After last week’s big rate-hike announcement, we heard some hawkish commentary from Fed Board Chair Jerome Powell. That really spooked the markets, and stocks have been in freefall ever since.

But the central bank hiked as expected… so, why are investors freaking out right now?

Well, the markets were expecting a soft landing in the forecast, yet the Fed’s projections showed that the bank has no intention of pivoting. It’s much more concerned with the real economy, not the financial economy. And it’s keeping its foot on the gas until something breaks.

In fact, we’re still due for one more fast-and-furious selloff in this 2022 market crash. Historically, these grand finales mark the bottom in a bear market. One more major selloff could break some things in the real economy and force the Fed to reassess.

That will set stocks up for a mega rally. But things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.

The lesson here – don’t fight the Fed. Wait until it pivots, then get constructive on stocks again.
