Weekly Market Commentary (8/22): Markets Broaden on Fed Shift, Housing Softens & Global PMIs Improve

This week’s Market Note with Alex Varner (Head of Research) and James Maxwell (VP of Research) covers: Markets Move Higher: Broad strength across equities, led by small caps and healthcare. Tech and communication services cooled after leading much of the year. Fed Policy Shift: Powell’s Jackson Hole speech interpreted as dovish, with markets now leaning toward a 25 bps rate cut in September. Housing Strain: Existing home sales up, but high prices and rates keep the market tight. Inventories at highest since 2016; permits slowing sharply (lowest since mid-2020). Global Manufacturing Revival: U.S. PMI hits highest since 2022 (53.3), India strongest since 2009. Europe improving but still near contraction. Services more mixed, though U.S. remains solidly in expansion. Click here to read this week's full Weekly Market Note: https://www.mainmgt.com/wp/wp-content...
