Ark Investment Management’s chief executive Cathie Wood is upbeat about her strategy of investing in young technology companies. After her exchange-traded funds dropped 60% to 80% last year from highs in 2021, Woods talked about the current stock market environment in a year-end commentary Dec. 29, 2022.
“We’re getting a lot of deflationary signals, but the Fed isn’t buying in yet,” Wood said, referring to the Federal Reserve’s continuing interest-rate increases. “But the bond market will start to convince the Fed,” Wood said. “The bond market is telegraphing much lower-than-expected inflation and/or recession.”
That prediction seemed to be validated February 1st. when the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised interest rates by only 25 basis points. That was smaller than the 50 basis points it had raised them by in December and the 75 basis points it had increased the rates by in each of its previous four meetings. The Fed seemed to have been recognizing the deflationary signs.

- Markets: In the five weeks of trading so far in 2023, the NASDAQ gained in all five and the S&P 500 in four. The still-booming labor market and falling inflation appear to be outweighing poor corporate earnings in investors’ minds.
