Here’s why Santa may skip Wall Street this year

Everyone knows about the Santa rally effect, and it’s particularly pronounced in a bull market. According to Bank of America, the November-to-January period is the strongest three-month period of the year for S&P 500 returns, and even more so when August-to-October is above-average, which it was this year with a 4.8% gain.

But the market isn’t showing a lot of festive cheer, particularly if you look at the bottom 495 stocks of the S&P 500 and small-caps. The S&P 500 equal weight index
SP500EW,
+0.40%

is down about 1% from its highs, and the small-cap Russell 2000
RUT,
-0.15%

is down 4%. That’s hardly terrible after the strong gains for the year, to be sure, but a sign that the market is at the very least consolidating.

Markets don’t appear to be in a mood for risk.

Sean Darby, global equity strategist at Jefferies, says an extended period of flows into risky assets has crested as the dollar firms, LIBOR cuts through its moving average, currency volatility breaks out, and the yield curve is “unnervingly flat” while inflation expectations remain elevated.

Soon-to-be-outgoing Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida has opened the door to speeding up the tapering process in December, just as it’s commenced. “The dollar is beginning to reprice all global asset classes and this ought to be accompanied by higher volatility as expected returns become more uncertain,” said Darby in a note to clients.

Speaking to CNBC in an interview that aired Monday, he elaborated on that pessimism. “My fear is that you only have to have small changes in expectations of growth, or indeed policy tightening, and you could have quite a significant change in sentiment,” he said. That doesn’t mean there will be an unhappy fourth quarter, Darby said, but “a pretty difficult time for the first quarter 2022.”
