Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There’s still no break in sight for high new-car prices , which are on pace to set another record in May, with interest rates also on the increase, according to a joint forecast from J.D.

The ascent of the S&P 500 Index (SPX) to one record high after another might look, on the surface, as a breakout of irrational exuberance among investors. But the opposite is occurring as investment managers become increasingly bearish. Only 49% of the 148 professional money managers recently surveyed have a bullish view of the market over the next 12 months, down from 56% in a fall 2018 survey. This is the first time that the bulls have been in the minority since the fall of 2016, according to the spring 2019 release of Barron's Big Money Poll . It's also notable that 70% of respondents believe that stocks are fairly valued today, the highest percentage in nearly five years. “It’s difficult to get excited about the sustainability of a market rally that consists of expanding valuations in a slowing or declining earnings environment,” as Marc Dion, chief investment officer (CIO) at Wisconsin-based Morgan Dempsey Capital Management, told Barron's.

- A + A NEW YORK/BENGALURU (May 25): US stock indexes shook off early weakness to trade higher on Wednesday as growth stocks rallied, with investors awaiting minutes from the Federal Reserve's May meeting for clues on the path of its policy tightening. The central bank had at its May 3-4 meeting increased interest rates by half a percentage point, the biggest jump in 22 years. Minutes of that session, due to be released at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT), could start shaping the debate over what happens when they meet in June and July to fight surging prices. "You will see a little more of a hawkish tone (today) and a bit more pivot from full employment to making sure that inflation is being fought," said Mike Mullaney, director of global markets research at Boston Partners. "If the Fed continues on the path they've suggested, you'll see a greater probability of a recession in 2023." Fed Chair Jerome Powell has promised to keep pushing on rate hikes until there is clear … [Read more...] about Wall Street rises on growth stocks ahead of Fed minutes

FILE PHOTO: Vendors load sugarcane onto a vehicle at a wholesale market in Kolkata, India, Oct 9, 2018. (Reuters) The world’s food problem is already severe as prices jump and protectionism flares but, a food security expert says there’s a good chance governments can stop it from getting way worse if they heed a lesson from the crisis in 2008: don’t panic. With a gauge of global prices already at a record following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a spate of nations have moved to curb exports in crops from wheat and sugar to cooking oils, exacerbating security risks for the rest of the world. Bad weather is a concern, too. Still, while wheat, corn and soy have soared, rice, a staple for more than 3 billion people, has so far been more stable. If nations do not panic or start hoarding, they can stop the current crisis from becoming a rerun of the one in 2008, when rice prices soared to put the region’s food security at serious risk, according to Peter Timmer, Professor Emeritus at … [Read more...] about Food crisis can be contained if Asia remembers not to panic: expert
