Market Update: February 21, 2025

  Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. We did, very briefly, hit new all-time highs on February 19. But for the most part, the market has been range bound for most of February as investors continue to digest headlines associated with tariffs, inflation, and interest rate cuts or lack-there-of. The inflation reading for this month was not a good one. The total consumer price index or CPI [...]

Market Update: January 21, 2025

  Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. January has had a pretty decent start for 2025 with the market up about 2% as of January 21st. We had previously been in a downward trend but have recently broken out of that trend and appear to be marching back towards all-time highs. At least until this week when AI stocks were disrupted. As we enter into 2025 and [...]

Market Update: December, 23, 2024

Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. To end the year, the market had a strong rally following the results from the presidential election. But we have run into a bout of volatility in the middle of December. Causing the spike in volatility was a clear change in language and direction from the Federal Reserve that caused a sharp selloff in bonds and stocks alike. While the December [...]

Market Update: October 22, 2024

  Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. The market just continues to march higher despite war in the Middle East, slowing consumer spending, and a really tight race between these two. For those wondering why I haven’t commented on the upcoming election, it’s because the results of the election do not matter to the long-term trajectory of the markets. There is no statistically significant difference between returns [...]

Market Update: September 25th, 2024

  Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. Well folks, we are finally here! We got our first set of rate cuts this month. The Federal Reserve cut their benchmark rate by 50 basis points or half a percent. The larger 50 basis point cut came as a positive surprise to the market which rallied on the news of a bit of extra monetary relief. Looking ahead, the [...]

Market Update: August 20th, 2024

  Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. So this month we had our first bout of volatility in a while. The early August selloff was sparked by margin calls on Japanese Yen carry trades. That’s a bunch of words that essentially mean people were over-levered, they were caught offsides, and had to sell as a result. Even though this is the same exact trade that caused the [...]

Market Update: July 22, 2024

  Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. Let’s start off with a quick inflation update. Core inflation continues to fall indicating that the 2022 inflation cycle is nearing its end. This particular inflation reading triggered a market rotation into a variety of different stocks that had previously underperformed the tech-centric indices. This includes a very strong rally in small caps as pictured here in the blue by [...]

Market Update: June 21st, 2024

Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. Let’s start off with a quick inflation update. We got some decent news on the inflation front this month. While the total CPI shown here in red looks like it’s still stuck in it’s sideways trend, the positive news is actually beneath the surface. Sticky-price CPI shown here month-over-month here in blue, quarter-over-quarter in green, and year-over-year in orange, is showing [...]

Market Update: May 17, 2024

  Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. Let’s start off with a quick inflation update and how that has affected the markets. We did get a CPI reading for the month of April which came in at 3.4% year/year. This is a very slight drop from March. The market actually took this month over month drop positively. At the very least, inflation isn’t increasing and is holding [...]

Market Update: April 2024

Welcome to the Monthly Market Update from Signature Wealth Management. I’m Brian Ransom, Research Director from Signature Wealth and here’s what happened in the market this month. https://youtu.be/gyKiKtFbeRI   Now I know it’s not 2022 and inflation was supposed to recede by now but here we are in April 2024 and we can’t have nice things. Inflation was expected to continue to fall and level off around 2%. We did not get that. Instead, it leveled off around 3-3.5%. As mentioned in previous videos, it didn’t look like inflation [...]
