VIX falling from 66 to 27 is a positive sign and further sign this is a "growth scare" with the worst likely behind us.

VIDEO: The VIX is beginning to normalize, affirming the view this is a “growth scare” and less likely a systematic crisis.

After a crushing 3 consecutive days of selling, equity markets managed to rally strongly Tuesday. To us, this is very constructive and strongly supports the idea the “worst of the selling is behind us.”

• August historically is a bad month (39% win-ratio, as we noted) but with the S&P 500 down -3% in just the first trading day (Monday), we wonder if stocks could climb the rest of the month. Thus, the “badness” is front-loaded.
• The VIX closed at 28 Tuesday, down from 66 peak intraday Monday. And that Monday reading was the 3rd highest ever, after the GFC and after COVID panic lows. So there was certainly a lot of anxiety built over 3 days.
• On Friday, we had noted there were VIX surged +65% in 3D to >25. And this was a clue that markets could bottom this week, something Mark Newton, Head of Technical Strategy, spoke of last week.
  – Looking at surges of VIX +65% in 3D and closing >25
  – 9 times since 1990
  – half the time (4 times), S&P 500 bottomed within 2-4 days
  – this seems to be the case in 2024
  – S&P 500 was higher 3M 100% time with median gain of 7%
• The technical picture for JPY (weakening), Nikkei (stronger) and equity futures (stronger) remain collectively supportive that the intense selling is abating. As we noted Sunday evening, we believe this will ultimately be viewed as a growth scare about US economy.
• In our view, there are 5 incremental positives, once the dust has settled
  1. Fed cuts surge to ~5 by YE from ~1 cut 3 months ago
  2. Fed getting off data dependence… and become forward looking
  3. 5 cuts drastically reduces costs of:
  – auto loans
  – credit card debt
  – business loans
  – adjustable rate mortgages
  – mortgages generally
  4. July and August drop in stock prices will lead to lower Core PCE as “financial services” dependent on stock price movements
  5. The position reset: Investor de-leveraging is sidelined firepower
• There is a growing chorus of economists urging the Fed to shift away from data dependence for logical reasons. But as evidence grows of a softening labor market, being data dependent risks Fed being too late. We found it interesting that Austan Goolsbee, Chicago Fed President, use the word “forward looking” in his CNBC interview on Squawk Box Monday morning.
• There is still a wall of worry out there, but it is getting “chipped away”
  – Equity indices suffer technical damage, requiring time to heal
  – Seasonals poor for August historically
  – July jobs report raises concerns Fed is “too late”
  – Bank of Japan raised policy rates to +0.25% highest since GFC
  – Geopolitical risks heightened in Middle East
  – Large-cap rotation out of MAG7 causing “portfolio pain”
  – 2024 Presidential election tightened dramatically since debates
• Markets have been anticipating an Iran retaliatory attack this week. And once that happens, we likely see markets “sell the buildup, buy the invasion.”
• Incidentally, August to October have seasonally never been strong periods. And this is something we noted that is a stronger pattern in years when the S&P 500 is up >10% in the first half. Just keep in mind Mark Newton also sees challenges in October based upon his cycle work.

• But just because markets might have some headwinds near term does not change the probabilities of a strong second half. As we noted previously:
  – Since 1950, when S&P 500 is up >10% in the first half
  – 23 instances
  – 2H (second half) gains +9.8%, 83% win-ratio
  – the 4 negative 2H instances were 1975, 1983, 1986, 1987
  – essentially, all the negative 2H were during Volcker era

Bottom line, markets are certainly showing strong signs of gaining their footing. And we also view this panic as ultimately being a growth scare (coupled with a carry trade unwind).
