December 2022 Market Update

December 21, 2022

In this December market update, Caleb Tucker, CFA®, Director of Portfolio Strategy, reviews this month’s market trends. Some of the key points for December’s update are:

  • The November inflation report was an encouraging signal that inflation is finally headed in the right direction, but we are still well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
  • The market has priced in lower rates in the second half of 2023, but a hope for lower rates next year is not something that should drive investment decisions.
  • Recession risks are elevated as we head into next year, but properly diversified portfolios can help investors navigate this uncertainty.
