Market update

November Wrapped

Historically, the month of November tends to be a strong one for the equity market. This year was (perhaps surprisingly) no different.

 

Inspired by Spotify’s Wrapped week, we welcome you to markets’ November Wrapped. Last month in markets:

  • Stocks ventured higher: The S&P 500 rallied over +5%—well above its historical November average of +1.8%—in response to signs of cooling price pressures and a Federal Reserve that is likely to be nearing the end of its tightening cycle.
  • All major U.S. indices are up, but one rules: The Dow has now risen more than +20% from its lows, putting it back in a “bull market” (if you use that definition), while the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 and Russell 2000 are a lesser +13–14% above their respective lows.
  • Your top sectors: Materials +11.5%, industrials +7.6%, and communication services +6.9%.
  • One index’s 2022 performance has layers, like an onion: Chinese equities are now near 30% from recent lows in response to reports over the past weeks suggesting a potential reopening.
  • Time to meet the yield curve’s November personality: recessionary. Treasury yields fell notably across the curve. The spread between 10-year+ and 1–3 year global bond yields tuned negative for the first time in at least two decades (as far back as the data goes).
  • We liked this so much, we put it on a cover of a magazine (…kind of): Core bonds are working. The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index generated a total return of 4.7% in November—the best month of performance for global core bonds since the Global Financial Crisis.

GLOBAL BONDS ENJOYED THEIR BEST MONTH OF PERFORMANCE SINCE THE GFC

Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. Data as of November 30, 2022. Note: Global bonds proxied by the Bloomberg Global Bond Index. Past performance is not indicative of future results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
This chart shows the monthly performance of global core bonds, represented by the Bloomberg Global Bond Index, over the past 15 years. From 2007 to November 2022, the chart shows that core bonds mostly generated positive monthly returns between 0.1% and 3.5%. Months of negative returns were less frequent, but saw declines between -0.1% and -4% when they occurred. Certain months stand out noticeably: December 2008 was the strongest month over the 15-year period, bringing a return of 6.2%. November 2022 was the strongest month since then, with a return of 4.7%. Notable negative return months included April and September 2022, which were the only down months to see losses of more than 4% (April 2022 was -5.5%, September 2022 was -5.1%). The key message: November 2022 was the strongest month of performance for core bonds since the Global Financial Crisis (December 2008).
  • Oil has kept things interesting: Brent crude prices rose over +5%, but are still trading around their lowest levels since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (and within $10/bbl of where they started the year). 
  • USD strength played again and again…until it didn’t. The dollar fell -5% off its peak—the largest monthly decline in over 10 years.

It was a good month, but there’s no doubt that headlines will continue to swirl into year-end—whether they’re about central bank dynamics, inflation, potential recessionary fallout in labor markets, or more. We spend today’s note pulling out recent key data points as a preview to our Outlook 2023 publication coming next week.

 

Spotlight

Tying our views to the news

 

1. The labor market is coming off the boil, but still pretty hot. The ADP private employment report came in well below expectations, and Challenger job cuts data revealed that layoffs more than doubled from October to November (coming in at nearly 77,000). The number of job openings has been falling from its all-time highs, and the comedown in the quits rate suggests that workers are less confident about being able to find new jobs if they leave their current ones.

The November nonfarm payrolls report reminded us however that the path may be bumpy. The economy added +263K jobs relative to expectations for +200K as wage growth ticked higher.

In our view, the labor market is likely to soften meaningfully heading into next year. This is a crucial piece of the inflation slowdown puzzle: Earlier this week, Fed Chairman Powell noted that while higher rates have led to some “promising developments” (think: the housing market slowdown), a decline in wage inflation resulting from a weaker labor market will be instrumental in bringing inflation down convincingly. 

 

2. The good? Disinflation seems to be broadening out. PCE inflation data released on Thursday was a bit lower than expectations, which seemed to be welcomed as “good enough” for markets to hold on to most of their post–Powell speech gains.

OCTOBER CORE PCE CAME IN BELOW CONSENSUS EXPECTATIONS

Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis, Haver Analytics. Data as of November 30, 2022.

 

This chart shows the U.S. core PCE, MoM% from June 2021 to October 2022. • June 2021, 0.48% • July 2021, 0.39% • August 2021, 0.33% • September 2021, 0.21% • October 2021, 0.41% • November 2021, 0.52% • December 2021, 0.54% • January 2022, 0.47% • February 2022, 0.37% • March 2022, 0.37% • April 2022, 0.31% • May 2022, 0.38% • June 2022, 0.63% • July 2022, 0.06% • August 2022, 0.54% • September 2022, 0.46% • October 2022, 0.22%

The pace of goods price increases has been on a downtrend as consumer spending has shifted toward services, shipping costs have fallen ~70% from their peak, and commodity prices have cooled -35%. But what about the rest?

Within the services component, we’re encouraged by the nascent signs of labor market softening and declines in higher-frequency rental data from sources such as Apartment List, which tends to lead the “formal” shelter inflation data.

In our view, recession is more likely than not in 2023. The silver lining is that we expect it to help inflation continue to cool.  

3. Potentially historic core bond opportunities. As interest rates have risen, bond prices have been pushed lower: Over 90% of the investment grade bonds in the JPMorgan Investment Grade Corporate Index are now trading below par value, compared to 69% at the end of 2018 and 60% in 2008.

HISTORIC SHARE OF BONDS TRADING AT A DISCOUNT

Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis, Haver Analytics. Data as of November 30, 2022.
This chart shows the percentage of J.P. Morgan Investment Grade Bond Index constituents trading below par value per year since 2000: 2000: 42% 2001: 26% 2002: 9% 2003: 8% 2004: 15% 2005: 38% 2006: 43% 2007: 40% 2008: 60% 2009: 13% 2010: 11% 2011: 13% 2012: 3% 2013: 26% 2014: 19% 2015: 39% 2016: 30% 2017: 26% 2018: 69% 2019: 4% 2020: 2% 2021: 21% 2022: 93%

Over the past few months, there has been a collapse in the percentage of companies in both the S&P 500 and Stoxx Europe 600, with a dividend yield greater than the average corporate bond yield. In other words, investors are more likely to receive a higher stream of income by purchasing a corporate (safer) bond rather than owning (riskier) equity. This hasn’t been the case in broad U.S. and European markets in over a decade.

In our view, investors are being offered the potential to reach their goals while taking less risk. The reset in valuations (higher yields, lower stock multiples) has led to what may be one of the most attractive entry points for a stock-bond portfolio in over a decade.

4. In a fight to secure non-Russian energy, Germany and Qatar struck a long-term gas deal. The Persian Gulf state is reported to ship up to 2 million tons of LNG per year to Germany for at least 15 years starting in 2026. This would replace about 6% of German imports from Russia in 2021.

Elsewhere, the Biden administration granted Chevron a license to resume oil production in Venezuela after sanctions halted all drilling activity almost three years ago. The United States expects a shipment of 1 million barrels of crude by late December.

In our view, Europe’s reliance on Russian energy poses a critical risk, and should also catalyze an investment cycle in a reimagined energy infrastructure. This creates opportunities for investors across real assets.

5. A changing of the cap guard. The past decade in the stock market has been driven by massive growth companies. But this year, the stalwart mega caps have significantly underperformed the broader market: the S&P 500 -14% relative to AAPL -16%, MSFT -24%, GOOGL -30%, AMZN -43% and META -64%. In fact, the market cap of Meta is now at a level below that of old economy Exxon (+81%).

META'S MARKET CAP HAS FALLEN BELOW THAT OF EXXON

Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. Data as of November 30, 2022.

 

This chart shows the market cap of Meta versus the market cap of Exxon since 2012. From 2012 through the second half of 2016, Exxon’s market cap exceeded that of Meta’s, but the two converged over this period: Exxon’s gradually fell from $400MM to $360MM, while Meta’s rose more rapidly from $65MM to $369MM by September 2016. From there, Meta’s market cap continued to rise to roughly $630MM by July 2018, while Exxon’s moved mostly sideways to $356MM by the same month. Meta’s market cap fluctuated between $357MM and $630MM until mid-2020, at which point it broke higher to eventually hit an all-time high of $1.07T by September 2021. Since then, its market cap has fallen sharply, currently at roughly $3.3B as of November 2022. Meanwhile, Exxon’s market cap continued to trend gradually lower until 2020, finding its low around $133MM in October 2020. Since then, its market cap has climbed higher to $452MM as of November 2022—having surpassed Meta’s market cap in September 2022 and currently exceeding it.

In our view, we’re likely to see a change in leadership as small- and mid-cap equities, which are both pricing in recession and have stronger growth potential, outperform their large-cap peers. The steep discount serves as an opportunity to consider harvesting losses and rotating portfolios into equity assets that are expected to provide potentially better returns.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENTS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Conflicts of interest will arise whenever JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates (together, “J.P. Morgan”) have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.

Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio’s investment objective.

As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.

While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward-looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.

The Six Circles Funds are U.S.-registered mutual funds managed by J.P. Morgan and sub-advised by third parties. Although considered internally managed strategies, JPMC does not retain a fee for fund management or other fund services.
