In this short clip from Macro EDGE Roundup recorded on 02/22/2024 (available to EDGE members), Craig Shapiro and I discuss the current state of the stock market, particularly focusing on the tech sector and companies like Nvidia and Microsoft.
We explore the reasons behind the market's 'melt-up mode,' attributing it to company-specific growth and earnings momentum rather than broader macroeconomic factors. Craig highlights the bubble-like behavior in the market, with a significant focus on options trading and the role of AI in driving investor enthusiasm.
He also delves into the potential factors that could lead to a market pullback, including adjustments in the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and inflation data, while questioning the sustainability of the current market trends.
