Welcome back to Daily Chartbook: macro market charts, data, and insights pulled from various sources around the Internet by a solo retail investor.


1. Existing home sales (I). "Existing home sales dropped for the 11th straight month in December...leading to a record 34% drop year-over-year (worse than the worst drop during the Great Financial Crisis)".

Zero Hedge

2. Existing home sales (II). "That is the longest monthly streak of sales declines in history which dragged the Existing Home Sales SAAR down to 4.02mm, its lowest since Nov 2010 (below the worst month of the COVID lockdowns)".

Zero Hedge

3. Existing home sales (III). "The median existing home sale price is down 11% from its peak. After the last housing bubble top, prices fell 33%. The same decline today would only bring prices back to Feb '20 levels, a reflection of the mania in the last phase of the current bubble: a 40% increase in 2 years".

4. Existing home sales (IV). "Distribution of existing home sales by price".

5. Months' supply. "Inventories of homes for sale still only 2.9 months of sales — compared to 9.6 months at the onset of the 2007-2009 recession".

6. Household balance sheets. "Household balance sheets remain strong, but we expect that the saving rate will recover in 2023 as households slow their drawdown of excess savings".

Goldman Sachs via @mikezaccardi

7. Excess savings. "We estimate that households have drawn down about 35% of their excess savings so far and will have spent around 65% by end-2023".

Goldman Sachs via @mikezaccardi

8. Fed balance sheet. "The Fed's balance sheet hit its lowest level since October 2021 this week, down $476 billion from its peak in April 2022. Some perspective on how much the balance sheet expanded in 2020-21: it's still $4.3 trillion higher than where it was at the start of 2020".

9. Pensions. "More than a pinch for pensions: after starting 2022 with $1.3T, U.S. pensions lost 15.5% throughout year, giving up all bull-market gains from 2021…FoundationMark shows pensions now hold estimated $1.06T, (less than before pandemic began)".

10. Distressed credit. "Almost $175 billion of real estate credit is already distressed...about four times more than the next biggest industry".

Bloomberg


11. GDP forecast. "BofA expects a mild US recession in H2 2023".

BofA via Isabelnet

12. Commodities vs. inflation. "The YoY inflation push from global commodity prices has moderated, and this has begun to fuel global disinflation".

Credit Agricole via TME

13. Disinflation outperformers (I). "Quality-growth sectors outperformed cyclicals during the 1980s disinflation period".

Jefferies via TME

14. Disinflation outperformers (II). "In disinflation the winners are: Health Care, Tech, Comm. Services and Cons. Discretionary. The losers are: Energy, Industrials and Financials".

UBS via TME

15. Disinflation vs. earnings. "Significant disinflation periods usually witness an earnings drawdown. Trailing EPS for S&P 500 had an average drawdown of 19% during the past disinflation cycle".

FRED via TME

16. TLT levels. "TLT's trailing 50-day price returns is at a 2 sigma. These are truly unusual levels, should only occur infrequently, and therefore signal something important about market sentiment".

DataTrek via TME

17. Volatility. "Volatility for stocks (blue), currencies (orange), and bonds (white) has receded over past few months … wasn’t case prior to that as currency and bond vol spiked to their COVID panic levels (VIX did not)".

Image
@lizannsonders

18. Terminal rate vs. MOVE. "MOVE over Fed Terminal Rate proxy. If this chart is correct, MOVE needs to move up more brining more volatility into the rates market".

Image
Deutsche Bank via @menthorqpro

19. Market indicators. "Equity market indicators are leaning in favor of an early cycle turn emerging in 2024, but the group is yet far from decisive. Homebuilders are strongest while semis and transports appear to be struggling at the top of their downtrending ranges".

@ginamartinadams

20. OpEx day. "Happy first OpEx of 2023! $2.7T of notional exposure rolls off today, with $1.1T of $SPX in the AM and $765B of single stock options in the PM!".

Image
Goldman Sachs via @mayhem4markets

21. Short-dated options. "50% of $SPX options traded expire in 6.5 hours or less. A new record suggesting that every day is now lotto Friday".

Image
Goldman Sachs via @mayhem4markets

22. Risk assets. "Largest inflow into risk-assets since mid2020".

Image
BofA via @mikezaccardi

23. NAAIM. Active managers have sharply increased their exposure to equities (to 65 from 38.8).

NAAIM

24. Emerging market inflows. "Largest inflow to EM equities since Feb'21"

BofA via Daily Shot

25. Selling pressure. "The lower this indicator, the lesser the selling pressure in the market. Who’s left to sell? Hardly anyone. Max pain to the upside".

@gameoftrades_

26. Bad =/= good. "The ‘bad data is good news for equities’ mantra seems over now in the US. .. This is starting to resemble a classic recession playbook, with investors selling equities to buy bonds .. In contrast, Europe appears to be in the sweet spot right now".

Image
Barclays via @carlquintanilla

27. Net profit margins. "Analysts believe net profit margins for the S&P 500 will be higher going forward .. but currently they are on the decline".

Image
Fact Set via @mikezaccardi

28. Q4 earnings (I). With 11% of the S&P reported, 67% and 64% of companies have topped earnings and revenue estimates, respectively.

Fact Set

29. Q4 earnings (II). The blended earnings and revenue growth rates for the quarter thus far are -4.6% and 3.7%, respectively.

Fact Set

30. Margins pressure. And finally, “careful with optimism on earnings. Big pressure on margins still the risk”.

Have a great weekend!
