The market remains complacent even though the two-day meeting of the FED is set to commence today, and central bankers are expected to raise interest rates by 75 basis points tomorrow. Despite that, however, we remain bearish and believe the reality will sink in after the FOMC, and the rally will cease. Indeed, we believe the market will progress deeper into the second phase of the bear market, which has been confirmed by the weak earning season for the third quarter of 2022.
Although with that being said, we would not be surprised to see one more push to the upside as an initial reaction to the FED decision, with investors again seeking to buy stocks at a discount and looking for a reversal in monetary policies. Regardless, we do not backtrack on our price targets at 3 500 USD and 3 400 USD.
